Puppy Classes
New Time! Puppy Social Group
on Saturday mornings from 10:00am to 11:00am at NordOsten
Kennel in Rowley, Ma. Socialization
involves meeting and having positive encounters with adults, children, puppies & dogs. Puppies need to get use to a variety
of events, environments, & situations. This will esure your pup grows up to be emotionally well adjusted. Puppies that
are not socialized may grow up to be fearful. Pups that are not use to different environments & situations spend their
lives being frightened when taken to unfamiliar places. Well socialized puppies grow up to be friendly & happy in the
company of people and other animals, becoming succesful pets. When taken out regulary as puppies, they adjust better to different
situations and enjoy going anywhere with their owners. Puppy Socials are an ideal
way to socialize your puppy. They offer a chance for your puppy to meet other puppies in a safe, controlled way. These are
informal get togethers for puppies and their owners. Your puppy will learn to
mix with other puppies, adults & children and have a fun time. We have obstacles in the play yard that we use for
building confidence. During this time, owners are encouraged to ask questions regarding
their puppy, anything to do with house training, nipping, leash walking, commands they should be teaching their pup at home,
diet, excersize, etc... For all breeds ages 2- 4 months. If you would like to join this group, call Cathy 978-432-1235. $20.00 per session, drop in.
