This playgroup is a place where dogs of a similar age can interact with each other while developing there social skills through play, a Well-socialised dog usually develops into a safer, more relaxed and enjoyable pet, This is because they're more comfortable in a wider variety of situations than poorly socialised dog, Early socialisation is important because a socialised dog has better coping skills, so they're less likely to behave fearfully or aggressively when faced with something new.
Lack of socialisation can lead to a dog that is afraid of people, new experiences and new places.
Our staff are there to make sure the socialisation is done in a safe and controlled environment this is all done indoors, we also help you with getting a recall while the dogs are distracted, you must stay with your dogs while they play,
If your interested in joining the playgroup contact
