Puppy Playgroup

Puppy Class is held on Saturdays at 1:00 pm.

Does your puppy need some buddies?

Bring them to PBC’s Puppy Playgroup! This weekly hour long meet-up is not a traditional puppy class, but a place where your puppy can play and hang out with other puppies. The playgroup is supervised by one of our senior trainers, Sam Mimitz, so puppies are only practicing safe and appropriate play—no bullying allowed! This is a great chance for them to practice those essential dog-dog social skills while they are still young.

Do you have puppy questions?

Bring them to Puppy Playgroup too! Hang out with other puppy owners and enjoy the opportunity to ask your trainers about housetraining, what to do about those sharp little teeth, crate training–all the little questions that pile up.

Want to work on a solid foundation for your puppy?

This is not a puppy class—but that doesn’t mean your puppy won’t be learning! An hour is way too long for puppies to be running around wrestling, so the play will be broken up with short sessions practicing essential skills like being held for nail trims, learning that crucial “off switch” so they can relax, or teaching your puppy to check in with you around distractions (like other puppies!).

Enjoy socialization and enrichment opportunities!

Puppies will be provided with a variety of toys and games to explore and encounter, with age-appropriate obstacles to conquer. Depending on availability, specially selected guests may be present to help expose your puppy to a wide range of people.

Playgroup meets on Saturdays at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, and is run by Sam.  It includes handling exercises, playtime, and more!  Our playgroup is run on a drop-in basis–you register for as many sessions as you and your puppy need!

Please note: before attending your first session, you must provide vet records, including distemper, parvo, a clean fecal report and bordetella and complete our class questionnaire and contract. This playgroup is for puppies age 8-20 weeks.
