Social Pack is a structured dog daycare experience designed to support positive dog socialisation, build confidence, and foster meaningful pack connection. Held in a secure, purpose-built rural space just minutes from Palmerston North, in the heart of the Manawatū.

Hosted at Canine Compound, our private 1-acre dog facility features open grassed areas, scenic views, and a variety of enrichment elements — including a sandpit, agility obstacles, tunnels, and natural terrain. It's an environment where dogs are encouraged to grow, play, and learn at their own pace, all under the guidance of an experienced handler (me).

Whether your dog needs support developing social confidence, refining recall, or simply thrives in a well-structured and safe outdoor setting, Social Pack offers a professional and enriching alternative to traditional dog daycare services.

Each session is intentionally led under the PacK9 philosophy, which centres around clear boundaries, calm leadership, safe interactions, and purposeful confidence-building.

All dogs are under continuous supervision. With over 8+ years of experience working with a wide range of behaviours, I specialise in canine body language, safe group management, and intentional pack structure.

Pickup & drop off is included in the price of your dog's day out, no drop-off-to-me option is available. 

The cost is $45 per Social Pack day, with a minimum weekly commitment required.

A one-off consultation, priced at $45, is mandatory to assess your dog’s suitability, introduce pack boundaries, and begin forming a positive relationship.

Please note that unneutered male dogs are not eligible for this service. Unspayed females are welcome but will need to sit out daycare days during their heat cycle.
