3pm: Dog socialization for dogs under 30lbs
About this event
Come have a dog playdate with all your friends at the club. Your dog must be either a current student of our AKC STAR Puppy class or have completed and passed the program.
A release of liability is required to be signed at the facility.
Keep your dog socialized. Unfortunately, after the intensive period of early socialization (Puppy Class) period many owners slack off. They see that their hard work has paid off and that their puppy is friendly and sociable in every situation they find themselves in. What they don't realize is that dogs naturally become more shy and standoffish as they get older. Adolescent and adult dogs develop fears and phobias to stimuli that they aren't continually exposed to. Keeping your dog well-socialized to other dogs is not so easy, and often this area of their socialization deteriorates the most rapidly.
Format
Come early and let your dog do it's business in our yard.
Be in the facility and checked in by 3pm. Keep dogs on leash until we are all in the facility and checked in. Door will be locked at 3:05pm.
Every 20 minutes we will collect our dogs on leash and then release them again. Anyone who came late can come in at this time. This not only allows others to join in, but it is also a great recall and reward exercise. Remember, every moment is a teaching opportunity.
Facility will be set up with interactive equipment to climb on an maneuver.
