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 in Silicon Valley / Bay Area. 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.

Benefits Of
A Puppy Love Experience

Reduce Employee Absenteeism

Who doesn’t want to come to the office when there are puppies? Nothing makes the workplace more attractive than knowing there are adorable furry creatures to frolic with.

Increase Positive Work Relationships

For employees who have never met or who don’t know each other well – or even those who do, puppies are an amazing conversation starter and bonding experience.

Increase Employee Attention

Daily work saturation can get overwhelming. A few minutes of Puppy Love™ organically clears minds and boosts serotonin, leading to a positive attitude re-adjustment.

Improve Employee Productivity

When employees feel appreciated, all good things come – including the desire to work and do well for the company.

Bring Smiles Throughout the Day

The photo opps and buzz factor around a Puppy Love™ experience are unparalleled. Smiles will abound as photos are shared and the afterglow continues all through the day!

Reduce Stress & Anxiety

We all know the feeling of stress at work – looming deadlines, performance reviews, etc. A few minutes playing with puppies makes all that melt away and allows employees to lower their anxiety levels.

Wellness Group Activities in Silicon Valley / Bay Area

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!

"Sabrina and her entire team were great! We had a corporate event and Sabrina organized puppies and canine companions to be at our conference over a 3-day period. All attendees were in love with this idea and it really made the entire conference extra special. Attendees could not stop talking about the experience and I was so grateful that Sabrina took care of everything and was so organized. All we had to do was show her where the puppy area was, and her team took care of everything. Extremely organized and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants a unique experience at their next event. Thank you, Sabrina and team, for being awesome! "

"I hired Puppy Love for an event in our office in San Francisco. We had been hosting some creative happy hours of sorts and someone had the great idea of a puppy play date!

Lena, Pulse

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a corporate wellness event for Google where they hosted Puppy Love, who provided an amazing puppy experience. I’m an avid animal lover and was thrilled to see an employee engagement that not only focused on employee wellness but also gave back to the community in such a meaningful way. The Puppy Love event was fantastic. We were able to interact with adoptable dogs, and the event organizers provided information on the featured rescue who provided the pups. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to support such an important cause – not to mention have a blast! I was impressed with how well-organized the event was - and the attention to detail. The pups were well-cared for, and the Puppy Love team was great. This was an excellent example of how a company can help make a positive impact on the community while also promoting employee wellness/happiness. I hope to see more events like this in the future, and I applaud Google for their commitment to giving back and supporting their employees in this way."

Google, Business Admin Partner

The fact that you worked so hard to make it happen did not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your efforts more than words can say. In particular, we wanted to thank you for bringing in so many great leads for us. Your presence and the excitement it generated were instrumental in helping us connect with potential customers and partners. We believe that these connections will lead to great things for our business, and we owe a lot of that to you."

Geodis, Events Manager

"We can't express enough gratitude for the amazing event we hosted with Puppy Love and the rescue puppies. It was heartwarming to see our fans and players come together to support such a great cause. The puppies brought so much joy and laughter to everyone, and it was an unforgettable experience to see 25 of them find their forever homes. We feel privileged to have been a part of this event, and we look forward to continuing to support Puppy Love and their mission to help provide people with joy and help the rescue care for animals in need.

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!

  • 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

  • Kayla Schelling
    I’m grateful to have been a Puppy Coach for Puppy Love for over 5 years. What an amazing experience for clients, partner rescues, and of course the puppies! Puppy Love has the highest standards of making sure everyone is safe, taken care of, and having the best day ever. Invite Puppy Love over to your next conference, employee appreciation event, or anywhere a little “puppy therapy” might be needed. You’ll help a local rescue in need and definitely won’t regret it!!!
  • Cassie Cherner
    We used Puppy Love Inc for my companies Employee Appreciation event. We had two events going the same day, one in Oakland and one in Sacramento. It was a wonderful time and our employees loved being able to interact with the dogs, and learning ways that they can get involved with the local rescues to support them. It was great to work with Sabrina and she was very understanding and accommodating of our companies health and safety policies. We can't wait to use Puppy Love Inc again in the future!

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™ Northern California 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.

All pups come from our vetted, fully trusted rescue partners who ensure pups are happy and well cared for. 20% of all Puppy Love proceeds are donated back to our rescue partners to help cover their food and medical costs.
