TRIAL DAY / Temperament Test 
After a “Trial Day/Temperament Test”,  if things go well, we would add them to our “Fortnightly or Weekly” Roster (whichever you decide). 

**NEW Play Group members are temperament tested (on their first attendance) so we can access their personality/play style & make sure
they’re a good fit. Because safety & harmony among the pack is our priorty, we don’t accept anti-social dogs, chronic humpers or dogs
with play styles that are way too intense or intimidating. We don’t allow pinning, biting, chronic humping, intimidation or antagonising of other dogs in the playgroup.

Behaviour Assessment:

If you’re not sure if your dog’s personality will be suitable for our playgroup….. for a fee we can undertake a “one on one” social assessment.

BUS TIMETABLE:
Our bus arrives around 9 – 945am for pickup (depending on how many pickups & which suburbs). 
*Pls note,  you only have to be home for Pickup on the first morning.  Most customers are at work (upon dropoff) so leave us various Instructions on ‘where’ to drop-off (ie inside house, back yard, side yard, laundry) etc.   

Weekly or Fortnightly Attendance:
After an initial TRIAL DAY, we run our Service on a “Regular Basis” for weekly or fortnightly attendance. The Main reason for this is to “maintain” a stable & well balanced ‘regular’ Play Group. This way the dogs in our “pack” remain familiar with each other & the “routine” of the morning. There is far less chance of conflict when a Group of Dogs know each other really well. Unfortunately we don’t cater for monthly, one-offs or casual bookings sorry. We also run our Service this way as there’s alot of work (behind the scenes) & Training involved for a NEW dog to join our Group.  

There are NO contracts to sign, you can withdraw at any time, its more a verbal agreement, so you know/acknowledge that our Play Group is for Weekly or Fortnightly attendance .

Qualification Criteria:
* fully vaccinated or Titre Tested (pls ensure your dog is up-to-date & attach a copy for our file thank you)
* preferably be on ‘flee & tick control’ (this is your choice)
* be social & friendly with other dogs (of all sizes) & people.
* preferrably desexed (but not compulsory). Let us know if they’re not desexed. Should be fine unless they start ‘humping’ other dogs or showing anti-social behaviour.

What to Wear:
1) Firm Collar (unless you have a Brachcephalic Breed) & if so, a Body Harness is fine.
*re Collars: If  you’re dogs collar is more like a ‘necklace’ would you pls tighten it a little for our Play Group thank you.

2) Body/Travel Harness (These 2 items are required for Safety around the Park & Travelling Reason).

Pickup/Drop-off Service:
We generally collect dogs (in our doggy bus)  around 9 – 9.45am.  We collect at this time for 2 reasons:

(1) after peak hour traffic has slowed down
(2) to beat the heat.

**It’s safer to exercise dogs in the cooler parts of the day.


Payment
we require Advanced Payment (via direct deposit) on a Monday, thank you.
