The Socialization Program
The Socialization tuition is $1500/a month. Our socialization program is from 8 weeks of age to 12 weeks of age. All vaccines and worming will be kept puppies up-to-date and are included in the tuition price. Weekly updates with pictures and/or videos are given. We believe there are many benefits to leaving puppies with their siblings or puppies of similar age for an extended time. This is why we started the socialization program.
Many of our clients live in apartments where they do not have a safe potty area outside away from other dogs. This is not feasible for a puppy that has not completed their vaccines. At 12 weeks of age, they have received another parvo booster and are much safer. They are also less fragile and can go longer between potty breaks.
The socialization focus isn’t on training itself, but centered around letting the puppy “grow up” and prepare them for training. We do practice exercises such as, nap time in crates, introduction to the leash, and manners, but not yet formal training.
We introduce new environments, toys, playtime with kids, other puppies, and Presley, our Capuchin monkey. We also play different sounds in their playroom to get them accustomed to “scary” sounds. Occasionally, we also go for car rides! Time with other puppies close in age also lowers bite inhibition and teaches them to be more respectful of other dogs.
