Group Socialization

$45/day*

At Maple Leaf K9, we offer a structured socialization program designed to improve and maintain your dog’s social skills in a safe, supportive environment. Our focus is on quality social interaction—not just being an outsourced means of depleting energy. Our program offers a sustainable alternative to high-volume daycare and boarding facilities, providing an intentional and individualized approach to canine socialization.

​

Dogs younger than 8 months are not eligible for this program as they are not developmentally ready for the duration and format. For support with puppy development, set up a free evaluation to discuss your puppy with our training team.

​​​​

Benefits of our program:

  • Dogs participate in small group settings (fewer than 25 dogs)

    • This helps foster positive and manageable associations with socializing.

  • With our recommended recurring bookings, dogs are consistently grouped with familiar faces week to week, which builds comfort, confidence, and stronger social bonds.

  • Social time tailored to each dog's individual needs, from group energy level to duration. 

​

Our ideal social dog is playful but also able to match the energy of the group—active when appropriate, calm when it’s time to settle.

 

We prioritize downtime just as much as play. Our socialization program includes structured rest periods. To ensure the quality of this rest, we require that all dogs are properly crate-trained before entering the program. This ensures each dog has a quiet, secure space to relax between interactions.

​

If you're looking for a thoughtful, well-managed way to help your dog build or maintain strong social skills, Maple Leaf K9’s group socialization program offers exactly that—consistency, structure, and a deep understanding of what true canine social success looks like.

We can't recommend Maple Leaf K9 enough. They have been so welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable with our large newf puppy, and helping to make sure her needs as well as the other dogs around her are met. Their love of dogs is palpable the minute you walk into the facility, and they greet each owner and pup with warmth and respect.​ Our dog has come home each time happy and confident.

Enrichment Add-On ($10/day)

Our enrichment add-on allows owners to supplement their dog’s day in social with a mentally stimulating activity such as supervised food game or a game of tug with our handlers. At the end of the day you will receive a short written report card (with photos) via email detailing your dog’s experience.
