Why does my dog have to be spayed or neutered? An unaltered male is more likely to be dominant and aggressive.  Even if even tempered, he exudes a unique, challenging scent to the others which affects our pack balance.  Unspayed females coming in heat attract suitors from miles away, plus sniffing and humping by our otherwise polite Club dogs.
Isn't 4-1/2 months too early for my puppy to start? She is old enough for vaccine immunities, but young enough to be more of a soaking sponge than a rehab candidate when it comes to manners and behaviors.  We safely broaden her exposures to people, other dogs and places  so she learns that the world is fun, not scary.  Young pups with good experiences mature into much friendlier, less fearful dogs than others, and are less likely to become aggressive.
Is my senior too old to join?  It's never too late to start socializing an older dog.  It takes longer, bu we do our best to help your pooch gain confidence and enjoy a happy time while making sure he doesn't overdo the exertion.
Can my dog wear a body halter or gentle leader instead of a neck collar?
No.  Attaching the leash to the very top of the neck helps us more easily communicate with, guide and correct your dog.  Plus other dogs take great joy in mouthing and hauling the halters and leader straps of their unfortunate friends.
    Will my shy, fearful dog be OK?  Shyness and fear
tend to reflect low confidence.  This is an imbalance which
      can escalate into aggression.  We help your dog become
    more secure and confident.  Every new dog is introduced
the others one-on-one at a stress-free pace until comfortably
mainstreamed.  This process can take from 5 minutes to 5
days, depending on the dog.  Confidence builds from there.
Why do you mind if my dog nips/bites/humps?
While these behaviors may look like play to you, these are forms of dominance as a dog figures out whether he is stronger than another.  They pose injury risks and are corrected in our CLUB.
Can I give you trainer treats to use during the excursions?  NO.  Treats introduce the risk of aggression into our group dynamics (why food is never allowed at dog parks).  We don't bribe with treats, but instead establish desired behaviors by gaining respect as the dogs' leaders.

Not all dogs are happy-go-lucky play mates with others. We'll ask you to make other arrangements if we view your dog as being too dominant, rough or aggressive for safely participating in our group.  This can happen at the start, or down the road as your dog gains confidence and shows his/her "true colors."
