Play Groups
Toy Breed Play Group - For dogs over 17 weeks and up to 15 lbs. 
Outdoor Play Group - For dog over 17 weeks (see the Puppy Start Right Programme if your dog is under 17 weeks).
Senior's Social - For older, more sedate dog who would still like to get out for a sniff and wander with like minded friends.
For current or past student dogs.
We meet in Cobble Hill for outdoor play off-leash. Bring a towel and dress for the weather, including boots if it's wet - since this is Vancouver Island, that probably means most of the time!
You should be comfortable with having your dog off leash in an unfenced area, or you can remain in the fenced field or walk your dog on a long line (no flexi leads, please!).
Dogs must be over 17 weeks of age, be happy and relaxed around other dogs and people and have a good recall, or be prepared to spend the hour in a fenced field.
Fee: TBPG - $6 per 1/2 hour. Senior's Social, $5, ODPG $11.50 per hour. All playgroups need to be prepaid please. We have punch cards for sets of 10 playgroups or you can pre-purchase any number from 1 + as you wish.
Sign up online as usual.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about cowichan canine!!! My pup went through the puppy start right and then onto the foundation classes. Stef and Stephanie were fantastic!!! Both classes are well run, organized, they are excellent teachers and spend time with you and your dog. The class sizes are small which makes an excellent learning facility. Stef and Stephanie are patient and kind. The knowledge is second to none. You are able to ask questions and have one on one time as necessary.
Did I mention how clean the facility is...? Holy you'd never know dogs are there all day. We wanted to give our pup his best chance and cowichan canine certainly facilitated that.

Just want to thank you Lisbeth and also Bev and Karen for the excellent training that Lily and I have enjoyed so much. I know Lily has enough for a pass now but we really are aiming for distinction. We are working hard at home as well to see if we can get this. Lily is so improved now. My husband says that in the mornings when he is playing ball off leash with her that she no longer runs at other dogs, she just ignores them now. I noticed when I took her to another trainer in the summer she was always panting and anxious. At Cowichan Canine she is just so happy and cannot wait to get in the door. It is her favourite place so obviously what you are doing is right and the place has great vibes for dogs. She has not reacted to the dogs in the classes either but is always wagging her tail. I am very grateful for this. We will be back in December and want to go onto greater things in advanced and we are both looking forward to it. Going to bring my other dog Cole as well.
