Puppy Social
2026-07-10
Have a puppy under 12 months old? Bring them to Canine Cardio for Puppy Social, a special on-leash meet-up designed to help young dogs experience the world in a safe, positive way.
This event is open to puppies of any breed under one year old. Puppyhood is such an important time for confidence building, social exposure, and learning how to behave around new dogs, new people, and new environments.
Puppy Social gives young dogs the chance to observe, sniff, explore, and interact in a structured setting without the chaos of an off-leash free-for-all. It is a great opportunity for puppies to practice leash manners, build confidence, and learn that being around other dogs can be calm and positive.
Pet parents will also have the chance to meet other puppy owners who are going through the same training stages, questions, and puppy chaos.
Puppy Social Event Details
All puppies must remain on leash. RSVP is required. This meet-up is for dogs under 12 months old. Puppies should be current on age-appropriate vaccines and healthy enough to attend a group setting.
