SOCIALIZATION
A word that every puppy and dog owner has heard countless times, but what is it really?
Aside from popular belief, meeting other people and dogs is only about 10% of early puppy socialization.
In puppy pre-school we will focus on exposure, composure, and confidence building around the seemingly never ending sounds, sights, smells, and surfaces of our bustling society.
On top of typical puppy topics like potty, crate, and exercise schedules we will set your pup up for success as they discover the world alongside you, setting a strong foundational bond that will last a lifetime!

INTRO TO BARN HUNT
New Sessions announced soon!
Barn Hunt is the new and quickly growing dog sport catching fire across the country! Barn Hunt is based on the traditional roles of many breeds in ridding farms, barns, crop storage areas, and homes of destructive vermin. Some breeds were specifically created to fill this role, and for many of those breeds, Barn Hunt provides their first true opportunity for responsible breeders to test proper working traits in their dogs. Barn Hunt is also open to any dog of any breed or mix who wishes to play the game and can fit through an 18" wide by bale-height tall tunnel. Barn Hunt can be played just for fun, but for those who are competitive, it also has titles, levels of increasing difficulty, and championships. Barn Hunt is an independent sport, but titles are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the United Kennel Club (UKC), and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).
At no time does the handler or dog come into contact or even see the pet rats that are used, so don't worry if you aren't a fan! Barn Hunt is committed to creating a safe and fun sport for dogs, that also holds rat care at the highest level of consideration. The rats used in Barn Hunt are beloved family pets. They jump eagerly into their safe, comfortable aerated tubes and truly enjoy interacting with the dogs.
We're a great sport for older dogs, and older people too! Tripod dogs can compete, and so can deaf dogs. We hope you try it, we think you'll like it!
