Exercise & Play in Boarding Kennels

Ridge Hill Kennels prides itself on the amount of exercise we give our guest dogs.  

All dogs have access to our two securely fenced fields.

All dogs are exercised off the lead in these secure exercise fields.

Dogs are exercised together if they are socialable, this is great for interaction with each other and good for loads of fun exercise.

One of our most enjoyable parts of the job is playing every day with each of the dogs.

Our guest dogs can have as much or as little exercise as they require but will still have interaction with other dogs.

It's much more fun!
