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 - in other words, for dogs to be dogs!
About dog exercise with our Boarding Kennels & Home Boarding:
Dog are exercised as requested by their owner as we do not want to over exercise or under exercise. They are walked once or twice a day for as long as their owner wants. As some young dogs need lots of walking and older dogs need little and often to keep them happy. Walks are off road in the wonderful Derbyshire countryside. All dogs are kept on lead on walks for safety reasons, they can have off lead fun in the dog gardens In bad weather we put coats on the dogs so they don't get wet and cold unless they don't want to go out in the rain. Many other forms of exercise includes walks, ball games and bubble machine Also free range of dog gardens. The dog gardens are designed with the dog in mind and we are alway looking for ways to improve and make them as fun as possible. In the evening after evening play time we have a wind down and sit with the dogs in on the couch to read and watch TV before sleep time, much as most dogs are used to at home.

Dog Walks/Exercise/Playtime with Staff:
Dogs exercised with staff: 
60 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 dog walks/playtime with staff with our Rooms:
Walks are on lead only to ensure safety of dogs. Distance and frequency will be different for each dog and the weather. In the hot summer we walk in the evening so dogs do not get over heated as this can be dangerous and uncomfortable for dogs. They can go swimming in hot weather too. In the winter if the weather is bad we put waterproofs on the dogs and make sure they are warm and dry when they get home, if the weather is really awful we play indoor games and stay in the warm and dry as we have found that some dogs are not happy going out in bad weather and we only want them to be happy. Ball games and other games are provided during the day.

Dog Welfare & Settling In:

About our care of special needs dogs:
We are happy to take dogs with special needs however if your dog is very ill, it may be best to consider staying at home as any time away from you maybe to stressful for your dog when they are ill. as with humans its best to be at home when you feel under the weather We can not take any dog that posses a risk to other dogs Elderly dogs are catered for but we advise not to leave your dog in the last years of its life, try to arrange holidays with your dog so you can make the best of every moment of their time with you. We keep a constant check on dogs well being noting any change in the dogs health or wellbeing and keeping a check on their weight. If any dog in our care appears ill we will take it to the vet, we have our own vet but where possible we try to use the dogs own vets. We feed all the dogs the same as they get at home, we can provide food or dogs can bring their own. We are happy to cater for all diets.
