We provide home boarding dog care in a friendly comfortable environment. We also offer group walks with other well socialised dogs ensuring that our guests have plenty of stimulation and exercise. As I am a fully qualified groomer, a brush, wash, oral hygiene care or full groom service is also available.
We are always at hand to help out with any training or behaviour questions you may wish to ask. Qualified in Canine Behaviour, Welfare and Training (OFQUAL level 4 diploma); currently working on diplomas level 5 behaviour practioner and level 6 clinical canine behaviour. We have completed numerous CPD courses. Please see Professional Development. We offer 1:1 sessions and following support to help overcome hurdles and find a way forward.
Visits are very welcome.
Come and see if we suit what you are looking for whilst you are on holiday, meeting a busy work schedule or simply needing someone to take good care of your friend when you’re not able to. As fellow pet owners, we understand.
I work alongside Lucy, Woodland Walks. This enables us to offer a full time service.
