A little about us
We have a wealth of experience in handling and managing cats and dogs. This experience comes from our time owning a very successful pet sitting and dog walking business in London. (Some owners now come as far away as London to board their pets with us!) Before that, Chris worked with Highland Ponies, English setters and Labradors – amongst other gun-dogs – and also spent time as a falconry instructor in Scotland.
Chris has attained qualifications in animal welfare and pet behaviour from the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology (COAPE) and we are members of the Association of Licensed Kennel and Cattery owners (ALIKC).

We help pets with behavioural issues
If you have pets with behavioural issues such as nervousness, anxiety or fearfulness, or are just wondering about how to make their day more interesting while you’re at work, we’ve got plenty of experience in coming up with fun and interactive ways for your pets to spend their day!
We also work closely with other C.O.A.P.E. graduates, instructors, vets, dieticians and other behaviourists to develop treatment plans for pets who suffer behavioural issues. As members of C.O.A.P.E. we can provide you with information and access to the Breakthrough Mind to Tail Nutrition complete dog food which helps to manage a range of unwanted behaviours.

Puppy socialisation and its importance
We recommend that anyone who is thinking about getting a puppy or has a puppy, to put the youngster into a kennel for a few days as a part of their socialisation. We socialise and habituate them to other things such as buses, car rides, loud noises, new people, etc. but all too often they miss out on staying in kennels until they’re much older. Once they reach about 13-16 weeks of age, they enter into a ‘Fear-Stage’ in their development, making any new experiences frightening. The sooner they experience a kennel stay, the easier it will be for them later on to manage their new, temporary surroundings. While they are with us, we can cater to just about any special requirements or needs they might have. They may need medication, extra attention or an additional evening treat before bed time. As long as you tell us what they like, we’ll work hard to accommodate their needs.Puppy socialisation and its importance
