Puppy Club - Puppy Socialisation Sessions
Puppy Club at Smart Dog Academy is a 90-minute puppy socialisation event held on the second and fourth Friday of each month at Winnersh Community Centre. Run by two IMDT Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy qualified instructors, this event offers a safe, well-managed environment where puppies can socialise and play under close supervision. During off-lead play sessions, instructors narrate body language, helping owners understand and recognise puppy behaviour. Decompression zones are available, allowing puppies to take breaks and relax as needed. Refreshments are provided for owners, making it a wonderful opportunity to meet other local puppy owners and build connections. Puppy Club is suitable for puppies under six months old who are fully vaccinated.
