DOGS AND PEOPLE MAKE LIFE LONG FRIENDS IN THE LUCKY FIDO STUDIO AND YARD.

 PLAYGROUPS & MATCHMAKING

I feel that time with spent with other dogs is the single most important thing we can do for our dogs who like other dogs. Research shows that young dogs and dogs who do love other dogs, need this important outlet to really thrive in their lives with us. Dog Parks are a great option for the dogs and people who enjoy them; as are playgroups. Playgroups are smaller, we selective our players with the intention of putting dogs together who will enjoy each other, and we provide commentary and education as we go!

NOTE THAT:
As dogs mature, they can become more selective or even decide they don’t want to play at all, and that is perfectly okay and normal!

Lucky Fido Playgroups are a great opportunity for you and your dog to make new friends and spend time with old ones while you both develop new skills. You will have the opportunity to learn more about dog body language, what is appropriate and not, how to handle uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situations, improve your ability to call your dog out of play, and become a real devotee of your dogs inner life! Your dog will have the opportunity to play without punishment or corrections, learn how meet and socialize with a variety of dogs, and have a ton of fun!



Puppy Playgroup

OPEN TO PUPPIES UP TO 16 WEEKS OF AGE ON THE FIRST DAY OF PLAYGROUP

During this short developmental period in puppies, well run play with same age group puppies is where social skills are learned. I have been running these playgroups for 8 years and it is still magical to me how much they are learning from each other and how much we can help them develop good play skills that will last a life time!

Playgroup is open to ALL puppies who have had their first round of shots.
**Priority space goes to puppies already registered in our Puppy One - ABCs class, but we are happy to welcome appropriate outside puppies when we have openings!
