The first three months of a puppy’s life are the period when sociability outweighs fear. This is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to new people, animals, and experiences. Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance, and/or aggression.

Puppy Socials
At our puppy socials, puppies learn how to play, socialize and exercise safely and disease free with other puppies!
And their parents learn too! Our socials are the perfect opportunity to get advice on all things puppy.
Socialization is critical for young puppies to ensure their puppy learns the skills and confidence to grow up to be a city dog. Certified trainers run our Puppy Socials, and we will ensure all puppy play is appropriate and mutual
We offer weekly small 45-minute puppy play groups for puppies 8 weeks to 14 weeks.
- 2121 Taraval St. between 31st and 32nd Ave
- Check back for more information on socials starting mid-September
