(This group is not suited for reactive dogs)
There is more to socialization than running, wrestling and jumping on each other. It is important for dogs to understand body language how to engage when invited and disengage when a dog has had enough. Dogs will often give signs that they are not interested or they have had enough Unfortunately we do not always read the situation correctly. As puppies reach adulthood their interest change and they often become less tolerant.
This fun filled group is designed to understand proper socialization, play and learning impulse control. It will help your dog overcome their fears and build confidence through engagement, play and problem solving. This group will help you have a better understanding of who your puppy/dog is and what they need to be able to better navigate the world with confidence.
