Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the parties held?
They are held in my training field, off Christchurch Road in West Parley.
How long are the parties?
Parties are bookable for either 1.5 or 3 hours. If you would like a different length, drop me a message and I’d be happy to discuss your requirements.
What's are the min/max numbers?
Parties are bookable for a 6 dogs and upwards. The maximum depends on the individual dogs, what their temperament is like, whether they all know each other, etc, but it’s usually around 10 dogs. Please drop me a message if you’re interested in holding a party, then we can discuss guest numbers.
Will we need any special equipment?
Nope. All you need is your dog, preferably a well-fitting harness, and a long line.
Some of the guests are nervous/reactive around other dogs and/or people. Can they still take part?
It is possible to work the dogs at a distance from each other so I gladly welcome dogs that may be a bit anxious / uncomfortable around people or other dogs. That being said, a group / party environment may not be suitable for dogs with severe anxiety / reactivity.
Please drop me a message and give me as many details as possible, and I’d be happy to talk things through with you.
Please do make sure that guests use any safety equipment (e.g. a muzzle, lead waist belt, etc.) and a yellow lead / signage where relevant so that I can make sure everyone in the workshop stays safe and comfortable.
Some of the dogs are old / have a disability. Can they still take part?
Yes absolutely. I can adjust the exercises and games to cater for individual dogs’ needs. For example, if there are guests who struggle to jump onto or over obstacles, I can keep the games at ground level.
Please give me as many details as possible when you enquire and I will do everything I can to help all guests feel safe and comfortable throughout the party.
What's the minimum age for taking part?
Dogs of any age are welcome, as long as they’ve had their vaccinations. Where relevant, I can adjust the exercises to cater for your guests’ needs.
What happens if it rains?
Parties will still go ahead if the weather forecast is looking wet. Obviously if the weather is so bad that the ground becomes dangerous, I will get in touch with you to discuss the options.
