- There is a toll-free car park outside the School for you to use with a good sized grassed area for your puppy to spend a penny!
- We ask all owners to wait outside the school by their cars.
- We will open up the school door and call you in one-by-one (so as to avoid any stress to your puppy or so we can assist if they are feeling a bit shy).
SAFETY: Please do not attempt to enter the school unless called in on arrival or if late please ring the bell on the door and wait to be brought in. This is due to there being loose dogs or reactive dogs being brought out. Always wait away from the main entrance.
