Tiny Tots & Treats: Small Dog Meetup at Off-Leash Hotel

New Lenox, IL

Event: Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate Calling all small dog owners! Join us for a tail-wagging good time at the Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate. We’re inviting our community of dog lovers to bring their tiny furry friends to the back of our facility for a fun-filled morning of play, music, and delicious breakfast treats! Event Details: • Date: [November 9, 2024] • Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM • Location: Off-Leash Hotel (Back of the Facility) • Who’s Invited: Small dogs and their owners • Admission: Free to all Off-Leash Hotel customers What to Expect: This is the perfect event to let your small dog stretch their legs, make new friends, and burn off some energy in a safe, supervised environment. We’ve got a great lineup of activities and amenities planned to ensure a fun experience for both you and your pup: • Supervised Play Area: Our experienced Off-Leash Hotel team will be on hand to keep an eye on the dogs and facilitate a safe and positive environment. Your dog can run, jump, and play with other small dogs while you relax and enjoy the morning. • Pool Time Fun: For those water-loving pups, our dog-friendly pool will be open and ready for splash time! Let your dog dive in, paddle around, or just cool off from the morning sun. Don’t forget to bring a towel if your dog is ready to make a splash! • Music & Vibes: We’ll have lively music playing to set the mood, keeping the energy upbeat and the tails wagging. It’s all about having a joyful and fun atmosphere, making sure everyone—both two-legged and four-legged—has a great time. • Breakfast Treats: What’s a morning meetup without some delicious breakfast? We’ll have a spread of treats for the humans, including coffee, pastries, and fruit to kickstart your day. Plus, we’ll have dog-friendly snacks available, so your tiny tots won’t feel left out! • Compatibility Evaluation: During the event, our team will observe how well your dog plays and socializes with the other pups. Dogs that show positive interaction and friendly behavior will be eligible to join our regular playgroups, and the best part is, this evaluation—normally a $40 service—is completely free for attendees of this event! Why Attend? This event is a wonderful opportunity to socialize your small dog in a fun and controlled setting. It’s a great way to meet other dog owners in the community, share stories, tips, and connect over a shared love for our furry companions. Whether your pup loves to play chase, take a dip in the pool, or just sniff around, there’s something for everyone at the Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate! Who Should Join? This meetup is ideal for small dogs who enjoy socializing and playing with dogs their own size. Whether your pup is a seasoned playtime pro or a bit shy and needs some encouragement, our staff will be there to help facilitate positive interactions. If you’re looking to give your little dog a great time, this event is made just for you! Important Notes: • Please ensure your dog is up-to-date on all mandatory vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). • All dogs must remain on a leash when entering and exiting the facility. • Pool time is optional, so if your dog isn’t a fan of water, there’s plenty of space to play on dry land! Mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this fun and engaging event for you and your small dog. Let’s create some paw-sitive memories together at Off-Leash Hotel’s Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate! We look forward to seeing you there! For more details or to RSVP, please contact us at hello@offleashhotel.com or 815.322.1485
