Norman's Dog Day Care | Dog Day Care in Over, Cambridgeshire

Norman’s Dog Day Care has arrived in the lovely village of Over and is the brainchild of Tamsin-Jane Channell. After completing her BA Hons in Professional Practice in Canine Behaviour and Psychology she really wanted to do something to help with some of the more common behaviour issues that stem from leaving your dog at home for long periods of time whilst working.

The dog day care centre – named after the family’s Newfoundland – has been created to deal with dogs who are left at home whilst owners are at work. The environment is very different from any other dog day care. The days are structured with walks, play, learning, training and did we mention fun? There is plenty of that. Everything we do here at Norman’s is done to create a fun safe environment for your dog. Every dog who is considered for Norman’s Dog Day Care has a behavioural examination and the staff work together with a training plan specifically catered for your canine.

Daily Activities

We start the dog day care with socialisation with the other dogs in day care. The dogs are split into different groups. The smaller dogs are kept together so they don’t get bounced around by some of our bigger friends. All dogs who are over the age of 9 months get a lovely 45 minute walk in the beautiful fields surrounding the village of Over. We then return to the day care centre for lunches and treats and a little snooze before the canine enrichment and afternoon training activities commence.

Dog Training

Daily slots are allocated for one-to-one tuition. This can cover anything from help with recall, pulling on the lead, counter surfing and general manners. We also do more advanced training, such as getting your dog to ring bells, turn off light switches and open doors.

Play Time

Now, after a little discipline, the dogs are placed into group so they can have some fun time to let off some steam.

Down Time

Yes, you got it. The dogs are even taught how to relax and have some down time. This is especially helpful for dogs who find it hard to relax. We use canine massage and Tellington Touch techniques on the dogs to help them relax.

Afternoon Hide & Seek

We have designed our outside space to be fun. There are plenty of things to find, including yummy treats and, of course, their favourite toys.

Agility or Crazy Ball Launcher

Time for a whizz around on the agility course - great way to mentally and physically stimulate your dog. If your dog loves ball games then he or she is going to love our remote ball launcher. For the more chilled out canines, we have dog games which will give them a great mental workout.

What our clients say

Would highly recommend Norman’s my dog has been going for a few weeks now and has a great time. The staff are also amazing and I know all the dogs are well looked after while they are there. Thank you all

Debbie Brown

TJ and all her staff are amazing! Arlo loves going so much! they have helped as with training and nothing is too much trouble. I love the photos and videos that are posted and getting to see what our boy is up to during the day! we wouldn’t take Arlo anywhere else!

Gemma Louise Hutchins

Norman’s has been an absolute life saver since we got our boy last summer. He gets so over excited at the mention of the word that “day care” has become a banned word in our house! We’re very lucky to have found a day care where we can leave Alfie and have absolutely 0 concerns that he’ll be well looked after, and have an amazing day. Thank you so much TJ and the team for looking after our boy so well!

Krissi Scott

Having a puppy and working full time wouldn’t be an option for me without Norman’s. Roo is so excited when I get him out of the car to see all his friends which I think says it all! Tamsin and her team treat him with so much love and care and I trust them 100% with him. It’s lovely to be able to go to work and not stress about what he is doing during the day because I know that he is in the best hands and having the best fun! I would recommend Norman’s to everyone!

Cath Johnson

Norman’s is amazing. When our pup, Wapi, first arrived she was very nervous around other dogs. A few weeks later she was a completely different dog. She had suddenly had confidence and had started to really enjoy playing with the other dogs. Thanks so much to TJ and everyone else for how they have handled Wapi and boosted her confidence.

Tom Neumark

Max has been attending Norman’s for a while now. As a rescue dog Max had quite a few issues when he first came to me. Max settled into doggy daycare quickly and loves it. At daycare TJ began to train Max to help around the home which is a great way to channel his energy and over enthusiasm. Max loves Rally O. I have learnt so much here, which has helped me to become a more confident owner and given me the tools to continue with training. Gradually thanks to TJ and her team I have watched Max overcome his poor start in life, increase in confidence and overcome his fears. He spent his first holiday paddling in the sea everyday, a big achievement for a dog who used to be petrified of water. He is also a great help around the home! Thank you TJ and all of your team, you are all amazing.
