Our Services

Daycare

Helping Your Dog Grow

When you drop your dog off, they step into a bespoke world of structured enrichment, expert-led play and social confidence building—so you can focus on your work without a second thought. Our trainers boost their confidence, refine their manners and teach practical skills for a calmer, happier homecoming.

Pick Up & Play

More than a walk

We pick up your dog and bring them into our specialist environment so you can carry on with your day, worry-free. Instead of a basic walk of fresh air and a quick stretch, we provide a personalised midday refresh tailored to their energy and personality. Including high-energy workouts and agility challenges, stimulating puzzles and games, and bonding with compatible playmates. Then dropped home mentally fulfilled, ready for a peaceful afternoon

Puppies

Helping Puppies Start Right

You have one chance to set your puppy up for life. In the critical first 10–20 weeks, your pup absorbs everything, so our Puppy Start Right trainers guide them toward lifelong confidence and calm behaviour. We build polite manners, sharpen focus, foster social confidence and teach foundational skills. Relax knowing you’ve given your puppy the best start and look forward to a calmer, happier, better-behaved companion for years to come.

Hotel

Rooms. No kennels.

You deserve peace of mind knowing your dog sleeps overnight in a private, warm and cosy room, no bars, no noise, snuggled among their daytime friends. Soft classical music soothes them as they rest, while our team monitors their comfort through the night. Plus, you’ll receive regular photos and written updates so you can share in every cosy moment, returning to a happy, well rested dog.

Grooming

A Stress-Free Experience

Our senior groomer has over 15 years experience grooming dogs, and our second groomer also happens to be our owner, who’s a trained behaviourist, trainer and puppy start right instructor. Together their experience makes for a groom like no other, providing a great look and great experience for your dog. Their happiness is our number one priority.
