Dog Walking

Dog Walking

Our dog walking service is for when you are out at work, out for afternoon tea, meeting people where dogs cannot go or simply just to wear your dog out from all the energy it has!

£15 per hour (weekday)
£18 per hour (weekend)

With Bright Days Dog Care looking after your pooch you know it will be in safe and experienced hands and you can relax knowing they will be in great care. We are very trustworthy, friendly, loving and work with a professional attitude at all times which will reflect on your dog.

We generally take dogs for an hour walk in a group of up to 4 dogs. We let them lead walk, run free, woodland treks, lake swims, supervised playtime with other dogs and generally having a great time out in the open spaces. This wears them out and they all come back with waggy tails and happy faces!

All the calmness and fun on our walks makes it a great place to be for your dog. We can post pictures of the day's walks so you can be kept updated.

We take your dog for their walk whatever the weather
(apart from when very occasionally the weather is dangerous for example lightning or actually believe it or not, too hot! We don’t want your dog to have any heat exhaustion or burnt paws! If the weather is too bad we will still supply a visit, cuddle and top up water and let out for toilet etc)

Once we have the consultation together we will talk about your dog’s individual needs so that we can make sure your dog has the best possible time.

Dogs can be walked on or off the lead. We have a declaration sheet which we ask you to sign if you are ok with them off the lead. We will walk them on the lead until we think they are comfortable with us.

Holiday Boarding

Holiday Boarding

We also offer a holiday boarding service. Bright Days Dog Care usually only take 1 dog at a time to make sure your dog has the most attention from us and to make it feel more like their home from home. We would never put our own dog in a kennel and feel that dog boarding is far better for your dog to stay in familiar surroundings like another house.

£38 per day/night (including drop off and pick up days)
We ask for a 20% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking.

We can send you pictures while you are away on holiday of the progress of your dog so you can see all the fun they are having.

Your dog will have free range of the downstairs part of the house with plenty of exercise time in the garden/woodlands. Our house backs onto the woodlands with vast areas for lovely long country walks.

We will have an introductory meeting at our house so your dog can get used to the new surroundings and meet our retriever. We will discuss all the arrangements for their stay such as:

  • We will ask you about about your dog’s usual routine to try and keep things normal.
  • We will use your dog's normal food and treats which we ask you to supply for the duration of their stay.
  • We will continue any medications that are necessary during your dog's stay.
  • We will ask you to bring any of your dog's favourite toys, treats, bedding, food bowls and lead etc.

We welcome all well behaved dogs who are up to date with their injections, worming and flea treatments. We ask that all dogs are neutered or spayed.

Boarding license number: 19/00014/hobodg

Day Boarding

Day Boarding

We can pick up your dog at around 9am and keep them with us until around 3pm. During this time they can come on walks with the rest of the group (max 4) or have one walk and chill at home with my wife and retrievers. No matter what you choose you can be assured that your dog will be in loving safe hands and having a great time, while getting nicely worn out.

£28 per day (weekday)
£34 per day (weekend)

Dog Training

Dog Training

We also cater for basic dog training or puppy training to help your dog or puppy become a well behaved socialised, clever dog. We use an extra long training lead for recall training. We train all the basic commands like sit, down, wait, paw, heal and recall. We use positive training methods (reward and praise) including huge amounts of praise for good listening and ignoring any bad behaviour. We also use small titbits for rewarding good behaviour.

£25 for half and hour

About Us

About Us

My family and I have always enjoyed looking after dogs. We have two lovely golden retrievers and 3 children who are very used to dogs and know how to behave around them. We are Kennel Club breeders and take great pride in this.

I have always been very interested in the way dogs behave around other dogs and humans.

I have completed the following training, passing all courses with distinction:

  • Canine First Aid Level 2 Training
  • Canine Behaviour Training Course Level 3
  • Animal Assisted Therapy Diploma
  • Dog Training Diploma
I’m always looking for more training as I find it very useful and love learning more and more about dogs.

I love training dogs basic commands such as sit, wait, lay down, leave, come, paw and recall training. It’s very rewarding, but time consuming and that’s what we have and can give your dog the best chance of becoming a well behaved, socialised and loving dog.

I am very passionate about the dogs I train and walk. It shows when you get your dog back. They will get so much individual attention, love and lots of cuddles!!

We are fully insured with public liability and transport insurance
