Doggie Daycare

Many of our dog clients get excited driving in the driveway, or as they enter Ashhurst and they understand they are on their way to what is in effect, kindergarten.

For this reason we offer doggie day care as a service, where you can leave your canine companion to play to his heart's content while you work.

There are very practical advantages for your pet, Bazil, pictured here with his mate Sam, came to stay five days a week for his formative months, as he was imported to be a stud and show dog. However, he was not confident with strangers and particularly children since the kids next door had teased him. He was also not confident with other dogs, which is not a good trait for a show dog. He also had boundless youthful enthusiasm and would create havoc if left to his own devices.
