Additional Information For Daycare services
In Order to attend our Daycare services dogs must be able to interact in a multi dog environment in a safe manner.
Overly vocal dogs cannot be accepted as we are in a residential area, this includes, excessive frustration barking or attention barking......... we do retrain and correct dogs as part of our day to day training program however we have to be mindful of our neighbours.
Entire males and females cannot be housed together for safety and we ask all owners to spay and neuter dogs at the correct age, if you would like to keep your dog's entire unfortunately we cannot accept them.
Puppies are accepted from 12 weeks of ages once all vaccinations and kennelcough have been completed.
Females in season will not be allowed to attend daycare or boarding services for health and safety, during this time you can arrange to swap to our dog walking service if spaces are available. (Please allow 2 weeks for the dogs season and a following 1 to 2 weeks for calm down times before returning to daycare)
Walks are no extra cost to the customers and dogs will receive walks throughout the week where possible dependent on the routine of the week based on the dogs attending, other variables will be taken into account on the week/ day such as the dogs age, the weather and the dogs health. dogs are usually walked in groups of 3 or 4 dependent on the needs of the dogs scheduled for walks on the day...... we do not let dogs of lead unless they have passed our recall training sessions without any failure of recall, most of our dogs are kept on lead for road walking and training purposes.......some dogs may be taken to fields for long line playtime for a change of environment during their walk hour.
Our routines and polices are always changing and updating as our company grows and DEFRA guidance changes, we strive to provide gold standard care across all our departments, if there's something you would like to see offered at our company please email through your suggestions and feedback!
