Dogs have a natural instinct to seek out and become a part of a pack. When dogs successfully join a pack, they learn valuable socialization skills from other dogs. These skills can significantly reduce behavioral issues such as aggression and anxiety.
We take an innovative approach to dog socialization by utilizing Pack Assimilation Leaders (PALs) to supervise safe meet-and-greets among dogs. Our PALs are Certified Professional Canine Trainers who take pack assimilation very seriously.
When your dog joins a PAL-supervised play date, you get a professional and safe integration experience that is managed by a certified trainer.
Because consistency is key, we recommend that your dog attends multiple PAL-supervised play dates. Because every dog’s behavior and journey is unique, the time it takes to fully assimilate your pet into a pack may vary. Consistency and patience are keys to helping your pup find safe and fun interactions with their new Pack Buddies!
After signing up for a free Pack Buddies account, visit the “Find a Play Date” link in the navigation menu, and search for a play date near you. Events with the PAL icon indicate play dates that are supervised by a Pack Buddies Pack Assimilation Leader.
Yes! If your search for a PAL-supervised play date renders no results, you can create a new event and request that a Pack Buddies PAL attends the play date. PAL events require a minimum of two dogs to attend, including your dog. Event requests are fulfilled based on PAL availability in your local community, and require a fee to attend.
PAL-supervised play dates are facilitated by certified dog trainers who specialize in pack assimilation. The fee to attend a Pack Buddies PAL-supervised play date is $50 per dog for a 30-minute session or $75 per dog for a 60-minute session.
Payment for each session is required at the time of booking an event at packbuddies.net.
