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.
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.
Now, after a little discipline, the dogs are placed into group so they can have some fun time to let off some steam.
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.
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.
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.
If you are new to Norman’s Dog Day Care, you will need to come for a taster session and induction first, simply give us a call to arrange.
