The Dogborhood
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DOGBORHOOD
The Dogborhood offers curated playgroups for dogs. Playgroups are weekday mornings from 9AM-12PM, with drop-off. Dogs enjoy playing with each other, toys, and treats in a fully fenced yard, and play is guided to improve behavior and obedience skills. Groups are curated based on age, size, and confidence. Each group of dogs meets weekly.
​
More than six years ago, I began facilitating puppy playgroups at my home. I became a certified trainer through Animal Behavioral College in 2018, and passed the national CPDT-KA dog training exam in 2021. I have spent countless hours learning from expert trainers in group classes, as well as from behaviorists at the shelter. Puppy socialization is my passion, and fortunately my 3 kids and 2 dogs are great assistants!
