Why use Surrey Dog School
Some of our unique selling points
Vetted applications
Dogs and puppies will be carefully vetted to ensure that the daycare environment is best suited for their social development.
Limited Numbers
We do not accept the maximum number of dogs that our licence allows. Smaller numbers allow us to provide superior levels of supervision and give each dog the attention and care they deserve.
Dog First Aid
Our full team of staff have completed the Ofqual Level 3 Qualification in Canine First Aid.
Run By accredited trainers
Our trainers are highly accredited with the industry's leading body, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and have completed relevant courses such as Ofqual Level 3 in Daycare.
dog training
With 30 minutes of individual training per full day, we can help work on a specific training issue such as loose lead walking, recall, polite greetings, scentwork and much more!
Walks
Walks take place on our private fields, in small groups, with maximum of 4 dogs walked at once of suitable sizes and ages.
Our indoor facilites were refurbished in 2023 to the highest standards required for our daycare licence.

Yes, we take puppies from 12 weeks, once their second set of vaccinations is complete. Puppies will automatically be booked into our “Juniors” area and be looked after by a specialist puppy trainer. As well as training, fun and enrichment, adequate rest breaks will be included as part of their day. Any meals provided will be suitably stored and given according to your instructions.
We will be taking expressions of interest through our website from April. Following this, you will be sent a registration form and suitable dogs will be invited for assessments. We have had an overwhelming amount of interest, so clients who have trained with Surrey Dog School will be prioritised.
Not all dogs are suited to the daycare environment and there will be a careful vetting process to ensure that daycare is the best place for your dog’s social development.
Many people think that socialising their dog in a daycare environment will solve training problems around other dogs, when this is not the case. If your dog is reactive, nervous or has any issues around other dogs, we will require training to take place first before considering admittance to daycare.
As we are a small group daycare, we do require a commitment to keep your dog’s regular slot. This ensures that the dogs in each group are familiar and settled around each other. Should you no longer want to attend daycare, there is a 30-day notice period.
