New Day & 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 10
weeks- 4 months. If you would like to join this group, call Cathy 978-432-1235.
