what to expect

This class focuses on foundational skills of focus, confidence, and safety in spaces that are shared with other dogs, not on dog-dog physical play. Some dogs may quickly progress from sharing space to sharing common training activities and then even comfort and skill with short visual and physical greetings of other dogs. These skills support healthy foundations for dog-dog physical play. If there is an opportunity for safe and healthy dog-dog play and a good match between dogs, play interaction will be supported.

Guardians will be expected to be present and sometimes to work with their puppy for the duration of class.
