Puppy Socialization At Petco

One of the most challenging tasks as a dog owner is to properly socialize your dog. If your puppy is naturally shy or skittish a puppy socialization class is a great way to go.

Petco Puppy Socialization Classes


One of the best ways to exercise your dog is by having a play session. Petco Pet Stores offers free puppy socialization classes. Petco has stores located all over the United States. It builds their tolerance of other dogs and gives the owner a sense of how well your dog can adjust in unfamiliar situations.

It's a great way for your dog to be social and will be a good base to build upon when your take it to other places like parks, beaches and campgrounds. Homer, Cookie and Gigi seemed to enjoy this and I learned quite a bit about his interactions in a controlled environment. He seems to like his room and is better suited for a dog park or the local dog beach.

If you would like to see if Petco offers a puppy socialization class in your area, you'll want to check out their store locator.

    1. Sometimes it takes awhile for the word to get out. Another good way to meet other puppies your dog's age is to go through meetup.com.

  3. Today while the main format of the bricks are the same,
    Lego has turned the product from a simple toy to versatile
    sets that can be mixed together to create stunning designs.

    With all of the technological advances made by
    toy makers and manufacturers, the word "toy" means something completely different than
    it did to the past generations. The characters included are Rebel pilot Zev Sensca and
    three Rebel Troopers wearing cold weather clothing and Hoth helmets and they'll help you defend the hidden Rebel base on ice planet Hoth against the attack of the Empire.
