Puppy Outings
Safe, strucutred outings that buuild confidence, social skills and real world exposure.
Before 24 weeks old is the optimum time frame for creating confident adult dogs. Our puppy outings in Toronto focus on safe, structured socialization and real-world exposure. These sessions help puppies build confidence, develop calm behaviour, and learn how to navigate new environments during their most important developmental stage.
What are Puppy Outings?
Puppy Outings will start teaching basic manners but more importantly, will offer your puppy many unique experiences designed to build confidence and exposure to novel situations in a happy, safe way.
We accomplish this through many safe, positive exposures to new sights, sounds, movement, smells, and environments.
- Age appropriate play & interaction with adult dogs
- Confidence building / socialization to new people, sights, sounds, smells, etc
- Crate training, house breaking, biting, jumping
- Building attention & engagement
- Deconditioning grooming / handling
How Puppy Outings Work
We pick your pup up from home for a personalized 2-hour outing with a certified professional trainer. Each session is tailored to your goals, giving your puppy focused one-on-one training in real-world environments, along with helpful training handouts.
You’ll receive photos and videos after every outing so you can stay connected and continue the progress at home.
Before getting started, we’ll schedule a 30-minute meet & greet to learn more about you and your pup. Puppies under 16 weeks require at least their first set of vaccinations, while those over 16 weeks need their first two sets.
Puppy outings are currently available in Tillsonburg only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to socialize young puppies?
Research shows that starting to socialize your puppy between 8-16 weeks helps them to develop better social skills and confidence, rather than waiting until they are 4 months or older to start socializing and training. Socializing is great for puppies and also is a preventative step against behavioural problems as they grow up such as fear, and anxiety.
Starting to train and reinforce good behaviours in your puppy while they’re young, means that cute tolerable puppy behaviours (like mouthing) won’t become an unbearable problem as they grow up. Training puppies from a young age helps create consistency for them and results in consistent behaviours at home. Avoiding frustrations with your dog’s behaviours helps your bond so you can enjoy your relationship, rather than feeling frustrated by your dog’s behaviours.
Can you pick up my dog if I’m not home?
Yes, but you’ll need to entrust us with a house key or other access to your home. For your security and privacy, all clients’ keys are coded with no identifying information on the tag.
How do you transport the dogs?
Dogs are shuttled to locations in our vehicles. To ensure their safety, each dog is crated during transit and while loading or unloading. Each vehicle is equipped with first aid kits and cell phones. They are fully heated, air-conditioned and well-ventilated.
