We are thrilled to announce our exciting new comprehensive all-day training and socialization program here at Room for Paws: Puppy Socialization Preschool! Our Puppy Socialization Preschool is designed to help your dog learn, play, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment.
Each day at our Puppy Socialization Preschool covers everything your puppy needs to start off on the right paw, all in our state-of-the-art facility! Currently, the schedule is:
- Total Program Time: 8 weeks
- Frequency: Twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays, for a total of 16 sessions.
- Duration: From 10 AM to 3 PM (don't worry—you can drop off your puppy at any time before, or during those hours!)
- Requirements: Puppies must be up to date on their vaccines
Life Skills and Learning Experiences
Our program is designed to help your puppy grow into a well-rounded, confident dog. Puppies are introduced to various environments, textures, and sounds, helping them become familiar (and less reactive) to common noises such as blow dryers, thunderstorms, and more.
Your pup will have field trips throughout our facility, including trips to our professional grooming spa where puppies can get acclimated to the sights, sounds, and sensations that come with a grooming appointment, helping to make future grooming experiences smooth and stress-free.
For an additional fee, grooming services can be added at any point during the program to give them firsthand experience. If you want to start getting your puppy used to overnight stays, we also offer premium all-suite boarding with Kuranda™ beds, soothing music, and of course, story time with lots of snuggles and belly rubs!
Socialization and Behavior Modeling
Our program emphasizes socialization with both humans and other dogs. Puppies will meet people of all shapes and sizes—we even go so far as to ensure the people they meet are wearing different clothing, like hats or sunglasses, and carry items such as large toys. Your pup will also enjoy visits with our daycare guests, giving them a chance to play with (and learn from!) older dogs. This diverse interaction helps them become well-adjusted to different scenarios they might encounter in life.
Training
Our trainer-led sessions are designed to provide an optimum balance between play and learning, ensuring your puppy develops into a happy, well-behaved dog. We'll start by covering all the essential skills your puppy needs, such as:
- Obedience commands: Starting with basics such as sit, stay, leave it, wait, recall, and more.
- Name recognition: Helping your pup learn to respond to their own name and come when called.
- Intro to leash walking: Teaching puppies to walk nicely on a leash without tugging or lunging.
- Nipping prevention: Ensuring puppies learn appropriate bite inhibition with humans and other pups.
- Crate and potty training: Ensuring they have proper potty behaviors, including going to the bathroom outside in our pristine, K9Grass™-covered fenced in yards.
- Appropriate playing: Encouraging healthy play habits with both humans and other dogs.
