BOOKINGS
for The Puppy Cuddle Dine-In Experience
The team Collies and Co. provide a unique "Puppy Cuddle Dine-in Experience" to guests, at different times during the year when they are socialising either pedigree bred, or rescue, litters of puppies at the cafe during their critical socialisation period up to 12 weeks old. This experience is strictly booking only, which can be made through our new booking partner NowBookIt, via the widget located at the bottom of this page. Please ensure you have read and agreed to all the terms and conditions listed here prior to making a booking, as it is a requirement of entry.
***Please Note:
The next litter of puppies will be 7 pedigree Border Collie puppies that will join us at the cafe for socialisation from Monday 18th January until Friday 29th January.
The Puppy Cuddle Dine-in Experience at Collies and Co. is a unique 90 minute food, drink and puppy package that begins with a 45 minute dining experience. Your booking includes a choice of beverage, and a delicious main meal from our all-day menu for each guest, in our spacious and modern venue, where you will be seated within view of the puppy yard. Enjoy your Cleanskin coffee and 'Jackson's top-dog Breakfast' while watching the puppies playing only meters away in their yard which has been specially designed with glass fencing, so you get to see every pounce, tussle and tug!
The dining experience is followed by a 45 minute "puppy cuddle" session in our designated puppy area, where you will be able to spend time playing, socialising and interacting with a litter of puppies.

“PUPPY CUDDLE” Dine-in Experience
- After the 45 minute dine-in part of your booking when you have finished your meals and drinks, you will be provided the opportunity to enter a separate, custom built puppy yard, to enjoy playing and interacting with them. The puppies available will either be a litter of pedigree Border Collie puppies that the owner’s breed under their ANKC prefix, Zaryliam Border Collies, pedigree puppies of other breeds that join us for socialisation from other ANKC breeders, or occasionally a litter of foster puppies from our rescue partner ARQ.
- It is a requirement of entering the puppy yard that you will be sanitised with F10sc veterinary grade disinfectant spray. It is safe for both humans and animals, and when sprayed on shoes, clothing, hands and skin, will protect our staff, yourselves and most importantly the puppies from any bacteria or viruses including Parvovirus.
- Trained animal attendants, including qualified vet nurses and trainees studying towards their animal care qualifications, plan and oversee these sessions, monitor the interactions and closely watch for any signs of stress or fatigue. We encourage you to ask our attendants questions, get a cute photo and enjoy playing and socialising with the puppies as well as learning about breed specific traits, training methods, socialisation protocols, canine behaviour, canine nutrition and more.
- When you leave your table to enter the doggo yard please take your belongings with you as during this time our team will be clearing your table and disinfecting ready for the next booking.
- You will be welcome to spend time in the puppy yard for the entire second half of your booking (45 minutes). At the conclusion of the session our lovely attendant will direct you to the exit where additional hand sanitising stations are located prior to leaving the premises.
- If you have a good experience at Collies and Co, don't forget to tag us in instagram and facebook posts and leave us a positive review on Google, we received plenty of nice reviews in person and only negative ones online, and without your positive feedback we may not continue this dine in experience in future. If however you didn't enjoy your experience, or you have feedback on ways we could improve in future, please contact the owners directly at madelinenixon@colliesandco.com.au.
By making a booking you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
The team at Collies & Co. (and the puppies) are looking forward to seeing you soon! x
