More about the Playtime class:

Small Dog Playtime may not appropriate for all dogs, even those who are fine at daycare or off leash parks. This is because adolescents are developing their social skills and preferences and may behave differently in an enclosed space than they do on walks or during one-on-one play.

Small Dog Playtime begins with attention exercises to get your teen to focus on you while the Ahimsa trainers group the puppies. Puppies are grouped by play style to keep the shy puppies from being overwhelmed and to keep the more outgoing puppies engaged. Ahimsa trainers moderate play as needed, and teach you how to moderate your pup’s play. Pups take several training breaks in class to build attention and lower arousal in a distracting environment.

*Swapping Classes: Small Dog Playtimes can be rescheduled (swapped). When you register, you can select reservation dates which guarantee your puppy a spot on that day.

You can manage your own schedule on our website and swap your reservation(s) with other class dates during your enrollment period. If there’s a class reservation that you can’t make or a date you want to change, login to View & Swap Sessions. Watch the How to Swap video here. You can swap up to 1 day in advance online. By phone or email, we need at least 2 days in advance of your reservation to process your request. If you don’t unreserve or swap the class that you can’t attend, the class is forfeit.

This class includes a free dog training clicker and an instant download of our 100+ page Ahimsa Dog Training Manual. You can also purchase a hard copy at the Ahimsa Training Center. Click here for more information on our Ahimsa puppy classes in Seattle.
