• Please arrive 5–10 minutes early so your dog has time to settle.

• Cath will meet you outside to say hello, check your dog in and answer any quick questions.

• You’ll stay with your dog throughout the visit – you’re part of the experience too!

• Dogs are introduced calmly outdoors before entering the play space.

• For indoor sessions, dogs greet outside, then move into the playground once everyone’s settled.

• For outdoor field sessions, introductions happen inside the secure field.

• Dogs are allowed to sniff and say hello at their own pace – this helps them feel relaxed and ready to play.

• You are responsible for your own dog only – we don’t expect you to manage the whole group.

• Your main job is to watch your dog, stay aware, and enjoy seeing them explore and play.

• You’re welcome to chat to other owners, take photos and soak up the happy dog energy.

• Our sessions are designed for friendly, sociable dogs who enjoy being around other dogs.

• Dogs must be:

• Comfortable off lead around other dogs

• Non-reactive and non-aggressive

• Happy in a lively, playful environment

• Our sessions are not suitable for:

• Nervous, shut-down or overwhelmed dogs

• Dogs with reactivity or aggression towards dogs

• Dogs who are uncomfortable in group settings

• Owners seeking behaviour or obedience training

• If at any point we feel a dog isn’t suited to group play, we’ll speak with you kindly and may ask to end their session for everyone’s safety and wellbeing.

• As with any dog activity, there’s always some level of risk – but our groups are small, well-managed and attended by responsible, thoughtful owners who want the best for their dogs.

Every session is overseen by an experienced dog professional who monitors play, supports positive interactions and steps in when needed.

• Groups are kept small so dogs don’t get overwhelmed:

• Small–Medium: up to 8 dogs (roughly up to Cocker Spaniel size)

• Medium–Large: up to 8 dogs (any size, for dogs who enjoy bigger, bouncier play)

• Breed Meets: usually 8–10 dogs, depending on the session

• Our focus is always on safe, happy, matched play.

• Every dog grows at their own pace, but with regular sessions you may see:

• Better dog-to-dog social skills

• More confidence in new environments

• Healthier ways to burn off energy

• Calmer behaviour at home after sessions

• Friendships with familiar dogs they see regularly

• A weekly “highlight” that supports their emotional wellbeing

• Think of it as a playground and social club for dogs – not just exercise, but fulfilment.

• At the end of each session:

• We bring dogs back on lead and finish with a free Puppuccino (light dairy whipped cream).

• It’s safe for most dogs as an occasional treat, but if your dog has a dairy intolerance or allergies, please let us know and we’ll skip or adapt it.

• Most dogs quickly learn this is their favourite part of the ritual!

Sessions last around 45 minutes.

• At about 40 minutes, dogs are calmly brought back on lead and given their Puppuccino.

• After that, it’s time to head home for a well-earned nap and a peaceful few hours for you.

If your dog enjoyed their session (and most do!), you can:

• Book your next play session

• Or explore our monthly memberships for guaranteed spots, savings and a regular wellbeing routine

Many owners find that weekly play helps their dogs become more confident, balanced and socially fulfilled.
