Staff & Knowledge
We have 3 full-time staff working in our kennels.
Our staff ratio is: 1 Staff : 7 Kennels
About our staff, knowledge and experience:
I have a H.N.D in Animal Management and a distinction in the Kennel & Cattery Management course which has been designed by the Pet Care Trust to ensure Senior staff & Management are suitably trained.
I have also completed a course in Dog Grooming & Clipping & intend to attend a further grooming course later in the year.
All the staff I employ are dog lovers & are trained in undestanding the different temperaments & behaviour of various breeds & how to treat each visitor as an individual with individual needs
During the winter I manage the running of the kennels myself but in the summer I employ at least 2 members of staff to enable the dogs to have the level of care necessary whilst we are busy.
I am a member of the Pet Care Trust and the Kennel & Cattery Association.
Our Kennels
We have 22 Kennels with:
Attached runs
They were built in 1989 and are licensed for up to 22 dogs.
We’re proud to say we have a maximum of 10 kennels in any section of any building. (The ideal is a maximum of 10 kennels per section)
Dog Exercise & Play
Dogs get out of their Rooms for exercise
We’re proud to say dogs DO get out of their kennels here. We know how important it is (mentally and physically) for dogs to play, sniff, run around and stretch their legs.
About dog exercise with our Dog Hotel
The dogs are walked individually twice daily.
Once in a morning & once before they are fed in the afternoon.
In addition they are let into a secure pen for a play & off lead exercise at least once through the day & again at night before they are put to bed.
Walks, Exercise & Play with Staff
Dogs exercised by staff
20 minutes of walks/exercise with staff provided daily
We’re proud to say we offer walks/ exercise/ playtime WITH staff.
We know how important it is for dogs to have our company one-to-one. It’s much more fun!
About walks & play
The dogs are walked at the side of a small dyke, on grass where there are plenty of interesting smells (fox, badger, ducks, wild birds etc) as well as other dogs.
If the weather is wet the dogs are walked up a small private road, so there is no risk of getting too wet or muddy.
The exercise paddocks are also grassed & have paths around the perimiter of the kennels.
The staff are encouraged to let each dog out for free play at least twice a day & there is always a dog in each paddock throughout the day.

Caring for Dogs
Care of Easy-going & Steady Dogs
If a dog wishes to have a steady amble while on his walk this is perfectly acceptable and if the dog wishes to return to the kennels he will be brought back.
Through the day dogs can choose whether to stay on their beds or be outside in their pens.
Dogs are not forced to be outside if they do not wish to do so.
Care of Active Dogs
Extended leads are used during walks with dogs and they are encouraged to run around whilst on their walk.
If their owners assure us they are trained to return to a command after a time in the kennels they will be taken under supervision on a free run across the field.
Daycare Dogs
Dogs are designated a particular kennnel where owners can leave their dog before the kennels are officially opened and can collect their dog after the kennels are officially closed.
We can either walk and feed the dogs before the owners return or leave them for their owners to walk and feed.
Special rates are given for long term regular day care.
