Play Groups
Cowichan Canine offers a variety of playgroups where dogs can socialize, play and interact with other carefully vetted dogs, all under the watchful eye of one of our qualified instructors.
Playgroups are open to dogs that are, or have been, active in our classes or private training programmes. Dogs must be over 17 weeks of age, be happy and relaxed around other dogs and people and have a good recall (those dogs who are in the unfenced area).
A qualified instructor will always attend, to keep an eye on interactions and advise when help is needed.
Most playgroups are outdoors, so dress for the weather and bring a towel to wipe your dog off aftewards, in case it's wet or muddy - since this is Vancouver Island, that probably means most of the time!

Both Carmella and I had a great time in the Puppy Start Right program and we are amazed every day at how much difference both the program and its philosophy have made for our pup. Thanks again to you and Laurie!!!

Our little Frenchton, Blaze, graduated from the Foundations class today with Honours. The training we received was top notch, excellent quality, and fun. We appreciated the often humorous comments thrown into our training from Karen and Stephanie, as well as the clear, easy to understand aspects of this training program. We have already introduced Blaze to Scent Detection and Agility and will continue on with these in the fall. We truly appreciate the care and commitment our instructors gave in the training of our Blaze, and of ourselves! Who knew we had so much to learn, too! :) Thank you, Karen and Stephanie! We will definitely be referring others to Cowichan Canine.
