New Social
Activities for dogs and their people! Introducing “Yappy
Hour!”
We now host “Yappy Hour” every
Saturday from 4:15pm-5:45pm in our daycare space. All breeds are welcome to the party! It is however essential
that your dog be socially appropriate in the group setting.
This means no aggressive dogs or dogs displaying
inappropriate behaviors such as excessive barking, toy
possessiveness, humping, or play that is too dangerous for
all of the attendees will be allowed. The introductory fee
will remain $3.00 per dog and we will have staff members on
site to assist with the play activities. We ask that
you sign in at the front desk and plan on having your pass
stamped by the Yappy Hour Host(ess) or show your receipt.
We will continue to honor the fun run cards until July 31,
2008. August 1st, we will offer a new pass and the
admission will increase to $4 per pup...humans free!
For the
people attending we offer refreshments, training tips
and even games and prizes! This is fun for your dog
and YOU!
We are no
longer offering breed specific fun runs, but we do offer
several classes for specific breeds and sizes. Please review
our class listings for more information on our new Saturday
classes!

Yappy Hour attendees must adhere to the
rules or will be asked to leave without refund. It is
important that you understand that our staff are canine
professionals and have a good grasp on dog communication skills and
behaviors. They may point out a behavior and ask you to manage
it. Failure to respectfully comply with our staff's requests
will result in asking you to leave Yappy Hour. In addition,
there is no smoking on Great Dog's campus, a no aggression policy,
and owners must pick up after their dog(s). To be neighborly,
dogs that are
noisy will be asked to leave. Owners must also remain on the
play floor during the Yappy Hour event and monitor their dog's
behavior.
Groups of 6 or more dogs (ie meetup.com groups) must
make arrangements a minimum of one week in advance and are held to
the same standards as our Yappy Hour. Please
make arrangements M-F from 10am -4pm by emailing Julie.
No outside vendors or merchandising is
permitted at Great Dog's fun
runs, Yappy Hour or on our campus. This includes breed specific collars,
coats, all treats, jewelry, etc. Those individuals or
groups not adhering to this policy will be asked to leave without
refunds.
Puppy Play Times!
Great Dog
offers a regular "Puppy Playtime" sessions
each Saturday from 3-4pm. Puppy Playtime is for puppies ages 9 weeks to 5
months.
These
sessions are not designed to replace the four-week Puppy Steps
class, but to enhance your puppy’s exposure to alternative & new
experiences. These sessions serve as socialization opportunities to
play and learn. Great Dog is developing a core group of
volunteer "Puppy Socialites" that will assist in introducing your
puppy to different people, smells and textures. This program is
modeled after Dr. Ian Dunbar's tips on socializing puppies. Instructors
will be on hand, provided there are 3 or more puppies to provide structure, games and will be on hand to answer your additional question about
life with your puppy! These sessions serve as excellent preparation
for Puppy Steps or Basic Obedience. To join us for the Puppy Play
Times, please swing by our front counter (if you need to pay with a
credit card) or bring cash/check to our Main Training Space
(Daycare), check in at in the Shoppe.
Cost:
$3 per puppy
*When
you enroll in one of our Puppy Steps obedience classes you will
receive one
coupon to attend one Puppy Playtime sessions of your choice at no
cost.
