Doggy Playtime
This weekly class, held every Sunday, is a supervised environment for dogs to learn and develop their social skills, or to just give them an opportunity to run around with other dogs in a safe and clean environment. Owners will learn about dog-to-dog interactions. It is a great alternative to the Dog Park, and a portion of the fees assist the SPCA of Tompkins County.
Cost:
- $60 for 6 consecutive sessions ($30 for SPCA Alumni)
- $80 for 10 consecutive sessions ($50 for SPCA Alumni)
