SOCIAL HOUR - Open Play Times
Especially puppies enjoy socializing and playing freely with other dogs. Quite a few adult dogs stay playful and love coming to our 'dog park'.
Why come to us and pay money when you can meet dogs elsewhere for free?
Ten good reasons to come to BetCo for dog play:
1) We are very strict about only allowing properly vaccinated and dewormed dogs - we want to see proof! That makes it possible
for younger puppies to come before their vaccination series is finished.
2) Our play groups are divided by age and temperament. You can come with your 10lbs dog to play with other dog's THAT size. Currently we have three groups: Up to about 20lbs, 30-50lbs and 60+ lbs.
3) It's comfortable! We're indoors in the winter and when weather gets too rough in the summer. Otherwise we'll be in a fenced field on grass.
4) We have two supervisors that ensure proper play and will intervene where needed. They'll help you set up a 'safety zone' for your timid dog until she's more confident interacting with the other dogs.
5) You'll learn what is acceptable play and what should be discouraged and how. You can take this knowledge with you when going to a dog park later.
6) We will dismiss dogs (without prejudice) when they are bullying to much or become aggressive. Some perfectly nice dogs just don’t work out in a play group. This helps the more timid dogs to come out of their shell.
7) There's often time to ask a behavioral question to Claudia, the certified professional dog trainer and owner.
8) You'll get to practice the recall under the supervision and guidance of our trainers.
9) You might find helpful training tools and books you can purchase right at the spot. (We do take credit cards, too)
10) You and your dog can get to know your future class room!
