For pups up to 8 months
Puppy Socials
Giving your puppy the best start isn’t just about meeting other dogs — it’s about building confidence, resilience, and positive experiences in a safe, supportive environment. Our new Puppy Socials are designed and run by a Qualified Behaviourist, IMDT Trainer and Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor, so you and your pup are supported every step of the way.
Puppy Groups
We run two Puppy Socials groups based on age so your pup is with others at a similar stage of development:
• 13 weeks – 4 months
• 5 months – 8 months
We also run a tiny tots puppy class which is specifically for tiny breeds of dog. This class is for pups between 13 weeks and 8 months.
Once your puppy is over 8 months, they can move on to our dog play sessions, which are based on breed size (small, medium, and large).
What to Expect
each session begins calmly, with puppies on-lead. This helps them become aware of the other pups while feeling secure with their families. From there, they’re free to explore our enrichment areas at their own pace.
Our new activities include:
• Sensory exploration – different textures to sniff and walk across such as straw, bark, mats, soft play, sandpit and ball pool.
• New experiences – a sensory tent with quiet background sounds (such as fireworks, only introduced once pups are settled).
• Fun activities – bubble machine and interactive play.
• Street life corner – cones, hi-vis jackets, umbrellas and more, helping your pup learn about everyday sights and sounds.
Off-Lead Play
If the group is comfortable, we may include an off-lead play session. This is closely monitored by owners and overseen by me.
• We encourage turn-taking and fair play.
• If a puppy becomes over-excited or fixates on one friend, we pause, pop them back on lead for a short break, and redirect them before resuming play.
Everything is about building confidence gradually, reassuring your pup that they can explore the world without pressure, and always with the comfort of their family nearby.
