Free Puppy Playgroups? Are there any?

***dogs4life*** · 10-18-2007, 09:14 PM

Hey everyone, I was doing some research on Puppy socialization and I cannot find Free Puppy Playgroups. They all charge ~$12.00 per session. Even SPCA's charge.

Any leads would be appreciated!

None that I know of. I do know that the spca offers the first month after adopting apuppy (from them) free puppy socialization classes, but other than that, nope, it would be nice though, huh?

It would be nice, almost a shame I cannot find anything.

I just figured there would be some, sounds reasonable for a dog professional to offer free classes to the public as a community service or a way to promote their business. I'm just shocked SPCA's and other agencies don't focus more on "free" services for the public, a seems to short of a period for socializing.

I just came across 1 person in Chicago on craigslist looking for people to do a puppy meet-up at her house to socialize her dog without taking it to the dog park.

I would check meetup.com, you can usually find other dog lovers that just want to hang out.
