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).
NOTE: We have a special play group for the little guys, our Toy Breed Social!
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!

I adopted an adult dog and had no idea what I was getting into. The dog was terrified of everything, seemed as if she had never been walked on a leash, and hid from everyone. I called Cowichan Canine for help and Lisbeth came over that very day. With her gentle guidance, my dog is gaining confidence and I am feeling hopeful that I can help this dog to become a happy friend. I am very thankful for all the support I have received.

I have taken my Pembroke Welsh Corgi through Puppy Classes, The Foundation Programme, Starters Agility and we are now in Advanced Agility. The overall results have been excellent. Reba is now competing at Agility Trials and will soon move from Starters there to Advanced. Lisbeth, Bev, and Karen helped immensely along the way, but Reba's Agility success is solely due to Jody. She is amazing in so many ways - knowledgeable, patient, able to adapt her communication to different clients at different levels beautifully, and so much more. She is encouraging and Reba runs to see her when we attend class. A big Paws Up to Jody and CC.
