The pups are having even more fun the more often they come, so let’s carry on giving our dogs the social life they deserve — and we humans miss having! Here are the scheduled playdate times and days for the month of May.
Based on the current dog attendance, I have loosely defined the groups according to the time slots below. However there is flexibility and some pups come on alternate weeks, so these groupings made be modified as we proceed.
Wednesdays 5:00 pm – May 5, 12, 19, 26
For the Sprinters – best for dogs that like to run and chase with not as much body contact
Fridays 9:30 am – May 7, 14, 21, 28
NEW SPOT – this new group is just coming together, so best for new members
Sundays 10:00 am – May 9, 16, 23, 30
For the Littles – best for small breed dogs under 15 lbs, shy dogs, young puppies
Sundays 11:30 am – May 9, 16, 23, 30
For the Wrestlers – best for dogs that like paws-on play, adolescent dogs, high energy dogs
Note that I do pre-screen each dog and provide ongoing feedback to pet parents with regards to their dogs participation in playdates. For instance, a formerly shy dog that has achieved more confidence may be moved into a group with higher energy to ensure social progress. Additional group times and / or 2 dog pairings may be added to accommodate specific dog socialization or enrichment goals.
Yours in springtime romps,
