Event Series Event Series (See All)

Socialize your puppy in a safe and controlled environment! In Wayside Waifs’ Puppy Socialization Stations, your puppy will be given the opportunity to explore 10 stations of strategically selected items. We will give them exposure to real-world items at a level that is safe and positive for each individual puppy. Our training methods are based in positive reinforcement also known as reward based training. Before the stations begin, you will get a brief overview of positive reinforcement training and how it best applies to puppy socialization.  Charlotte_WOW_22

Puppies must be between 8 and 15 weeks old on the day of attendance and must also have had a least 2 DA2PP vaccines with the 2nd vaccine being given no less than 4 days prior to attending. Proof of vaccination status is required to participate, so be prepared! When registering online, you can attach an electronic version of their vaccine records.  

This is a drop-in class that runs every Saturday from 1:30 pm-2:10 pm and costs only $10 per class! You can attend one, two, or as many as allows with your puppy’s age and vaccination status!
