Welcome toPooch Therapy

We announce the breed of the puppies a few weeks before all events. We have a very close relationship with all the breeders that we work with and we will always put the puppies' needs first. Due to putting the needs of the puppies first we can never guarantee the exact details of the event advertised will take place.

As some of the puppies won’t have their second vaccination so 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 participants to take off their shoes before entering the event to prevent the risk of catching any diseases and parasites. Everyone will be asked to sanitise their hands on entrance and exit.

Puppy Welfare Disclaimer

• We ensure puppies get adequate rest between sessions. We NEVER hold more than 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 length of the 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 breeder's children or the children of owners of a puppy in the 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 toys 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 unnecessary.
• The room temperature is always considered and will be adjusted during the session if necessary.
• 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 can 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 poses to feel the happiness boost our events create.
