Puppy Socials With A Difference! Social Exposure Sessions in Cottingley – Serving Shipley, Bingley, Baildon and Bradford.
Join a puppy social with a difference. Socialisation isn’t just about puppy play, learning to experience the world while on-lead is just as important. When you puppy is at ease on their lead, walks and outings become more enjoyable for both you and your puppy.
- A fun, stress-free space for both you and your puppy.
- Opportunities to build social skills in a controlled setting.
- Help your puppy to navigate new sights, sounds, and situations with confidence.
- Explore the different obstacles with your puppy, supporting their balance, coordination, and body awareness.
What to Expect in a Puppy Social Exposure Class:
This is not a structured lesson-based class, but rather relaxed social time designed to help puppies acclimate to their surroundings in a controlled yet informal setting. You can enjoy the opportunity to chat with other puppy owners, enjoy some complimentary biscuits and your puppy can enjoy new experiences, in a supportive setting.
- Positive Social Interactions – Puppies remain on-lead to encourage relaxed, positive interactions without overexcitement, frustration or overwhelm. They can observe, greet, and adjust to other puppies at their own pace, developing a balanced response to new experiences and other puppies.
- Everyday Life Skills – Sessions introduce safe, controlled elements of real-world environments, helping your puppy adjust to urban sights, sounds, and novel experiences in a stress-free way.
- Boost Balance, Coordination & Body Awareness – Enjoy a selection of activity stations designed to help your puppy feel more physically confident, coordinated, and reduce the risk of injury.
- Husbandry & Handling Station – Gentle, positive introductions to common handling and grooming experiences, ensuring your puppy learns to stay relaxed during vet visits, grooming, and home care.
- Relax and Connect – Enjoy a relaxed environment where you can chat with fellow owners and enjoy complimentary biscuits.
- Your Puppy Sets The Pace - Whether your puppy is keen to explore every station or prefers to observe from a distance, they can engage as much, or as little, as they like. With plenty of rest areas available, your puppy can take a break whenever they need to, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience.
