Puppy Socialization – Free

Puppy socialization session is a valuable opportunity for your puppy to develop critical social skills in a safe and controlled environment. Early socialization helps puppies build confidence, learn appropriate play behavior, and reduce fear or anxiety around new experiences, people, and other dogs. Exposure to different sights, sounds, and interactions at a young age sets the foundation for a well-adjusted, friendly, and well-mannered adult dog. Plus, it’s a fun way for your puppy to burn energy while learning important life skills!

What they say about us

Tara Nestleroad

My dog recently had a week long stay here while we were on vacation, and it was a great experience! She was well cared for, and got to socialize with the other dogs every day during daycare. We had never boarded a dog before and were nervous about it, but the photo updates were very reassuring. Will definitely return!

Peggy Cut-right

The Dog Patch is an excellent pet care and boarding facility. I did a lot of research before leaving my very shy rescue lab, Carmen, for a week while I traveled for work. The Dog Patch staff took exceptional care of Carmen and made sure she felt loved while separated for the first time from her family. The facility is clean and well-maintained and the staff's attention to detail with each pet is evident. I highly recommend The Dog Patch!

Chanel Herrington

This is the BEST place for your pets needs! I’ve been bringing my dog here about a year now and he loves it!! They greet him by name every time! They are pet people and it shows! My favorite part is the cute photos they send when my baby stays overnight. Thank you so much, as always we’ll be back soon!
