Which Session Should You Book? A Straight Answer for First-Timers
We get some version of this question most weeks from new visitors: which session do I actually need? Here's the honest, no-sales-pitch version.
If you've never brought your dog before, book a single standard session first. Don't commit to a package until you know how your dog actually responds to the space — most dogs settle in within a few minutes, but the occasional dog finds a new environment overstimulating at first, and it's better to discover that on a one-off booking than partway through a block you've already paid for.
If your dog took to it and you're coming back regularly, the 10-session package (covered in an earlier post on the blog) works out cheaper per visit than booking individually, and for a lot of owners a weekly session becomes part of the routine rather than an occasional treat.
If you're bringing more than one dog, check the per-dog pricing on the booking page before you book — it's more cost-effective to bring your household's dogs together in one slot than to book separate sessions, and most dogs prefer having their own person there rather than being shuffled between visits.
If your dog is reactive to other dogs specifically, book at a quieter time of day if you can — the diary tends to fill up around after-work hours and weekend mornings, so a mid-morning weekday slot gives the most buffer either side of your booking.
If you're coming for training rather than free play — recall work, loose-lead practice, settle work — the length of a standard session is enough for focused, short training bursts with breaks, which tends to work better than trying to drill one skill for the full hour. Little and often beats one long push.
Whatever you choose, nothing is locked in until you book — if a single session doesn't suit, you're not committed to anything further. See all session options and book here.
