Whether you're heading away for the weekend, tackling a busy work schedule, or simply taking time for yourself, Paws & Relax offers your dog a calm, caring home from home vibe where they can truly settle.
For dog's who thrive on routine, are building confidence, or simply find the world a bit over-whelming, we maintain familiar patterns and reinforce the calm, because consistency doesn't have to stop when you're away from your dog.
We create an environment where dogs can feel safe, understood and completely at ease with opportunities to sniff, explore as well as resting and recharging.

Full Day: (08:00 - 18:30) - £30

Sometimes your dog doesn't need a full reset, they just need a bit of focused time to strengthen what's already there. Paws & Refocus is designed for the dogs who have all the foundations in place, but would benefit from some targeted support in their training.
This option provides short, focused training stays that zoom in on one key area. The aim isn't to overhaul everything, it's to fine tune a skill. Giving clarity and confidence to an already consistent foundation.
Each stay is tailored to the dog as an individual, with a calm structure and plenty of encouragement. We then work closely with you to transfer the improvements into every day life.
