Kennels

Each kennel is cleaned and disinfected with pet-safe products daily. Clean water bowls and fresh water each day, along with clean fresh feeding bowls for each feed. Bowls can be provided in any size suitable for your dog, including stands to lift the bowls higher for those larger dogs.

Beds are sanitised and fresh blankets are provided all year round.

All dogs receive a minimum of 20-30 minutes of exercise, twice a day in our secure exercise area with a staff member. During this time, they can explore the area safely whilst having playtime.

We do not mix the dogs staying with us. Exercise time is one-to-one time and gives a personalised service.

Additional training can be completed during this time if requested. Let us embed the training you have already completed, or teach some new commands such as recall. We offer training for all ages of dogs from pets to working dogs.

Additional walks off-site can be purchased. We are surrounded by lovely walks in fields and woodlands for an extra special treat.

We have a passion for and own cocker spaniels. When you visit, you may even get to meet them and say hello. We welcome any questions about gun dogs of all breeds.

The English Cocker is no doubt one of the oldest types of land spaniel. Their origins can be traced back to 14th-century Spain. Prior to the 1600’s all types of spaniels were categorised together; the larger ones were used to spring game and the smaller ones to flush out woodcock. Hence the names Springer and Cocker were derived. In 1892, the Kennel Club of Great Britain differentiated the two breeds separately. In the 1930s, the Cocker was the most popular breed of dog in Britain and there he stayed for almost 20 years! On the other side of the Atlantic, Americans were using the same breeding stock to develop a slightly different Cocker. In 1940, the Kennel Club then split these Spaniels into American and English.

Highly intelligent dogs who are very easily trained, Cockers like to please and are eager to learn.
