Play sessions are facilitated and closely monitored, and playmates are matched by size and play style.

Benefits of puppy class

Early puppy socialisation is vital. The sensitive period for socialisation is from 3 until about 12 - 14 weeks – it’s a crucial time in a puppy’s development because their brains are especially receptive to learning about the world they will live in as they get older. It means puppies have to encounter and be comfortable with all of the things you want them to accept gracefully as adults - all kinds of people, other dogs, other animals, noises, surfaces, sights, and smells etc.
