Socialisation Sessions

Helping Dogs Build Confidence & Friendships!

At Mansfield Canine Centre, we understand the importance of positive social experiences for dogs of all ages. That’s why we offer a range of structured socialisation sessions, designed to help dogs build confidence, develop appropriate play skills, and form positive relationships in a safe and supervised environment.  

Whether you have a young puppy learning the ropes, an adult dog looking for fun playmates, or a breed-specific pup who’d love to meet their own kind, we have the perfect session for them!
