Force-free Puppy Socialization

your Vancouver puppy playdate facilitators

Our Puppy Socials are designed to build confident, social, well-rounded pups through positive early experiences. With over 5 years of consistently sold-out sessions, they’ve become a go-to for local puppy parents; and a big part of why we’re known as Vancouver’s “puppy trainers.” Each session includes supervised off-leash play, with guidance from experienced trainers to ensure safe, healthy interactions. We maintain a carefully sanitized environment, with all participating puppies health-screened and up to date on vaccinations.

These fun, 30-minute bursts of social time are a great complement to our Puppy Preschool and Puppy Kindergarten programs; or simply a perfect standalone outing for some playful energy and new friendships.
