A structured daycare that improves your dog's behaviour
Your dog comes home calmer, more confident, and better-behaved. Every day is structured by qualified trainers to build good habits through play, routine, and positive reinforcement.
Limited assessment spaces available. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Qualified behaviourists
Certified trainers
Many daycares offer little more than supervised chaos.
Dogs run together in large, unstructured groups: overstimulated, undersupervised, and reinforcing the very behaviours you are trying to change. Jumping, barking, ignoring commands. These do not improve with more unstructured play. They get worse.
Overstimulation
Large, unmanaged groups create anxiety and hyperactivity that follows your dog home.
No behaviour guidance
Jumping, barking, and rough play go uninterrupted and become habits.
No accountability
You drop off your dog and have no idea what actually happened during the day.
We are dog trainers first.
Oxford Pet Whisperers is not a daycare that offers training as an add-on. We are qualified behaviourists and trainers who run a structured, professional environment. Every session is led by our trainers. Every interaction is an opportunity to reinforce good behaviour. We operate like a nursery, not a play park.
Structured environment
Every day has a routine of play, training, and structured rest, mirroring the consistency dogs need to thrive.
Qualified team
IMDT, iPET, and Puppy Start Right certified trainers and behaviourists. Qualified professionals who understand canine behaviour.
Real outcomes
Dogs come home calmer, more focused, and better-mannered. Owners notice the difference within weeks.
How to get started
A simple, low-pressure process designed around your dog.
Book an assessment
We start by getting to know your dog, how they behave, what they need, and whether the environment is the right fit.
Trial day and recommendation
Your dog spends time with us so we can see how they settle, interact, and respond. We then guide you on the best way forward.
Choose what works for you
From regular attendance to more flexible options, we will recommend the approach that best supports your dog's development.
Dogs who attend regularly tend to make the most progress.
We respond within one working day.
Everything your dog needs, in one place.
Give your puppy the right start
The first few months shape your dog for life.
Confidence, social skills, and behaviour are not things that just happen. They are built through the right environment, structure, and guidance at the right time.
Your puppy learns how to be calm around other dogs, how to settle, and how to make good choices, all within a safe, trainer-led environment designed specifically for early development.
You are not just socialising your puppy. You are setting them up for a lifetime of better behaviour.
We will confirm your assessment within one working day.
Real results for real dogs.
From rescue dogs gaining confidence to puppies starting right.
"Being a veterinary surgeon, the care of my pets is of the utmost importance to me, and I have been so happy with Nat and her team. I recommend her to all of my clients."

"Quite a unique dog care centre. It combines daycare, boarding and training all in one and focusses on dog socialisation, behaviour, enrichment, fun and behaviour which other dog care places just don't do."

"From our dog's perspective, the difference has been amazing. She's become so much more confident, always comes home happy, well exercised, and ready for a nap after so much playtime and fun!"

"OPW have been fantastic with Fox. She is a rescue and can be a little highly strung, but all the staff have shown her nothing but kindness and patience. She has grown in confidence since being with them."
