Is your dog shy and apprehensive around people and other dogs? We call this the “country curse.” Often dogs that live away from other people and animals need help socializing.
Each Sunday we bring non-aggressive dogs together for an hour of supervised play. Owners come, too! Our Dog Sports & Fun Programs are perfect for socialization and exercise.
We have group on Sunday 10-11 & 11:15-12:15 for dogs 20 lbs and up.
Please enroll ahead of time.
A “Play Card” is available, which offers one free playgroup for every 5 purchased playgroups. Ask the playgroup pupfessor about purchasing your card.
