At Rags & Bert’s, every puppy’s daycare journey begins with an important first step: our Puppy Socialisation Party.
These early sessions are designed to introduce young puppies to positive social experiences in a safe, carefully managed environment before they progress into our structured daycare program. We believe that building confidence from the very beginning is key to creating happy, well-adjusted dogs.
From their very first social experiences through to full daycare integration, each puppy’s development is handled with care, patience, and a personalised approach.
Our Puppy Socialisation Parties provide the perfect foundation for puppies to begin learning essential social skills.
These sessions allow puppies to:
By starting with structured socialisation, puppies are given the opportunity to develop emotionally and socially before entering the daycare environment.
For puppies under six months old, joining daycare is a gradual process. Rather than being introduced straight into the main daycare group, they begin within smaller, puppy-focused areas where interactions can be carefully supervised and tailored to their needs.
Puppies are paired with carefully selected companions, including:
This thoughtful approach helps puppies build confidence without becoming overwhelmed by larger groups or more intense play styles.
Young puppies are still physically developing, so their daycare environment is specifically designed to support their safety and wellbeing.
Our dedicated puppy areas feature:
This ensures puppies can explore, play, and learn in environments that match their developmental stage.
A major part of successful puppy daycare is ensuring puppies receive the rest they need.
Puppies under six months old require significantly more sleep than adult dogs - often up to 18 hours per day. To support this, each puppy follows a structured routine that balances play with essential downtime. Typically, puppies enjoy:
Preventing over-tiredness is crucial in maintaining positive daycare experiences and supporting healthy development.
As puppies grow in confidence, emotional maturity, and social capability, we slowly increase their exposure to larger daycare groups and new environments.
Puppies over six months old may begin transitioning into the main daycare area if they are ready, but this is always done gradually and at the individual puppy’s pace.
Every puppy develops differently, and our team carefully tailors each progression to ensure they feel secure and supported.
At Rags & Bert’s, the journey from Puppy Socialisation Party to daycare is never rushed.
Every puppy begins with smaller, supportive experiences before gradually progressing as they become more confident and socially capable. Our personalised approach ensures that each puppy receives the guidance, structure, and care they need to thrive.
By focusing on safety, confidence-building, social development, and rest, we create positive foundations that support puppies throughout every stage of growth.
At Rags & Bert’s, your puppy’s journey starts with socialisation, grows with confidence, and develops into a lifetime of happy, healthy daycare experiences
