OUR SERVICES
BOARDING
A contemporary, forward thinking approach to boarding has found favour with our visitors and their owners. Our mandate is to provide a stress free, home from home experience, with as much free running playtime and “chillaxing” time, as possible. This necessitates dogs being well socialised as they are integrated into groups that match their temperaments and activity levels. We do have limited facilities for unsocialised dogs, which enjoy the benefits to who spacious runs as well as exercise time.
Own food and beds are supplied, ensuring as little disruption as possible, to routine. Shaggy Chic sunrises and sunsets are the favourite time of the day for us, and, weather permitting, the day starts and ends with a free run in the field, with loads to keep visitors busy, in between.
Special medication and treats are administered, upon request. We also cater for fully inoculated young puppies as well as special needs, frail and elderly dogs. All vaccinations need to be up to date, including kennel cough and deworming and a tick and flea treatment needs to be completed prior to arrival. Due to the exclusive nature of our offering, early booking is essential.
DOGGY DAY CARE
Dogs are social creatures and pack animals by nature. Our busy lives mean that many of them do not have company and stimulation during the day, often resulting in destructive behaviour like chewing, digging as well as barking.
DOG PARK
We offer a safe and secure dog park, for free running and off lead exercise. Owners can either book the field privately if they have unsocialised dogs or walk with other dogs and their owners. Basic agility equipment and toys are available and we encourage humans to bring a book or a bottle of wine and enjoy some time outdoors! Yes, you may also run around the field and over the obstacles if you wish!
The field may also be booked for birthday parties, rescue organisation functions and get togethers, club get togethers and other non-dog related events.
PUPPY SOCIALISING
An unsupervised young puppy is a licence for destruction, damage and other behavioural issues associated with boredom.
Puppies are integrated with other dogs of a similar age group and receive developmental stimulation associated with this age group. It is also important not to over exercise a young dog, so all exercise is supervised and gentle.
GROOMING
Want to include a spa treatment for your dog, either as part of a day care visit or seperately? Contact us for our service offering and your pooch will go home smelling like roses!
We use show quality products for grooming on our dogs. We are also able to groom visitors prior to departure; please ensure that you request this service and we will quote you accordingly
Our grooming offering includes free tummy tickles and a massage.
DOG TRAINING
Basic, private obedience training can be offered, based on a brief. In addition to this our field is utilised by a number of obedience clubs and we also work in association with the Canine Performance Centre, located in Blue Hills. These clubs offer group obedience training for dogs as well as agility training.
SHOW TRAINING/RINGCRAFT
Owners wishing to show their pedigreed dog in conformation competitions are welcome to book for a series of show training lessons. A basic introduction into the world of show dogs, and basic ringcraft as well as ring procedures is offered, all of which is often daunting for newcomers.
