Healthy Spot Puppy Social Sunday 7/31/2011
We’re so excited for our very first Puppy Social at Healthy Spot Santa Monica! We’ll have some helpful handouts available to help you with things like crate training and socialization. Our expert team will be on hand to help you out with any questions that you might have, especially in regards to diet and nutrition. We’re very lucky to have Carol Ann Heinis of Life of Riley Dog Training with us as well! She has run Puppy groups just like this for the Humane Society in the past and will be a great resource for you.
For those parents who are interested, we will be opening up our daycare room only for puppies 4 months and younger. This is a great way to get early socialization in a controlled environment with an expert on hand to help you out. If you’d like for your puppy to participate it is important that you bring the vaccination records for your pup that include his/her birthdate and be sure to bring your puppy in with a regular buckle collar. If your puppy has been diagnosed with any communicable ailments (kennel cough, giardia, etc.) we’ll be asking your puppy to skip nose to nose interactions until they’ve been cleared by your vet. You will be required to go into the daycare room with your puppy so that you can learn some good do’s and don’ts with Carol Ann. Depending on the size of the group that we have, we’ll be doing 15-30 min rounds of play in the room per group and then rotate the groups a bit to give the puppies breaks.
Here are a few points to keep in mind:
*Potty your dog prior to playgroup. Feeding your pet after play can reduce the chance of an accident. Play will be stopped while the owner cleans up after their dog’s accident.
*Keep dog on leash while entering the playgroup. All dogs will be let offleash at the same time so wait until the trainer instructs you to do so.
*Prior to play time, make sure to take off your dog’s harness if he/she wears one.
If you have any questions, give us a call at (310) 458-2004.
