Welcome to Pooch Therapy South

As some of the puppies won’t have their second vaccination, we make it a priority to have the area as sanitised as possible. The floor is mopped with animal-friendly cleaner prior to the pups’ going on it. All of our toys are washed at 90° to kill all the nasties. We ask all participant to take off their shoes before entering the events to prevent the risk of catching any diseases or parasites. Everyone will be asked to sanitise their hands on entrance and exit.

Puppy Welfare Disclaimer

• We ensure puppies get adequate rest between session. We NEVER hold more then 2 sessions per event.
• The breeder of the puppies will always be there to attend to their puppies needs. They watch and manage the behaviour of both their puppies and the participants that handle them.
• Participants will be asked to stay seated on their mat for the whole session.
• We operate a strict over 8 years old policy as most younger children struggle to sit still for an hour and handle the puppies with the extreme care that is needed. The only exception to this is the breeders children or the children of owners of a puppy in session.
• Participants will be asked to leave if their behaviour is deemed inappropriate to the needs of the puppies.
• The puppies always have access to fresh water.
• The breeder will bring their own tyres and blankets to each event.
• The area will be cleaned before each event.
• Shoes will need to be removed and hand sanitiser must be used on entry and exit, unless a breeder deems this unncessary.
• All participants will be briefed on the purpose of the session and what their role is within it (which is to help build the socialisation skills of the puppies within their much wider socialisation training plan).
• The puppies are left to explore the environment and will be able to sleep when and where they decide.
• Any food and drink is served in a separate area.
• Participants are made aware that puppies have sharp teeth and occasionally bite.

Yes, however, it’s our unique style of puppy yoga. Simply relax on a yoga mat whilst playing and cuddling the puppies in any position that works for you and the puppy. There is no need for instructor led pose’s to feel the happiness boost our events create.
