GoodPet's Pooch Playgroup

About GoodPet's Pooch Playgroup

Every Saturday at 3:15pm our dogs get together in a controlled environment at the Holy Family College in Glenwood, for an hour of great fun with pooches of all ages, sizes, and breeds!

Here they learn good park etiquette as well as to socialise with strangers, be they humans or canines. This all under the guidance of Mari Borain, SABCAP qualified and registered Animal Behaviourist and Dog Trainer.

Sometimes it's wet, sometimes its muddy, sometimes it's just the wind in their nostrils, but always GREAT FUN!

Learn correct Dog Park Etiquette / Behaviour and Timeout assistance. We start on lead, and our goal is for off lead play / interaction. However our dogs need to learn to be eloquent on lead and off lead.

Every session is different, so some sessions may be great off - lead play days, and some sessions may end up in Timeouts throughout the session. Please remember this is a learning experience for your dog and for yourself.

Not everyone is suited for Playgroup, so please check with us first.

Playgroup is intended for pups and older dogs. For pups under 8 months old - in private training and still in need of socialising - as is vitally necessary for all young pups, or for pups/older dogs who interact easily with other dogs and humans. For dogs who are already socialised and friendly to other dogs.

If your dog has not been through our courses / classes and you would still like him to join Playgroup, we can look into the suitability. But this will depend on whether he is used to interacting and playing with other dogs outside of his home.
