All Dogs Go To Erinn
Dog Behaviour and Training
The Puppy Social Club
A small, instructor-led group where your puppy can interact with others in a safe, controlled environment — with guidance to ensure those interactions are positive, appropriate, and actually helpful for their development.
Suitable for puppies who are fully vaccinated up to 1 year of age.
This isn’t a free-for-all play session.
Puppy Social Club is a guided social experience, designed to help your puppy learn how to interact with other dogs in a calm and appropriate way.
I’ll be there throughout to:
-
support interactions between puppies
-
help you read your puppy’s body language in real time
-
step in where needed to prevent overwhelm or overexcitement
The goal isn’t to tire your puppy out, but to give them good quality social experiences that actually build confidence and social skills.
Puppies will have the opportunity to interact with both other puppies and appropriate adult dogs, helping them learn:
-
how to approach and disengage
-
how to respond to different play styles
-
how to settle around other dogs
Why this matters (and why I'm running it)
I’ve put this together because there’s a real gap between taking your puppy home and actually starting proper training. And in that time, a lot of puppies either get zero interaction with other dogs — or they only meet them in chaotic, uncontrolled ways. That’s where bad habits start.
This is a space where your puppy can learn how to be around other dogs, without losing their mind. Yes, there’ll be free play. Yes, there’ll be toys. But we’ll also be working on the stuff that actually helps you out in the real world — like getting your dog to tune in to you, even when other puppies are flying around. Building focus. Learning how to play and pause. That’s the gold dust.
It’s for puppies who need to burn off steam, but also need to start building some impulse control — in a safe, friendly environment, with me there to guide it.
This isn’t chaos. It’s socialisation with a purpose.

If your puppy or dog is very nervous, easily overwhelmed, or reactive around other dogs or people, a one-to-one session may be a more appropriate starting point. If you’re unsure which session would be the best fit, please feel free to get in touch.
