Notes

***  10:00 AM - 12 noon for May's Puppy 1 are not typos - this Puppy 1 includes the Saturday Puppy Play Social 

*** This May Puppy 1 class fee includes a fee for my Puppy Play Group Social with lots of puppies10:10 AM - 11 AM. The $185 fee for the class and social also gives a disoucnt of $20 for the 5 Play Groups included with the class. 

* Dogs must be safe with people and dogs and able to work in a class environment (lots of exercise before class helps).* Please bring a pad for your pup/dog to lie on, i.e. a mat, rug, beach towel, blanket.

* For Puppy classes and Trick classes sharing your dog's pad is encouraged, so bring a pad large enough for the 2 of you.

* For the Canine Nosework please bring a camp chair and a crate. If you have no chair, I will have a few extra.
There are a lot of bad backs out there, so please, whatever you are signed up for, if you need to sit on a chair, bring one or let me know and I will get you one.

THERE IS NO PUPPY PLAY SOCIAL SATURDAY 5/25/13

Puppy Play Group in Redwood City 

Puppy play group is held Saturdays 10:00 AM - 11 AM at Planet Pooch, 866 Kaynyne St. Redwood City (this location is only a couple of minutes off Hwy 101 and actually a preferred location for many of my Los Altos and Palo Alto students).

$10 drop in fee.

Puppies must start in play group BEFORE the age of 16 weeks.

Proof of vaccinations appropriate for age is required the first visit.

Why puppies should start socialization as soon as possible: AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization http://www.avsabonline.org/avsabonline/images/stories/Position_Statements/puppy%20socialization.pdf

Adolescent Play is on hold, BUT, puppies that start in play group before the age of 4 months, may continue in puppy play group as long as they enjoy it and maintain excellent play skills. Puppy dogs are segregated into group as needed.

Play group is not for adolescent bullies. Again, please note that puppies need to start in play group before the age of 16 weeks in order to continue attending play group

In case of a last minute Saturday play group cancellation, check this page or home page Friday evening.
