Important Note Regarding Dog Socialization 

Please note that all dogs must pass an initial meet and greet evaluation conducted by WOOF’S PLAY AND STAY to participate in group play. We believe it is essential to instill proper socialization and playtime with other dogs. Dogs attending our Board and Train Program get the opportunity to learn how to run and play appropriately and coexist with other dogs.

PUPPY TRAINING 101

Getting your puppy started on the right paw will shape their behavior for a lifetime! Our group puppy class focuses on teaching: proper socialization, basic obedience, grooming manners, and potty training rituals – all of which are imperative for your puppy to experience at a young age. This class also seeks to prevent predictable puppy problems and break puppy habits like: mouthing, jumping, resource guarding, and chewing. During our group puppy class, we conduct puppy recesses and structured pack socialization breaks to promote proper socialization and instill positive behavior with other furry friends. Puppies who attend may be up to 7 months in age when the first class begins and must have age-appropriate vaccinations.

This program includes a AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program Certification.
