Trainer-led boarding & positive-reinforcement training
This is the card every dog goes home with. Kirstie boards just a handful of dogs at a time and trains them the kind way, so yours comes back happy, settled, and a little bit brilliant.
Every dog is different. Pick the stay that fits yours. Or tell us the problem and we'll point you the right way.
The full stay. Your dog lives with us and works with Kirstie every day: house manners, recall, lead walking, calm around other dogs, the lot. You get proper holiday cover, and you come home to a noticeably better-behaved dog.
Comes home with a written training plan + this report card, so you can keep it going.
A home from home for a night, a weekend or a fortnight. Small numbers, real sofas, big walks. Trained handling means even bouncy or nervous dogs settle fast, and you get updates while you're away.
One-to-one, reward-based sessions for the things that matter to you: recall, loose-lead walking, calm greetings, puppy foundations. At your dog's pace, and kept genuinely fun.
The instant your dog gets it right, we mark it with a clear word or a click. No confusion about what earned the reward.
A treat, a toy, a proper fuss. The behaviour just became worth repeating, because your dog chose it.
We build it up gently until it holds up in the real world — in the garden, on the path, and around other dogs.
"Bella went from towing us down the street to walking like a dream. We actually look forward to walks now."
"We went on holiday dreading it. Kirstie sent a photo every day and Milo came home calmer than we've ever seen him."
"Our boy was so anxious with other dogs. Two weeks of Board & Train and he finally believes the world is an okay place."
"The report card made me cry — happy tears. You can tell she genuinely loves every dog that stays."
The best way to choose someone to look after your dog is to meet them. We're a small, home-based set-up, so pop round for a cuppa, have a nosey around, and let your dog have a good sniff about.
Fill this in and Kirstie will get back to you, usually the same day. Prefer to talk? Call or email, whatever's easiest.
Kirstie will be in touch shortly to talk about your dog. Can't wait to meet them.
