Puppy Off-Leash Social Hour! For puppies 6 months and under with at LEAST 2 rounds of Parvo/distemper vaccinations. Puppies over 16 weeks must show rabies certificate. Proof of all vaccinations required.

Monitored by professionals, we will be setting all attendees up for success, providing structured introductions, body language assessment, and appropriate moderation during free play. Puppies that are not enjoying their visit or showing aggression may be requested to leave at any point at moderators' discretion.

Come prepared to stick near your puppy and help referee their play and supervise. Advocate for your pup at all times and clean up after them.

For puppies with at least two distemper/parvo vaccinations 6 months old or younger!

This is a 6 week class designed for socialization and positive exposure to new people, dogs, textures, and sounds in a public place. Instruction will include potty training advice, crate/confinement training suggestions, how to curb puppy mouthing/nipping, and some introduction to some basic manners skills such as sit, come, wait, and leash walking. This class will fulfill AKC S. T. A. R. Puppy requirements if interested in the title!

Where appropriate, we will also introduce some play time between well-matched puppies and discuss what healthy play looks like, how to advocate for our dogs to keep our dogs enjoying play, and when and how to stop play that's getting out of hand.

This class is Fear Free and positive reinforcement based, meaning no choke chains, no prong collars, no E-collars. Please bring your puppy on a comfortable collar or harness and a standard 6 foot leash. NO retractable leashes!

Bring 1-2 cups of pinky nail sized soft treats (you can use a freeze dried dog food like Dr. Marty's to replace pup's breakfast if you'd like)! We use a LOT of food, so while sometimes we use very high value treat food like cheese or a chicken nugget, we can't use that all the time or it will be unhealthy.

This class will meet at 163 S Broad St. Unit 12 Stonington CT.
