Please be aware that not all dogs will want to play with each other, so please don’t encourage or force them to.
The dogs will make their own decisions about who they want to play with and there’s plenty of opportunity for solo play with their owners instead.
We will monitor all the dogs behaviour with each other - if we think a dog is struggling with the group environment, we will flag these to the owners.
If for any reason we believe that the play session isn't the right environment for your dog, we explain why and provide a refund or suggest a private session with the cost of your group session as a credit against it.
Please don't be offended if this happens, all dogs are different and sometimes dogs react in a way that is unexpected in a group session.
