Socialization is key during a puppy's development, but it's so hard to find other dogs in their age group outside of formal puppy socialization classes. This group was created so Boston-area puppy owners can get together with their young pups (and young children too!) to make sure that our puppies will grow up to be well-adjusted and comfortable in a variety of social situations. We can meet in local parks, or even member's yards, depending on who's interested.... It'll be fun!

The NYC Dowtown Puppy Social is designed to provide a safe and healthy place for young puppies to play and socialize while building their Puppy Play Skills. Parents can share tips about Puppy health and training.
