I have teamed up with Brooklyn Yard Vet to offer structured, trainer-led puppy socialization classes. Please read the following information carefully:

Who: 

Puppies up to 20 weeks who have had their first round of vaccinations.

What:

We are offering drop-off puppy socials. Two trainers will work directly with a maximum of 6 puppies per class. Focus will be on developing appropriate play skills and building confidence. Classes are 1 hour and cost $25.

When:

 Wednesdays and Sundays

2 pm – small puppy social – puppies who weigh less than 20 pounds

4 pm – large puppy social – puppies who weigh more than 20 pounds

Where:

Brooklyn Yard Vet / 1280 SE Holgate Blvd Portland OR 97202 (map)

Why:

The critical socialization period during puppy development occurs from roughly 5–16 weeks. This is the time to safely and positively expose puppies to all sorts of new and unfamiliar people, other dogs and animals, sights, sounds, surfaces, etc. Social distancing has made this difficult! Let trained professionals do some of the work for you.

The fine print:

• Wait outside with your puppy. DO NOT ENTER THE CLINIC. We will come out wearing masks and bring your puppy into the clinic. After class is over, we will bring your puppy out to you.
• First round of vaccines is REQUIRED. Please email a copy of your vaccine record to hannah@pupstartraining.com or bring it with you to the clinic.
• There will be no refunds unless cancelled 24 hours prior to class (exceptions always made for health concerns).
• The clinic will be completely sanitized before and after each class.
• If your puppy is showing any sign of sickness, including diarrhea, vomiting, or coughing, they CANNOT attend class. Please email hannah@pupstartraining.com or call 216-466-1626 to cancel.
• If you are showing any sign of sickness, please have a healthy family member drop off and pick up your puppy.
