Karen and Trevor's passion has always been dogs of all shapes, sizes and, breeds.

We have had years of fun with our own dogs in a varity of disciplines. They have both attended a number of courses and seminers for our canine friends including The Mind Set of the Dog and Dog First Aid.

Trevor is The Field Trial Secertary of The Eastern Counties Golden Retriever Club, and organisers their Field Trials.

Gill who is an important part of the team simply loves dogs, and is happiest when exercising her charges and giving them tender loving care.

Working with us each day is Lisa, Kim, Jess, & Richard

We also have Jess, Zoe, Ashley, Hayley, Jemma who all work at least one day per week as part of their animal study courses that they study at either Norwich or GT. Yarmouth Colleges.

We have 3 kennel blocks.

Our Courtyard kennels designed for our smaller guests, these all have sleeping areas with a run and range in size from 57 sq ft to 101 sq ft. This allows a family of 2 small dogs to share.

We have 4 very large family units averaging  in size of 78 sq ft sleeping area with a 247 sq ft attached covered run. 

The rest of our kennels are above average size and can take 2 Labrador size dogs and average 40 sq ft sleeping area with up to 160 sq ft covered attached run. 

Our kennels are of the highest standard.

All are of room height, and are heated.

The sleeping area is fully tiled floor to ceiling, as are all the outside run floors, making it very highinic, and easy to clean.

The dividing run walls are of brickwork and again full height.  

However pleasant and spacious the kennels and attached runs are nothing beats the excitement and interest generated by exercise.

We have a routine two sessions per Guest per day and, from our Courtyard units four excursions.

We recognise that kennels exercise cannot be compared to that which you do at home, so to make the day more intresting treats are given between exercise sessions.

The large individual attached runs - up to 300 sq. ft. in area - always have an availability of toys to bounce or chew!

Out of the kennels a fully enclosed paddock and two secure exercise compounds for off lead play enables us to vary activities.

Our exercise facility's are second to none.

With 0ne large paddock (2 acre's)that is fully enclosed leading down to own private woods for off lead exercise and a further one and a half acre paddock for those customers who prefer their dogs to be lead walked, plus we have two large enclosures for the smaller/elderly guests to play off lead.

It is the most time consuming activity in the kennel routine but also one of the most rewarding - the oportunity for one to one sessions in a pleasurable environment allows Guest and Walker to bond and is one of the reasons we enjoy this business so much - even when the weather makes it wet and cold! (A warm towel rub down back in the kennel makes even the wettest of days worthwhile!!)

We are happy to have familier toys although ban 'squeakers' as a health hazard.

We are keen to see Owners bring an item of personal clothing with their scent.

Bedding items such as blankets are encouraged.

Cloth beds/duvet type items are discouraged as difficult to clean to the standard we seek.

All accommodation is suitable.

These guests tend to fit in to the kennel routine very easily.

Exercised at least twice a day with paddock walks.

Cavalier Lodge is perfect for the more active dog, with our large 2 acre paddock. 

We use tennis ball launchers for those dogs who love the chase of a ball.

The interaction between guest and staff is vital during their exercise period, as a happy dog is a contented dog. 

Provided accommodation within our Courtyard block of eight units which enables simplified drop of and pick up minimising disturbance to our longer stay guests.

Day guests enjoy the same kennel routine.

We design arrival and departure before the morning feed and after afternoon feed.
