Puppy brunch

Join us for a Puppy Social Experience

We've learned the hard way how important socialization is in our lives over the past several months. For puppies it truly represents everything - they learn behaviour, it is a healthy play time and it keeps their mind engaged. Keep in mind that improper socializing or a lack of socialization can result in behavioral problems later in life. On the other hand, proper socialization will build confidence in them and you will be provided with knowledge on how to and, more importantly, why interrupt unwanted behaviors and recognize body language.

Playdates for your puppies are not just a fun way to pass the time but it is also an opportunity for you to get to know them in their natural environment. Watching them interact with their peers can tell you what kind of dog you can expect to have and love for another decade or more. RSVP and join us in our indoor-outdoor space, as we welcome you and your canine family member to our unique oasis in the city.

In compliance with COVID-19 protocols and guidelines we are implementing a higher standard of care at DEN, including, physical-distancing measures including 6' markers, stricter cleaning protocol with EPA-certified supplies, and ensuring that our team members have protective gear while interacting with humans and their dogs. Also, for this event we're limiting the capacity to no more than 20 puppies accompanied by one adult.

Space is limited. Book Now

DEN Dog Pod Sound Bath Experience

Imagine yourself in your happy place, comfortably laying down on cozy blankets and waves of harmonic sounds are washing over you. Now imagine experiencing that with your canine friend that you just rescued, or that you have for nearly a decade! It is a well-known fact that dogs have much more sensitive hearing than humans, hearing sounds four times farther away than we can, among other things.

Sound bath will enhance your emotional and physical well-being. Same is done for your pup. The practice of sound bath energy healing is based on the belief that sounds and vibrational forces can directly influence your health. Healing practitioners use different instruments and sound tools to create different frequencies depending on a one's needs. With different instruments sound vibrations influence different energy fields of the body affecting the chakra or aura to bring balance to a person's (and dog's) life force energy. This further encourages physical, emotional and spiritual growth and healing. It is also great opportunity for the entire family to practice mindfulness together and to strengthen the bonds between them.

During an hour long session your whole family (Pods up to 6 people) will be guided by one of our professional healers through this spiritual healing practice that originated in Ancient Greece but bloomed in Tibetan monasteries. This offering is a once in a lifetime experience.

DEN Dog Pod Reiki Experience

For centuries eastern masters tapped into sacred practices to achieve unison of mind, body and soul through channeling of "qi" or "prana" - universal energy. It is the life force energy that surrounds all of us. This energy is seeping through the body. Because of that Reiki is known to assist in the body's natural healing processes and develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Those who have undergone it also claim that it induces deep relaxation, helps in coping with difficulties, relieves emotional stress, and improves overall well-being.

Same benefits are noticeable with our canine friends. Dogs are excellent in picking up our emotional baggage. When they are next to us, our stress is no longer just ours. Of course, they also have their own personalities and quirks and we, in our fast-paced lives, mostly just learn to live with them, often having ready that quick spiel "Oh, he/she is just so … fill in the blank". Only recently western veterinary medicine started recognizing that canine mental health is "a thing" and that some dogs, just like some humans, need more attention than others.

If you just brought a puppy or an adult dog into your home it is a great deal for all family members, especially the new four-legged member. Immersing into healing sessions as a group can have a positive influence on all participants. Reiki for dogs is excellent for physical healing, psychological treatment, and general wellness. It can be especially helpful to support our furry friends in managing things like anxiety, stress and fear.

In this hour long session your whole family (Pods up to 6 people) will experience Japanese spiritual healing art with one of our professional healers. This offering is a once in a lifetime experience.
