DePaw Pet Resort

FREE Puppy Socialization Session
2023-11-18 10:00 - 10:45 (America/Chicago) | DePAW Pet Resort, Geneva, 100 S Glengarry Drive, Geneva, IL, United States
If you have a new puppy between 10 weeks and 6 months old, these drop-in socialization sessions are for you! During this free, 45-minute playtime, your puppy will be supervised by a DePAW trainer while interacting with other puppies. These are drop-off play sessions, in order to see how your puppy acts without you around. It will also help your pup build confidence and become comfortable at DePAW before participating in daycare, training, or overnight lodging.
Class minimum: 2 puppies; maximum: 6 puppies

Training: Polite Greetings

Does your dog jump on people when they come to your house? Do they drag you to meet new people or furry friends on walks? This class is for those overly-friendly dogs that need to learn to control themselves when saying hello! We will practice having your dog sit nicely to be petted and learn to be more calm while meeting strangers and/or their dogs. Note: this class does not focus on dog-to-dog interactions, but questions about this will be answered.

These one-hour group walks are a unique experience utilizing our surrounding real-life environments as our training playground! Specifically, they are in-town or park pack walks where a group of dogs, along with their people, go for a working walk together in a structured environment, led by DePAW trainers. These walks can safely and effectively provide your dog with exercise, training, impulse control, and socialization, which makes this a great outlet for ANY dog! While the dogs are walking and exploring, they are also learning to practice self-control, develop social intelligence, and listen to their people in a world with a variety of distractions. It is working and training, but mostly it’s FUN!!

2023-11-08 18:00 - 19:00 | DePAW Pet Resort, Geneva, 100 S Glengarry Drive, Geneva, IL, United States
Do you have a dog that’s shy around new people, nervous about new things? This class is designed to help those shy nervous dogs come out of their shell a bit. We’ll do fun things and play nose and brain games that will help them build confidence so they learn that the things they think are scary aren’t as bad as they thought. You’ll also learn things you can do at home for your dog to help them continue to build that confidence.
Pet parents should be ready to spend time on the floor and most importantly have fun with their dogs!

The Canine Good Citizen (or CGC) test was created by the American Kennel Club to help owners teach their dogs to be well-mannered members of the community. There are 10 parts to this test, including skills such as walking nicely on leash, sitting politely to be petted, coming when called, and being quiet when left with a stranger . In our 4-week CGC class, we will practice for all 10 parts during weeks 1-3, and our CGC-certified evaluator will test you and your dog on week 4. To find out more about the test, check out the AKC’s video in the link below.

Do you want to give your dog the exercise that’s so important for them without having to head out in bad weather? This class is designed to help you introduce your dog to walking/running on a treadmill. Not only is it great exercise during winter months, but running on a treadmill is mentally taxing for dogs too, since they have to use brain power to help keep their legs moving properly and stay on pace with the belt.
