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.

What kind of training can be done with my dog during their individual training slot?

Our aim is to improve upon your puppy or dog’s skills. This could be teaching them new behaviours such as a “settle”, “middle” or “down”. Or improving upon their loose lead walking, recall and on-lead greetings with others.

Can my puppy attend daycare?

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.

How does the waiting list work?

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.

What is the vetting process?

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.

Do I need to commit to regular sessions, or can I book ad hoc?

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.

Do dogs need to be neutered or spayed to attend daycare?

No, our daycare service is run by accredited trainers who have a comprehensive understanding of canine body language. Dogs will be closely supervised in small groups. Dogs currently in season may not attend until their season is finished.

My dog requires regular medication, can they attend daycare?

Yes, as long as they are fit and well they can attend daycare. All of our staff have passed their Ofqual Level 3 Canine First Aid qualification and we are able to suitably store and administer medications according to instructions.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We have a 4-star license with higher standards, with Elmbridge Council.
