Our team specializes in creating unforgettable experiences for children's parties while leveraging our expertise in animal-assisted therapy for special needs children.

We offer nationally recognized performance acts featuring dogs that jump through hoops, read numbers, ride skateboards, and engage in obstacle courses directed by party guests. With over two decades of experience, we combine professional training with educational value, ensuring every event is both entertaining and developmentally beneficial.Our services extend across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with a 75-mile travel radius available. Each event includes an assistant to facilitate child-pup interactions, guaranteeing smooth execution and memorable photo opportunities. We maintain strict safety protocols aligned with CDC guidelines, including mask-wearing during all events. Our owner, a licensed school social worker, integrates therapeutic principles into every performance, reflecting our commitment to quality and child safety.
