Socialization & Playgroups

Some dogs are still kids, and they need to play and get their Yaya's out by playing with other dogs. Some dogs come to our playgroups looking like danger but with a little support from me learn how to behave safely around other dogs. In the summertime we have a pool party at the pond which the dogs love, but they have to have a formal recall, so they don't run away most dogs will stay with the pack though.
