About dog walks/playtime with staff

Dog Walks at the Boarding Kennels

We walk the dogs once a day on leads around the large land surrounding the farm where Animal Country Club is based. The dogs enjoy their country walks everyday and if they get along with pother dogs, we will pair them or walk them in small groups which they enjoy. 

In the warmer weather we sometimes take the dogs down to the river which is nice and shallow for them to cool off and have a dip and splash about!
