Skinner's Strolls Doggy Day Care

We have a wonderful 2 acres of land, comprised of a grassy paddock and a woodland area. The main paddock is split into three sections, allowing us to separate the dogs into smaller groups based on their age and size. Our double stable block can provide a shady spot in the summer or a cosy ‘nap zone’ in the afternoon. 

One of the smaller paddocks will be primarily used as a puppy zone so that we can ensure safer play and extra enrichment to promote as much learning and development for pups in their early stages. We will be getting this area astro-turfed to keep the young ones as clean and dry as possible and to provide an area for ‘de-mudding’ at the end of the day!

The main paddock and woodland area will have an abundance of agility equipment and suitable toys to keep the dogs entertained and work on some new skills. Certain toys won’t be used in ‘group play’ to prevent any possessive or overly competitive behaviour. 

There will be a ‘nosey zone’ and scent work in the woodland area to stimulate those all important senses of smell.   

A day care environment is a brilliant way for dogs to socialise, learn how to interact with both other dogs and humans, as well as burning off all that countless energy! Our staff will always be nearby for lots of cuddles and to capture action packed pictures so you can see what your dog gets up to every day. Human interaction has been suggested to improve a dogs confidence, reduce their anxiety and provide positive reinforcements.
