What You Might Be Wondering

Honest answers to the questions we hear most.

We welcome dogs from around 12 weeks old, once they’ve had the appropriate vaccinations. What matters most isn’t just age — it’s readiness. Every dog is different, and we’ll guide you on what feels right for them.

We don’t offer single trial days. Instead, we offer a full week’s trial — because dogs need time to settle, build trust, and understand the environment. Across the week, they meet the team gradually, integrate into the right groups, and begin to feel safe and familiar. You’ll receive updates, videos, and a full picture of how they’re settling.

Yes — but with care and honesty. Some dogs need more support before joining a group environment, and we’ll always guide you on what’s best for them. We work with the dog in front of us — not labels — and everything is done at their pace.

Dogs are placed into small, carefully matched groups based on energy, temperament, confidence, and play style. This allows them to feel safe, understood, and able to be themselves.

Every day flows naturally between structured walks, enrichment, social time, and rest and reset. We follow the dogs’ energy — not a rigid schedule — creating a balanced, fulfilling day.

Everything we do supports regulation: calm arrivals, soft music in transport, balanced group energy, and rest periods built into the day. Dogs co-regulate with us — so our energy matters just as much as theirs.

Yes — collection and drop-off are included. Pick-up times are typically between 8:30–9:30am, depending on your area. Drop-off follows the same route, allowing each dog a full, balanced day.

If you’re outside our collection area, you’re very welcome to bring your dog to us and collect them at the end of the day. For the right dogs and families, this can work beautifully — and we’re always open to finding what feels aligned for everyone.

Dogs are returned settled and calm, towel dried and cleaned, and emotionally fulfilled. If you’re not home, we follow your instructions — settling them in, refreshing water, and making sure they’re comfortable.

Yes — but in a way that feels meaningful, not overwhelming. We share important updates when needed, videos and progress during their journey, and deeper insights when we notice changes. You’ll always know how your dog is doing — without constant noise.

Yes — but suitability depends on the individual dog, not just breed or size. Our focus is always the right environment, the right group, and the right support.

Yes. We offer flexible options — but consistency is key. Dogs who attend regularly tend to settle faster, build stronger bonds, and get the most from the experience.

We don’t just look after dogs — we understand them. Everything is built around connection, communication, emotional wellbeing, and natural behaviour. It’s not just daycare. It’s a space where dogs get to be dogs.
