Enrichment-Led Care That Goes Far Beyond What's Expected

-
Free-Roam Enrichment Play

-
Behaviour-First Handling
Our qualified behaviourists and team members actively shape positive social skills, not just watch from the sidelines.
-
Structured Rest & Recovery
Calm, cosy nap time built into every day so dogs go home genuinely tired & not overstimulated.

Daily Report Cards & Photos
See exactly what your dog got up to, who they played with, what they enjoyed and how they've behaved.

Enhance their day with one of our premium add-ons. Booked alongside any session, these services make the experience genuinely complete and your life easier. For them and for you.
Go Home Smelling Fresh
A warm bath and professional blow-dry right before collection. No smelly paws, no wet dog smell. They arrive home clean, calm, and smelling amazing.
Nail Clip & Feet trimmed
Done while they're already relaxed and comfortable with us, this can be far less stressful than a vet or groomer. No drama, no fuss, no extra appointments
Teeth Cleaning
A gentle, silent way to keep your dog's teeth clean and their breath fresh. Our ultrasonic toothbrush targets plaque and bacteria without scrubbing or noise.

Loved By Dog Families Since 2017
"My dog has been going for 8 years and still drags me to the door every morning. The attention to detail is incredible — from daily photo updates to thoughtful report cards. They feel more like family than a day care."
"Outstanding facility. The team are knowledgeable behaviourists who go above and beyond every single day — theme weeks, agility, water play, 1:1 training. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"Our 6-month-old puppies were cared for as if they were their own. The communication is brilliant and the report cards with pictures are awesome. I have no hesitation recommending Pooch's Yard."
"The whole set up and the yard team are simply the best. Our dog absolutely loves it and comes home happy and exhausted every time. Exactly what a working dog owner needs."
"All the team make such an effort with dogs and owners. They are always doing different activities throughout every day. I could not say a bad word about this business. Highly recommended."
"Archie has been visiting since it opened - over 7 years. As soon as I open the car boot, he's scratching the door to get in. What more of a vote of confidence can one offer?"
