Doggy Daycare
Our doggy daycare provides a safe, stimulating environment for dogs in South Stoke. With 5-star grading and advanced behaviourists on staff, we offer supervised play, exercise, and socialisation. Dogs enjoy rural walks, interactive games, and continuous care in a spacious facility with river access. Our service ensures pets return tired and happy while maintaining high welfare standards.
Behavioural Training
Specialised behavioural training delivered by Level 4 qualified professionals. Using positive reinforcement techniques, we address puppy training needs and adult dog behaviour issues. Services include home visits, consultation sessions, and group classes. Our approach focuses on empathy and understanding, creating tailored solutions for anxiety, aggression, and obedience challenges while strengthening owner-pet relationships.
Pet Sitting
Professional in-home pet sitting services maintaining pets' routines while owners are away. Our DBS-certified sitters provide feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. Overnight stays available with pre-visit consultations to understand specific requirements. We serve South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire, offering peace of mind through regular updates and photo reports during visits.
Puppy Socialising
Monthly puppy socialisation sessions led by BCCS Advanced Behaviourists. Structured classes for puppies up to 12 months focus on early development, confidence building, and basic obedience. Activities include playtime with peers, sound desensitisation, and interactive training. Sessions help prevent future behavioural issues while teaching social skills in a controlled environment with expert supervision.
Dog Walking
Tailored dog walking services avoiding public areas for safety and comfort. Our experienced walkers use private vehicles to transport dogs to scenic rural locations. Walks include enrichment activities and socialisation opportunities while maintaining individual attention. We ensure consistent exercise routines that match each dog's energy levels and physical capabilities.
