  • How to teach puppies to be comfortable and enjoy handling
  • Proper Puppy Play
  • Play Signals (and signs they dont want to play)
  • Puppy Body Language

Puppy must have been in your home for AT LEAST 10 days prior to the first social.

The puppy socials with Aimee are amazing. Aimee is so helpful. She's a joy to be around.

Aimee offered so much guidance on socializing a puppy ... plus detailed information on everything from teaching basic commands and potty training to how to prepare the ultimate Kong. And not only were her sessions loaded with information, they were also fun. She’s hilarious and keeps it real.

...a life-saver for me and my pup. Aimee, the trainer, was a delight. She is super knowledgeable and shared loads of facts and science, but was also lots of fun to be around. She struck a great balance
