your dog playdate facilitators

At Dog Socials, we place all the emphasis on playtime for dogs who already know us at Raintown.

This means you’ve already attended at least one in-person Raintown class series and want to come and hang out with us and your favourite class pals for a play.

These quick, 30-minute sessions of fluffy fun can be excellent supplements to our Basic Manners Courses or just one-off fun dates for you and your dog.

*Reminders

The minimum requirements to attend a Raintown Dog Social are that your dog:

1) has attended an in-person class series at Raintown

2) is 5 months or older

3) is spayed/neutered

4) is not dog-reactive.

Please also note: we cannot guarantee perfect play-matches for pups during socials, occasionally a dog’s temperament is not the right fit for the play session.
