Doggies Friend
ABOUT US
We are a day care centre for dogs with a 350sqm indoor and over 100sqm of outdoor space where your dog can safely and securely roam free. Our indoor space is divided into 4 main areas; a main arena with lots of apparatus and toys for dogs to play with; a small dog area where we can separate small breeds from larger dog breeds; and a chill-out area where your dog can go to get some rest in a homelike environment that is carpeted and has sofas and lots of dog beds. Our Large outdoor area is Astro Turfed allowing use in all weathers! In the summer we put out paddling pools and hose pipes so that your dog can enjoy water play and cool off. In Winter our centre is fully heated, with central heating throughout and underfloor heating in our main room! We also have several other small areas where we can separate your dog completely if they become ill or if playtime gets too much. Because we are large daycare centre, we only ask you to book in advance so that we can arrange to have a good ratio of staff to dogs but to also guarantee your space here at Doggies Friend. All of our day care staff love dogs and have dogs of their own. They are all trained in pet first aid and are equipped with the essential skills to apply First Aid to your Dog should the need arise. We are the only dog care provider of its kind in the Daventry area!
WHY DAYCARE?
We believe that dogs shouldn’t be left alone for long periods. As group animals they need companionship. Most dogs will become anxious and stressed from being left alone and require constant stimulation and attention to be happy. At day care your dog will always have company and lots to do. Because we have a large centre, we always have lots of different dogs with us at any one time, so your dog will have the opportunity to socialise with lots of different breeds, allowing them to grow in confidence. By letting your dog mix with other dogs on a regular basis your dog will become more relaxed around other dogs. Intelligent breeds such as Border Collie & Poodle will get the stimulation they need throughout the day making them calmer. Energetic breeds such as Retrievers or Terriers will tire themselves out, allowing you to have a relaxing evening. Nervous dogs will get used to being around other dogs. Day Care is great if you need somewhere for your dog to go whilst you work, have the day out planned, have renovation work going on at home, if they can’t manage a walk but you want them to have the stimulation and interaction they need or if you just want them to come and play and socialise with other dogs.
DOG TRAINING
As well as daycare we also offer training. This can be while your dog is at daycare or it can be with you in our training room. Your dog does not need to attend daycare in order to do training with me.
I am all about positive, force-free training. I study up-to-date, modern, science-based methods and that is exactly what I put into practice.
Positive training has been proven to be the most effective, long-term solution to training a dog, as opposed to other methods that will produce short-term results that seem to be successful. These methods often create more behavioural issues than they solve, and rarely, take the dogs’ emotional well-being into consideration.
I will always take the dogs’ health and well-being into account in every session.
Training should be fun for everyone and an enjoyable experience for the dog. Helping everyone have a good relationship, becoming a team while creating more desirable behaviours.
