Puppy Social Club - Rolling Enrollment
Sign up at any time: Structured and Supported at Seward Park Studios and Seward Park
Service Description
Note: I can be flexible on your start time. As long as we have at least two people signed up, we can work around your schedules. You can write preferred start times in the intake form. Appropriate socialization protects a puppy’s mental health and welfare as they learn to navigate the world. Research shows that dogs develop healthy social skills through shared experiences with other dogs, not just free play. In Puppy Social Club, puppies start by observing one another in calm, parallel experiences. This allows them to communicate in subtle ways long before direct interaction occurs. It also helps us to learn a lot about our dogs. These early experiences support emotional regulation, confidence, and pro-social communication that carry into adulthood. As puppies demonstrate readiness, they are supported in choosing when and how to move closer together in an enriched outdoor environment at Seward Park. This choice-based approach allows social skills to develop naturally and safely. Once puppies are comfortable sharing space outdoors, sessions move indoors to Seward Park Studios. Here, puppies explore an enriched environment together—engaging, disengaging, playing, resting, and investigating their surroundings in a way that mirrors real-life social dynamics. This program is built on safety, predictability, and science-based practices that support deep learning during critical developmental periods. Puppies remain in consistent partnerships and gradually progress to shared spaces with additional dogs when they are ready.
Cancellation Policy
Class Policies at Growlerz You may cancel up to 48 hours before the first class for a full refund. Once the class begins, refunds are not available. If an emergency prevents you from attending classes, I will offer one private session to help you catch up. After booking, you’ll receive a class contract to review and sign. You’ll also need to enroll your dog with Growlerz and upload the vaccinations Growlerz requires for all dogs on the premises before attending. Dogs will wear Y-harnesses, and guardians will use eight-foot leashes during class. You can purchase these beforehand or borrow them from Kendra during class. If your dog is reactive toward people or other dogs, please call Kendra before registering. We’ll talk about whether the class is a good fit for your dog and discuss other options if needed.
