Real Client Stories
Hear from guardians whose puppies started their journey with Puppy Socials.
Started with Puppy Socials
An anxious new puppy with no social experience and overwhelmed first-time guardians.
Grew from anxious puppy to confident adolescent through socials and group classes. Guardians gained parenting confidence.
“Prime Paw has been an invaluable resource in my dog’s journey from anxious puppy to confident adolescent. The socials and group classes are a blast for our pup and a great crash course in parenting for my partner and me. Everyone at Prime Paw clearly loves what they do!”
Started at 10 weeks old
A nervous 10-week-old puppy who needed confidence and socialization.
Quickly became socialized through day school and socials. The family built training confidence through group classes and the Adolescent Academy.
“Give Primepaw a try! Our nervous 10-week-old puppy Rita quickly became socialized after joining puppy day school and socials. The Puppy’s First Steps group class was fantastic for building our own training confidence. The Adolescent Academy with Steph, Rosa, and Joanne was also outstanding!”

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before booking Puppy Socials.
No! That’s what makes Puppy Socials special. We welcome puppies who are still completing their vaccination series. Our facility is sanitized to hospital-grade standards between every session, and we require health screenings for all attendees to keep your under-vaccinated pup safe.
Puppy Socials is designed for puppies aged 8 to 18 weeks. This is the critical socialization window when positive social experiences have the biggest impact on your puppy’s lifelong behavior. If your puppy is fully vaccinated and over 18 weeks, our Puppy Kindergarten program is the next step.
Puppy Socials sessions are $25 per session. Each session is 1 hour long with a maximum of 6 puppies. You can book individual sessions — no package commitment required.
Each 1-hour session includes supervised play with age-matched puppies, real-time body language coaching for guardians, play style assessments, and a debrief at the end with personalized tips. Our certified trainers guide every interaction to ensure positive experiences.
We limit each session to a maximum of 6 puppies. This ensures every puppy gets individual attention from our trainers and that interactions stay safe and productive. Puppies are matched by age, size, and temperament.
Bring your puppy on a flat collar or harness with a standard leash, and their vaccination records. We provide treats, water, and all necessary equipment. Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll be on the floor learning alongside your pup!
Once your puppy is fully vaccinated and over 18 weeks, they can graduate to our Puppy Kindergarten program for structured day sessions, or join Group Classes for continued learning. Our team will recommend the best next step based on your puppy’s progress.
