Puppy Socials

What is a puppy social? At Club K-9, a puppy social is approximately 40 minutes of structured puppy play time and socialization exercises. Your puppy will learn to interact appropriately with other puppies, how to play, and how to cool their jets when they’re excited about their furry friends. Our puppy socials are supervised by experienced dog handlers and trainers. We keep our socials nice and small and only allow a maximum of 8 puppies per social. Parents join their puppies in the play sessions to learn for themselves what appropriate puppy play looks like, how to manage their puppy during playtime, and familiarize themselves with rewards based training. We use treats and toys during the sessions, and provide comfy beds, play structures, and guidance.


Puppy Socials: Wednesdays at 6:15PM
Age Requirements: puppies 8-20 weeks are welcome, we’ll match your puppy based on temperament/play style/size.
Puppy Social Fees & Packages: 1 Social-$35, 3 Socials-$100, 5 Socials-$165, 10 Socials-$320.

**Please sign up for your puppy social ahead of time via email, text, or Gingr to ensure we have space for you and your puppy.**

 


puppy DayCamp

Puppy Day Camp is your dogs introduction to the world of daycare! Our program runs from 9 AM to 5 PM, providing a structured environment for young dogs to socialize and learn essential skills. During the day, puppies engage in supervised play sessions with their peers and adult dogs, fostering important social behaviors. The program incorporates crate training to help them become comfortable with confined spaces and learning to settle on their own. Puppies are also gently introduced to new people and various objects, ensuring they grow into well-adjusted pets capable of navigating diverse situations with ease. Our Puppy Daycamp is suitable for both puppies who are not old enough yet for daycare, and dogs under 1 year that need some more socialization in groups before being evaluated for daycare.


Class Schedule: Every weekday from 9AM-5PM
Age Requirement: 8-52 weeks.
Fee: $60 per day (offering early drop off at 6:30AM and/or late pick up at 6PM for $15 each.)
