SOCIALIZATION PROGRAMS
SOCIALIZATION
Tuesday - Friday 8am -6pm
In this program, we teach appropriate dog-to-dog and dog-to-human behavior and communication. Dogs are selected for specific groups to increase their comfort and enjoyment. Our socialization team is trained to read dog behavior and create safe and enjoyable experiences for all of the dogs. Their goal is to keep playgroups manageable and make sure dogs are having fun while they learn. Specific commands such as “out” and “off” are taught to develop manners, assist dogs in understanding canine communication, and maintain safety.
VIP (VERY IMPORTANT PUP) PROGRAM
At Ruff Life we are committed to providing opportunities for all dogs to partake in various activities while meeting them where they are. Our VIP program creates smaller groups for dogs with specific needs to socialize safely. These flexible playgroups are carefully chosen by considering the factors that will lead to the greatest success and safest interactions. This program offers a balance of play, rest, training, and enrichment. Because the VIPs receive a lower dog-to-staff ratio, availability is limited but pricing is the same as standard socialization.
