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!

We brought our dog to Cowichan Canine to help us better support his socialization and were very happy with actionable advice and info we received through the Behavioural Evaluation and subsequent private lessons. We saw swift and lasting results! Thanks so much!

Lisbeth is one of a handful of individuals that we have worked with who intuitively understand how dogs work and think. Her classes, program organization, library and newsletter are outstanding.
