Tea Party
Puppy Social Tea is a small, calm-centric gathering where little dogs learn how to meet new friends, and how to be a good friend back, while humans sip tea and trade notes. Submit the form to join the waitlist!
No chaos, no crowded dog park, no anxious humans. Just a cozy, thoughtfully hosted gathering where small pups can build confidence at their own pace.
❋ Intentional StructureSettle in. Pups arrive, sniff around, and get comfortable before anything else begins.
Gentle play. Supervised, size-matched play with plenty of breaks, so no one gets overwhelmed.
Little lessons. Short, positive moments that build good manners: calm greetings, polite play, and recovering from a surprise.
Tea for the humans. A warm drink, a quiet moment, and a chance to ask questions and meet other new puppy parents.
❋ Who It's ForPuppies aged 12-20 weeks and under 20lbs
Small breeds and mixes, including Shih Tzus, Poms, and their kin
Puppies who are small, shy, quiet, lack confidence, bold and everything in between
New puppy owners who want to meet potential playmates for their pups
Calm, gentle, respectful children ages 6-11 who follow directions well, want to learn proper kid-to-puppy etiquette, and help socialize shy little puppies.
❋ Why It MattersEarly socialization is vital
The first few months shape how a dog sees the world. Kind, positive experiences with other dogs, new people, and children now help prevent fear and reactivity later. Puppy Social Tea gives your pup those experiences in a calm, supportive setting.
A calm room is good for everyone
Dogs pick up on their people’s moods, so we care for both ends of the leash. We serve soothing, pet-safe herbal teas for puppies and parents, lightly mist the space with gentle herbal water, and offer mild aromatherapy for pet parents to enjoy.
Small pups deserve small groups
Big puppy groups can overwhelm the little ones and can be unsafe. Our tea parties are small and size-matched, with breaks built in, so shy pups can warm up and bold ones learn to play gently. Along the way, puppies practice bite inhibition, polite greetings, and resilience.
❋ Important DetailsWhat to bring
A leash and well-fitting collar or harness with identification tags
Your puppy’s vaccination records
A few soft treats your pup loves
A blanket or small bed from home, if it comforts them
Questions
How much does it cost?
$25 at RSVP, plus $5 for each additional adult or puppy.
Do I stay for the session?
Yes, this is a tea party for pups and their people.
What if my puppy hasn’t finished vaccines?
Pups should have 2 rounds of DHPP (distemper, parvo) by 12 weeks. If yours is seeing a vet regularly and has had at least one round, reach out and we’ll consider it. Your vet knows best what’s right for your pup’s schedule.
