Planet Pooch offers FREE Events
The Founders of Planet Pooch
It’s tough being a herding dog when there aren’t any sheep around. How about some off-leash playtime instead? On Saturday, July 19, all herding dogs are invited to chase and leap to their hearts’ content at Planet Pooch! Collies, sheepdogs, shepherds, mountain dogs, and more – they’re all welcome to roam in our off-leash grass field while their owners catch a break!
We’ll provide food and drink for the humans (feel free to bring your own to share) and plenty of clean, fully fenced space for the dogs to roam!
This event is totally free and open to both the public and Planet Pooch customers. All attending dogs must be fixed and well socialized to keep the afternoon safe and fun. All herding dogs are welcome (siblings ok!). Check back for future events for other dog breeds.
Please note: this is a 21+ event.
WHERE: PLANET POOCH 113 S Linden Ave, South San Francisco
WHEN: Saturday, July 19, 2014 to

About Planet Pooch
Commanders Dan, Ken and Marna discovered Planet Pooch near the end of the last millenium. Immediately they knew that this was the perfect place for pooches of all persuasions to play and socialize.
Working tirelessly, the Commanders transformed Planet Pooch to provide a clean, safe and secure habitat for dozens of friendly pooches. To accomplish their mission, the Commanders enlisted the help of some able-bodied Mission Specialists. Each of them brings unique skills and talents to their position.
Communications Officer and Canine Behavior Specialist Pia advises and counsels the humans who visit Planet Pooch in the ways of dogs. Fluent in Swedish, English and Dog, she helps both species understand one another.
Special Force Kainos do much of the hard work at Planet Pooch. Each Kainos Force member has special training in ball throwing, cuddly and dog safety.
The Commanders and Mission Specialists invite all friendly pooches on the peninsula to visit Planet Pooch and discover how good dogs and understanding humans can accomplish great things.

SLEEPOVERS
It’s the next best thing to being home. After a full day of playing and socializing, your pooch will snuggle up to one of his favorite Planet Pooch family members for a good night’s sleep. If your pup doesn’t have furniture privileges, we can provide a comfy mat at the foot of our bed. We can also accommodate those who don’t want to break their crate training and still sleep next to a human. Whatever rules apply at your home, apply at ours. Your pooch never sleeps alone at Planet Pooch.
Only dogs who have gone through the daycare admissions process at Planet Pooch are eligible for sleepovers. All dogs must attend at least one full day (6 hours) of daycare before their first overnight visit. If your dog is not eligible please see our Daycare Application.

It is important to safely socialize your puppy with other puppies, dogs and people!
If your plans for your puppy include growing up to be a dog that you can safely take anywhere on or off leash, you need to socialize them well before they reach 16 weeks of age. Some trainers do not believe in socializing puppies, other than a meet and greet. It is always a good idea to ask your trainer if their training approach will help you achieve your goals.
