Puppy Play Groups are held off-leash in a fun and easy going environment, where your puppy gets the benefit of mini-training sessions, for basic skills such as taking treats politely, name response and coming when called, sit, down, walking mannerly on-leash and how to shake-paw and more. In between mini training sessions, your puppy will enjoy play sessions that include lots of socialization with other puppies while being exposed and handled by new people and children.
