No, not at this time.
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.
Yes, we take puppies from two weeks after their second set of vaccinations are complete. “Puppy Socials” on Friday mornings are dedicated to puppies under 6 months of age and focus on learning social skills, appropriate play and settling around other puppies. 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. Puppies can also join general daycare sessions with older dogs throughout the week and will be grouped by temperament.
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.
Ad hoc days can be booked once your dog has an active membership and are subject to availability.
