Do you have a new puppy? Part of good puppy parenting includes making sure your dog plays well with others–that means humans and other dogs.
PetCo and PetSmart were previously offering free puppy playtimes in their stores, but it looks like these have been discontinued.
Your best bet if you’re looking for free puppy playtimes is to do an internet search for puppy playtimes in your area. I am seeing that some local pet stores and other groups are offering these, but I am no longer finding a national source to direct you to.
You can check out PetSmart and PetCo’s other playtimes and puppy training options below.
Puppy Playtime at PetCo and PetSmart
Petco
PetCo is no longer offering free puppy playtimes according to their website. They are offering training, with various in-store group classes, but there is a fee to participate.
PetSmart
PetSmart appears not to be offering free puppy playtimes as of the time of this writing. They do have doggie daycamps, both half-day and full-day. There is a fee for these playtimes. Head to this page to learn more. Right now, there are offers for special freebies!
You can learn more here about the fun activities your dog can participate in too, like skill enrichment, bubble time, and fun and games!

You said PetSmart but sent a link to PetCo. I was trying to find updated info about this, but the link you attached still says these are cancelled due to COVID restrictions. You should update this article.
