Happy Hounds Coventry Dog Walking and Day Care

Here at Happy Hounds Coventry, we don’t just offer dog day care. Our daily training walks inluded with every session, are designed to be fun yet educational.

Being responsible dog walkers, we use our very own private rural paddocks to ensure all dogs have reliable recall, good manners and lead skills before they graduate to one of our big adventure walks. Our secure areas are a safe space to build confidence, practice basic skills and introduce stimulating brain games to our varied sessions.

Our group walks are interactive as well as adventurous, and dogs are required to demonstrate key skills thoughout the sessions. Members of the public often look on in awe as the whole group sit and happily pose for their photoshoot, exhibiting their exceptional sit and stay skills.

On each and every group dog walk, we encourage calmness and engagement through mental stimulation. Key activities include; foraging (hidden treats, finding blackberries), tree climbing (introducing new textures and heights), agility (at our secure paddocks), photo posing (working on distance, duration & distraction) and recall games. All of these mental and physical activities, ensure calmness and good beahviour on our varied walks.

Did you know that five minutes of scent work is equivalent to a 30 minute walk?

What differentiates our dog day care from other companies, is our keen understanding of dog behaviour and body language, allowing us to manage dog on dog interaction. If possible, we ensure dogs are placed into breed appropriate groups, where they are able to demonstrate good play styles and behaviours. Barging, biting or sitting on heads isn’t allowed and good dog manners are encouraged at all times. Not all dogs want to play, and it’s important that they are given the space they need, for time out, should they need it.
