For dogs 4 months or older that are both people- and dog-friendly.

Join other small dogs and their people for an hour of social time. Dog play increases social skills and provides lots of exercise and fun for the small dog crowd!
We define “small” dog as approximately 35 pounds or less. Also, consider your dog’s personality in choosing to attend dog social. Group play can be overwhelming or overstimulating for some dogs.
Please bring vaccination records. We require an up-to-date DHPP and rabies. Bordetella is strongly recommended for your dog’s best protection, but not required.
Tuition: $10 per dog (max $20 per family), per visit – humans free!
NOTE: buy four socials, get the fifth FREE!
