Puppy Therapy, Cuddles and Social Play Experience

Puppy therapy offers a unique and uplifting experience designed to support both human wellbeing and early puppy development. Operating across the East Midlands, West Midlands, and South Yorkshire, these carefully curated sessions bring together the joy of spending time with playful pups and the proven benefits of animal-assisted therapy.

Participants are invited to relax and connect with a litter of affectionate puppies in a calm, nurturing environment. From wagging tails to warm cuddles, every moment is designed to soothe the mind and lift the spirit. Scientifically proven to reduce stress and increase serotonin and dopamine levels, puppy therapy helps promote a sense of happiness, calm, and emotional wellbeing.

These sessions are equally important for the puppies, who are at a crucial stage of development before they leave for their forever homes. Through positive interactions with new people and environments, the puppies gain confidence, resilience, and valuable social skills. Each event plays a key role in helping them grow into well-adjusted adult dogs.

Perfect for those in need of a little pick-me-up or looking for thoughtful gifts for dog lovers, a puppy experience offers a meaningful way to share in the magic of these early weeks. No pet ownership required, just the simple pleasure of puppy therapy at its best.

What is Puppy Therapy?

Puppy Therapy is a calming and joyful experience spent with a group of friendly, playful puppies. It’s ideal for dog lovers who can’t have a pet at home or anyone in need of a mood boost. The session offers plenty of cuddles, cuteness, and connection, while also helping the puppies build their confidence through gentle social interaction.

What breeds will be there?

The breed of puppies attending each event is typically announced a few weeks in advance. All breeders involved are carefully selected, with strong, trusted relationships in place to ensure the highest standards of care. As the wellbeing of the puppies is always the top priority, final event details may occasionally change, and specific elements cannot be guaranteed.

Are children welcome?

Children aged 8 and over are welcome to attend, however they must be accompanied by a paying adult.

What are the benefits for the puppies?

The puppies gain vital early socialisation skills by safely interacting with new people in a calm, structured environment. This helps build their confidence, reduces fear of unfamiliar situations, and supports their development into well-adjusted adult dogs. 

What are the benefits for participants?

Participants experience a boost in serotonin and dopamine, leaving them feeling relaxed, uplifted, and in a much better mood after spending time with the dogs.

Where do the puppies come from?

The breeders involved are ethical, licensed, and genuinely caring owners. They usually reach out prior to the birth of their puppies to collaborate on an early socialisation plan that benefits both the puppies and their future families. The crucial window for developing social skills is between 3 and 12 weeks of age. 

Sessions usually begin around the 8-week mark, once the puppies have had their first jab and some gentle exposure in smaller, more controlled settings. All puppies are healthy and have been thoroughly checked by a vet.
