Hi, this is _________________

_________________.
I am calling to remind you that tonight
(or tomorrow night), at
_________________
, Puppy Name is invited to
attend a Puppy Party for fun
play and important early
learning.
Plan
to skip Puppy Name's meal before
the Party. No food for six hours
is ideal. A hungry puppy will
learn faster and have fewer
"accidents" during the party.
Please give
Puppy name an opportunity to
exercise and eliminate outside
just before coming to the party.
If Puppy name shows any signs of
illness, please skip this party
and plan to attend the next one. Hope to see you there. If you cannot attend please let us know
so we can give some other
deserving puppy your space.

¨
Early,
positive puppy
socialization
is one of the best experiences you can
provide your puppy
before 4 months of age.
The puppy's critical
learning period ends at
about 16 weeks of age.
¨
According to experts on dog brain development
,
puppies would ideally
begin to meet new
puppies and dogs
beginning
at about 3 weeks of age,
then new people by 5
weeks of age.
The puppy's natural
development gears them
to accept new
experiences during these
early months of life.
¨
When
puppies aren't given the
opportunity to learn how
to "talk dog" to all
breeds and personalities
during early learning,
as adult dogs they may
lack the social skills
that give them
confidence and the
ability to avoid
conflicts with new dogs.
¨
Early puppy socialization play is for
puppies who do not have
adult canine teeth in
place.
¨
Puppies
attending socialization
play must have at least
one
DVM physical
exam, a negative fecal
test, and one set of
vaccines at least 1 week
before class. Don’t bring the pup if acting sick,
coughing or diarrhea is
present.
¨
We know that many puppies are surrendered
to shelters at 6 months
of age for bad behavior. Our
goal is to provide pet
behavior education and
services that keep
puppies in their homes
long term.
