Structured Play Day - for little guys
Guided by my professional experience as a dog trainer and the owner of three small dogs, I understand both the behavioural needs and emotional sensitivities of small breeds. The Play Days program is specifically developed to provide structured care, enrichment and confidence-building experiences for dogs up to 12Kg. With a focus on positive, consistent guidance and size-appropriate interactions, this program gives your dog the opportunity to feel safe, understood, stimulated and fulfilled.
Whether you have a puppy just starting its own life adventure, a boisterous young adolescent or a set on its ways senior doggo, a Play Day at BoneGiorno is the perfect choice. Tackling behavioural challenges such as being insecure, timid, fearful, nervous or anxious, my structured program is designed to enrich dogs life with positive interactions, exercise, and learning while giving you the confidence that they are safe, developing essential skills, and well cared for.
Throughout the day, social play and interactions are meaningful and planned to support your dog holistically. By understanding dogs temperaments, dynamics, play styles and skill levels, as a professional trainer I prepare and build dogs up by teaching life essential skills with the aim to pair groups of dogs to foster healthy interactions and play.
My day care program creates an environment where dogs thrive through structured learning and skill-building activities. Rest and relaxation are key parts of that experience. With ample downtime and quiet areas for dogs to unwind and recharge, they are then ready to engage with a calm mindset and renewed energy.
In all honesty, I am a sucker for dogs so cuddles, scratches and treats are of course part of the package for ongoing tail wagging.
