Your puppy will have the opportunity to run and play off leash with other dogs their age, while you practice essential puppy-parenting skills like reading canine body language, recognizing over-arousal, and knowing when and how to give your pup a break!
In addition to group play, you and your puppy will also participate in “parallel play” activities designed to build confidence, reduce fixation on other dogs and people, and prepare your Urban Puppy for life in the big city.
- Explore new textures, objects, smells, and sounds
- Balance your puppy’s interest in others with focus on you
- Meet puppies of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and connect with other puppy parents
- Observe from a safe distance if that is what is best for your puppy
- Identify canine discomfort and learn how to approach situations where your puppy may be frightened or over-excited
