What to Expect in a Puppy Socialisation 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 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.
  • Relax and Connect – Enjoy a relaxed environment where you can chat with fellow owners.
  • 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.
