Made for the littles
A comfortable place to meet, play, and learn
Little Dog Socials give smaller dogs room to make friends at their own pace while their people stay close by. Jollytails staff help watch the group and answer questions about training, confidence, and everyday dog behaviour.
Indoor and outdoor play
Enjoy approximately 8,000 square feet of fully fenced play space, including a climate-controlled indoor area and a large outdoor yard.
Little-dog-sized fun
Meet other dogs around 20 lb and under, burn off energy, and enjoy pools and water play when conditions are right.
Training in real life
Bring rewards and practise attention, recall, and good choices in a safe off-leash environment with real distractions.
Before you join
Little Dog Social guidelines
- Socials are for little dogs weighing up to 20 lb.
- Dogs should be social with people and other dogs. Shy or nervous dogs are welcome, and staff can help them settle in; dogs displaying aggression will be asked to leave.
- Dogs must be up to date on their core vaccinations and visibly well.
- This is not a drop-off event. One person must remain with each dog, actively monitor them, manage their behaviour, and clean up after them.
- Bring small rewards if you would like to practice training during off-leash play.
Jollytails provides a clean and secure facility, but active social play always carries some risk. Injuries or damage are uncommon but possible, and owners remain responsible for their dogs throughout the event.
