My main priorities

To work with both owners and dogs

To understand the needs of both pet dogs and working dogs, and to help owners achieve the very best for their dogs

To provide an excellent service and unrivalled level of care and attention to detail for every dog in my care, whether it be through day care or training.

I am able to offer a service fully tailored to each individual clients needs. Taking into consideration each dogs routine, temperament and breed. I fully understand the needs of working pet owners and will work around your schedule to enable the best care for your dog.

Working and Security dogs are catered for separately to my pet clients needs, and owners can feel assured that I have the expertise and facilities to deal with their dogs.

Both outdoor and indoor facilities are provided for optimum care. I also have excellent facilities for exercising and stimulating all types of dogs.

Equally so, the relaxing countryside environment is perfect for dogs that need time out to either relax, recouperate or have a break from working.

Elderly or infirm dogs that need special treatment are fully catered for within my home.

Dogs are transported safely and securely in excellent quality carriers supplied by LINTRAN of Lincoln. (Please ask for details should you be interested in finding out more)
