Parents stay with their puppies just like at the dog park except that this is inside a heated and cooled building and is being monitored by experienced dog trainers to ensure that each puppy has a safe and positive experience. The trainers will also discuss the canine interactions as they occur, so you will learn more about dog behavior and play styles.
Puppies must have at least one distemper/parvovirus vaccination and proof of vaccinations are required. Obviously, if your puppy is sick (coughing, experiencing diahrrea or lethargy) please DO NOT bring your puppy to a Social until healthy again!

Instructors
Kim Lutz
Kim is the owner of Kim's Canines, a dog trainer and behavior consultant who believes that, just like children, all dogs need to be educated. Kim also believes that "how" we educate matters - therefore at Kim's Canines we use positive reinforcement based protocols and are committed to the principle of LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive). As we all know, good communication is not one-sided, so we teach the "language of dogs" so you can understand some of their body language too. There are many "normal" dog behaviors that upset people due to misunderstanding - we believe in educating, thereby "normalizing" these normal/typical behaviors. Additionally, empowering the animal to be able to make some decisions about their own life and developing a close bond and relationship based on trust and mutual respect, are just a few of the concepts that Kim hopes her clients will take away from her classes.
