Question 1

Can children attend this class?

Accepted Answer

Children above the age of 13 are very welcome to attend as long as they are accompanied by a ticketed adult. The adult will be responsible for ensuring they handle the puppies with care.

Question 2

How do the puppies benefit from our classes?

Accepted Answer

Our classes provide a calm, controlled environment that supports puppies during an important stage of early development. Gentle exposure to new people, sounds, and surroundings can help build confidence and support healthy socialisation before they head off to their forever homes.

All puppies respond differently - some may be confident straight away, while others take time to settle and observe. By allowing puppies to interact at their own pace, our sessions encourage positive, low-pressure experiences that can help them feel more comfortable in new situations. We regularly receive positive feedback from breeders and owners who notice increased confidence and adaptability after attending our classes.

The puppies’ wellbeing always comes first, and sessions are carefully managed to ensure they remain a positive and stress-free experience.

Question 3

Are the puppies safe to attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the puppies’ health, safety, and wellbeing are our top priority. All puppies are 8 weeks or older and have received their first vaccinations before attending. Puppies change regularly, and we never mix different litters together unless they have been raised together.

Our yoga studios are thoroughly cleaned before each session using vet-approved disinfectants. Puppies always have access to fresh water, their feeding routines are maintained, and sessions are carefully timed to avoid overhandling. Breaks are built in between classes so puppies can rest privately away from people when needed.

All interactions are supervised to ensure they remain gentle and positive, creating a safe environment for puppies as they begin their early socialisation journey before heading to their new homes.

Question 4

Am I guaranteed to get puppy cuddles?

Accepted Answer

Puppy cuddles can’t be guaranteed. All breeds, litters, and individual puppies are different - some are naturally confident and affectionate, while others may be more timid and need time to settle into a new environment.

For the highest chance of puppy interaction, we recommend attending the first class of the day, as puppies often have more energy earlier on. That said, this can vary from session to session. Some puppies may take time to come out of their shells, while others may prefer to rest or observe.

Our classes are yoga-focused experiences with puppies present in the room. When puppies choose to approach you, you’re welcome to enjoy a cuddle, but their comfort and wellbeing always come first. Many guests still find the experience relaxing and rewarding, even when puppies choose to nap nearby.

Question 5

How many people are in each class?

Accepted Answer

Class sizes vary depending on the yoga studio, but typically there are 14 to 22 attendees. This allows enough space for everyone to practice yoga comfortably while interacting safely with the puppies.

Question 6

How many puppies are in each class?

Accepted Answer

The number of puppies in each class varies depending on the litter and class size. In previous sessions, classes have had between 5 and 12 puppies. This allows us to maintain a calm, safe environment where all puppies and participants can enjoy the session comfortably.

Question 7

Can I bring my own puppy?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, you cannot bring your own puppy or dog to the class. Puppies under 12 weeks should not interact with other dogs for safety and health reasons, so we only use carefully selected, vaccinated puppies provided for the sessions.

Question 8

What breed are the puppies?

Accepted Answer

The puppies in each class vary depending on the litter - they can be big, small, long, short, wrinkly, or fluffy, we don't discriminate! Every session is a fun and unique experience.

Question 9

Where do the puppies come from?

Accepted Answer

All of our puppies come from carefully selected, local breeders we trust and work closely with. We take the time to ensure every breeder meets strict welfare standards and follows all regulations.

We never work with puppy farms or large-scale breeding operations. Our puppies are raised in home environments, surrounded by care, attention, and love, and are treated as part of the family from day one.

Question 10

How long is each class?

Accepted Answer

Each class lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes, including 45 minutes of yoga followed by 30 minutes of dedicated puppy playtime. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to take photos, including a complimentary Polaroid photo to take home.

Question 11

Can we host private events?

Accepted Answer

Yes - we’d love to! Private events can be arranged for birthdays, celebrations, corporate wellness sessions, and more. Simply DM us or email us for details on our event packages, including availability, group sizes, and pricing.

When getting in touch, please let us know your preferred date, number of guests, occasion, and the city you’re enquiring about. You can find the relevant contact emails on our Contact Us page.

Question 12

Are the puppies toilet trained?

Accepted Answer

Our puppies are very young and still learning, so the occasional accident may happen during a session. Don’t worry - puppy pads are placed throughout the studio, and if an accident does occur, a member of our team will clean it up straight away so the class can continue comfortably.

Question 13

Do I have to be good at yoga?

Accepted Answer

Definitely not! Our classes are designed for all abilities, and most of our guests aren’t regular yoga practitioners. Our instructors are always aware of this and guide the session at a relaxed, beginner-friendly pace - the focus is on fun, movement, and enjoying time with the puppies.

Question 14

Do I have to do the yoga?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! You’re always welcome to take a break from the poses to cuddle or play with a puppy if one wanders over - especially if that’s what feels best for your wellbeing. Our sessions are designed to be flexible, pressure-free, and all about enjoying the experience.

Question 15

Will we have time for pictures?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You’re welcome to take as many photos as you like throughout the session, and our team is always happy to help take group pictures too. Every guest also receives a complimentary Polaroid photo to take home as a lasting memory.
Don’t forget to tag us in your photos - we love seeing all the wholesome moments

Question 16

Do I need to bring my own mat?

Accepted Answer

We provide yoga mats for everyone, but you’re very welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Just keep in mind that our puppies are curious and love to explore - so any personal mats may be at risk of a little chewing!

Question 17

I have a complaint/suggestion/review, who should I contact?

Accepted Answer
