What we’re about

Welcome Puppy Parents!
We hope to help as many puppies as possible receive appropriate socialization and have a blast while doing it! Our focus in this program is a mix of dog:dog play, human socialization, body handling, equipment work, and settle breaks. Each groups runs approximately 45 minutes. Proper socialization means that we closely monitor interactions between the puppies during play to keep play appropriate, and all handlers participate in this with trainer guidance. We slowly introduce new pups in a way that they can feel safe. Our rooms are also set up with interactive equipment to help pups gain confidence on uneven surfaces, build strength, and have a great time!

Here's a peek into what we do: https://youtu.be/g5VVfpqJM_4 \

Cost: There is a box set up in each of the training areas for you to chip in, and these help offset the cost of running the group. The group is approx. $150/hr to put on. Suggested amount to chip in is $15/pup. You can also chip in by following this link and scrolling to bottom of page: https://rockymountaindogtraining.com/products/puppy-socialization

Rules: When registering, please familiarize yourself with the Guidelines for attending which are listed in each event: Vaccination needs, attendance policy etc. We do not tolerate no shows, this violation is a quick way to get banned from our program.

Other Socialization Opportunities at RMDT: Check out our Puppy Day School Program - There are two tracks - Social Puppy and Ultimate Puppy. Social Puppy is a great option for those who want thorough professional socialization beyond what we can offer in this group, or for those pups who are a bit more fearful and need extra support and professional guidance. The Ultimate Puppy Program includes training, 2 private transfer of knowledge sessions, and weekly video tutorials on top of socialization. https://rockymountaindogtraining.com/pages/puppy-day-school
