There is lots of ongoing research into dog psychology and importantly how they relate to us as humans. Reading some of this recently it made me smile how much dogs are still learning at a pace to understand and work with us as humans. I thought this month I would share some of this with you.

So we’ve all probably heard something about the new Microchipping laws that came into place on the 6th of April 2016. From experience of talking to owners however not everyone is clear on what these really mean and what they should be doing and so I thought it would be worth reiterating the requirements in this month’s article.

"Just amazing...my Ridgeback died in another kennels when I was on holiday. Sally my new rescue has been a few times already and she loves it. I as worried about leaving her but I wouldn't hesitate leaving her overnight now. She was abandoned and suffers from separation anxiety but all the staff know her issues and give her love and cuddles. The kennels are the best I have ever seen and she doesn't miss me at all...you are a lifesaver and Sally is now a regular x"

"We used the pet transport service. The van and cage were clean and just right for our pet."

"The kennels are clean and well set out. The paddock is such a bonus for plenty of exercise and the photos sent via email confirm that are dogs are ok good hands while we are away"
Claire & Auryn (5th September 2016)
"Booked an hour this morning for my retired greyhound who has regular off leash time in my large garden, but otherwise has to settle for on-lead walks around the local area and park where areas are not fully enclosed. We lost his adopted brother a couple of weeks back and both of us needed a distraction from grieving, in a safe play environment. Was lovely to watch him run, wander and roam around completely safely in the Play Paddock today and even put his paws in water! The area affords complete peace of mind with safe grassy area and safe, high fences. He is friendly with all - but I could tell by his reaction to people passing that he enjoyed interacting with the staff there and that they genuinely cared for dogs. Would definitely book again and would encourage group bookings and friends to have 'gotcha' anniversaries/parties there for rescue dogs etc."
Jules Foster (24th October 2018)
"Great location in the fields, lovely knowledgeable and caring staff, clean and spacious kennels, they can't do enough for you and your pet."
