WELLNESS GROUP ACTIVITIES
Team Building
We all know the daily routine of clocking in and clocking out for work. Whether it be in person, hybrid or remote, adults spend a significant amount of their days at the workplace. And with recent economic and societal shake ups, it is becoming increasingly vital to engage employees in a social and supportive environment for the sake of retention and overall team performance.
One of the best things you can do for your employees and overall company culture is encourage team building through Puppy Love's wellness group activities. Puppy Love is here to design a team building experience that will promote the bonding your employees need to be successful.
Employees who are happier and feel a strong bond with their coworkers are better at collaborating effectively on team projects, resulting in high performance and innovative problem solving. So how do you increase happiness and the bond between your employees? Puppies! Puppies are the perfect source of laughter and increasing happiness. They exude cuteness, but they are also able to reduce cortisol levels in humans. The calm, happy feelings puppies generate in people also help them feel comfortable and more open around their peers.
This is what makes a Puppy Love team building experience unique. There’s no pressure to master a game or win, and a Puppy Love experience produces a non-competitive environment, helping teams focus on growth, wellness, and each other.
What Are The Benefits Of
A Puppy Love Experience?
Wellness Group Activities
Team building activities create a place for team members to learn more about how each other communicates and work together in a low stress environment. These opportunities also offer opportunities for employees to be themselves, which helps to identify employees’ different strengths, such as who stands out as natural leaders.
Research demonstrates the need for team building activities to improve workplace health and behavior, but it can be difficult to find an activity employees not only want to engage in but look forward to. Employees who work in a remote or hybrid capacity may also need a little extra incentive to come into the office for the day, and there is no better way to bring people together than the promise of sweet puppy cuddles. That’s why a session with Puppy Love is the exact wellness group activity you need to promote empathy and compassion amongst your team members. Employees will prioritize coming into work to allow them to participate and they won’t be able to stop talking about the experience, providing even more opportunities to bond together as a team, even after the event
Testimonials
We Make Working Fun
It is well known that it’s impossible to hold in a smile when your eyes see a puppy. Dogs, especially puppies, love to love people. Puppies promote happiness, and happy employees tend to be more productive in the workplace. Employees can bond over witnessing a sweet pup make a silly face while yawning or a puppy can be the conversation starter you need to get your teams making connections and talking to each other face-to-face.
Dogs naturally reduce loneliness and stress levels in humans which can lead to continued positive associations with work. Team members can enjoy this experience and talk about how relaxed and happy they feel together, encouraging the bonding an organization needs to thrive. The demands of the workplace can often get overwhelming for the individual, but it is less so when they feel like they have a team they can actively rely on for support.
A Puppy Love session is a wonderful wellness group activity that enhances company culture and positive associations with work.

What Our Customers Say
Roselina Rimando
Absolutely an amazing experience! The Puppy Love team was early, and was able to set up right next to our outdoor restaurant table. I was worried the space would be restrictive, but it was not! We held the puppies while standing or sitting at the table. This was no doubt the best experience our team has ever had. Everyone was so in love with the puppies, and we had such a great time spending this time with them! Who can resist puppies? Apparently no one, because strangers were walking by and stopped to take photos and ask about the puppies! I worked with Sabrina at Puppy Love to coordinate the event. I called her worried the experience might be lacking because of the restaurant space we reserved (the only one in the area that could take a large party + puppies), but she looked at the restaurant photos while on the phone with me and reassured me they could make it work, and she was absolutely correct! So glad I was able to leverage her expertise. The onsite Puppy Love team duo, were so friendly and engaging. They took photos of our team with the puppies, and answered all our questions. I would absolutely recommend working with Puppy Love! This was an unforgettable experience! Our team was raving about it for days!
Erica Pham
There are not enough words to describe how great Jennifer and the Puppy Love team are! I have been wanting to plan a company event for awhile now and it was important to me that we did not support using puppies/dogs from mills or breeders. Puppy Love not only partners with rescues, but also will donate a portion of the cost to the rescue as well so right off the bat, I was already impressed. Jennifer is very communicative throughout the process and made it easy for us to host the event. We essentially just provided the space and her team handled the rest! Everyone on the team were incredibly kind and clearly cared about the dogs and puppies. The event was nothing short of amazing and I have no doubt that we will be inviting them back for another event in the future! It’s well worth it, I can’t recommend Puppy Love enough!

Michelle Cadwell
Jennifer is a such a Gem to work with! We hired her company for a Employee Summer Picnic event in August of 2023. She not only provided a ton of wonderful information on how activations work, but provided a whole experience. We remained in contact up to our event. The day of the event, was not only seem less, but her staff was beyond amazing. Puppies did get held up in traffic but we made the most of it, and they ensured puppies were here for the full time. I will be in contact again for our next event in the future.

PUPPIES! Who does not love spending time with these cuties. The rescue pups are so adorable and playful, or even comforting and sweet sleeping in your arms. Great way to add to a conference or corporate event, promoting socialization for the dogs and alleviating stress and anxiety for attendees. Tensions melt away and blood pressure drops, puppy love is magical. Great organization to help with events. They have exceptional staff who really care about promoting dog rescues and adoptions. Thank you Sabrina and your team!
Eryn McCoy
I couldn’t say better things about Puppy Love! The staff was so incredibly nice, welcoming, and caring with the dogs! It was so fun to cuddle and play with pups! Wish Puppy Love was at every conference I went to!

If you are hosting a conference or corporate event, looking for something for employee appreciation, team building, or recognition, Puppy Love is a great option. In cooperation with local rescue organizations, Puppy Love will bring and supervise puppies at your event allowing your team all the cuddles and doggo kisses they can handle! The staff are great and love the positive engagement with the pups and the public. This is so beneficial for all involved, positive vibes for the people, and socialization for the pups. They are amazing!

Puppy Love is such a fantastic company to work with! At a recent event, our guests truly loved spending time with the precious puppies! Puppy Love services helped make this event magical and we cannot thank them enough. They were all such a joy to work with and all of their energy + effort was essential in providing an amazing experience and this event could not have been possible without them! thank you Puppy Love!
Lauren Mushkin
Puppy Love provides the BEST puppy experience. They focus on the healthy, safety and well-being of the pups and people. I would highly encourage anyone looking to have a fun, unique, and experience to contact them!
Alta Abel
Puppy Love was the hit of our Happy Hour- they brought the joy and snuggles all our attendees needed to unwind from the day. One enthusiastic attendee went as far as describing it as “pure magic!” Their snuggle coaches made sure the pups didn’t get overwhelmed and everyone got their turn to feel the puppy love. They made the planning super easy, worked directly with the venue manager to find an area, arrived on time, and shared photos of our guests!
Courtney Hitrys
Working with Jennifer has been a pleasure! Their set up and take down is smooth, the puppies are always adorable and Puppy Love is reliable and make the process of working with puppies at events smooth and easy.

Questions?
Even the most conscientious workplace can be stress-filled. We believe cuddling and playing with puppies is an ideal way to restore the balance. In fact, scientific studies have shown positive therapeutic effects from animal interaction – including decreasing blood pressure and reduced levels of cortisol.
Puppy Love™ founder Sabrina Freed combined her two key passions: creating outstanding events and animal advocacy. A pioneer in the field of high-profile conferences Sabrina realized firsthand how employees would benefit from puppies in the workplace, and likewise, how employers would see results in worker efficiency, and wellness. A wonderful give-back, Puppy Love also donates 20% of all proceeds back into the local rescue community.
Puppy Love was started in San Francisco and serves all areas of northern and southern California. We also partner with rescues nationwide to provide Puppy Love experiences across the U.S.
Yes. Each location carries liability insurance of $2M to ensure our attendees and puppies are well covered.
