Welcome to Our Park – Where Tails Wag and Magic Happens! 🐾
Welcome to Our Park – Where Tails Wag and Magic Happens! 🐾
Our park is a special, safe space designed just for social dogs to run, play, and be their happiest selves! One of our golden rules? No leads allowed! We know that can feel a little scary at first for humans—but trust us, once you let go, something amazing happens.
Leads and fences can make dogs feel tense or trapped, which might make them act out. It's like their instincts get confused—they can’t run away, so sometimes they bark, growl, or lunge instead. They might be picking up on your nerves or trying to protect you. But once the lead comes off in our safe, social setting, the whole vibe changes. They’re free to be dogs—and WOW, do they love it!
And guess what? Science backs us up! Research shows that dogs in off-lead, social environments have lower stress levels (Rooney et al., 2009). That means more wagging tails, happy hearts, and playful zoomies all around!
We’re also proud to support three amazing animal sanctuaries: SPCA, Friend Animal Foundation, and Twala Trust. Your donations—whether cash (split equally) or in-kind gifts (rotated between the three)—go directly to helping animals in need. We also host fun fundraising events to bring the dog-loving community together for a good cause.
Best way to follow our 'ins and outs, ups and downs' is via our WhatsApp Channel, remember to tap FOLLOW

Puppy Play Starts Early – But Timing is Everything! 🐾
Puppy Play Starts Early – But Timing is Everything! 🐾
Did you know that puppies start learning life skills as soon as their little legs can carry them? From day one, their mom and littermates are their first teachers—showing them how to play nicely, communicate with body language, handle frustration, and even how hard is too hard when it comes to biting!
That’s why it’s so important for puppies to stay with their mom and siblings for at least the first 8 weeks of life. Even if they’re already eating on their own, they’re still soaking up super important social lessons that help them grow into happy, confident, and well-behaved dogs.
Science backs this up! Puppies taken away too early (before 8 weeks) are much more likely to struggle with fear, anxiety, or reactivity later on (Pierantoni et al., 2011). These first few weeks are like a crash course in “how to be a dog,” and they’re absolutely essential for healthy brain and emotional development.
When can your pup join the park fun?
When can your pup join the park fun?
Because of the risk of Parvo, we can only welcome puppies two weeks after their third Parvo vaccine (usually given at 12 weeks), so that’s from 14 weeks old onwards.
While you're waiting for immunity to kick in, it’s a great idea to gently expose your pup to the world! Let them meet friendly, vaccinated dogs, and say hello to lots of people—big and small. Just make sure it’s safe and clean. Every positive experience builds confidence and helps your pup become the best version of themselves.
Let the learning (and tail-wagging) begin!
