We are now accepting bookings from October 2024 to Dec 2025 so to avoid disappointment book early.

We offer an around the clock home care service for your dog. Your dog receives lots of affection and a variety of mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. We also send you daily updates to show you what your dog has been doing for each day of the duration of their stay.

Prior to accepting your booking we offer a free meet and greet service and paid overnight trial to ensure your dog will get on in our environment without you.

Reading and understanding your dogs body language enables you to develop a stronger bond together. It enhances communication between you both and also means you can respond appropriately.

Taking the time to read and decipher the ways in which your dog communicates with you leads to better understanding and therefore a deeper relationship.

Here's the lovely Tessa 💜 again. Another one of our favourites.

Tessa's ability to absorb new behaviours was truly empowering for us. Her desire to learn made teaching an absolute joy, her ability to learn so quickly was impressive. She was pushing us for more knowledge just like a sponge. So soft , gentle, loving and affectionate. Her appetite to please was heartwarming for us too.

Counting down the days until you return. Missing your hugs 🤗.

Previously I thought some dogs were so smart they were stubborn until a trainer asked me "do you honestly believe a dog knows what you're asking, can see that tasty treat in your hand but decides not to do what you're asking?" 😀

I took this on board the next time this thought occured to me and I was mesmerised at the improvement in my relationship with that dog.

01/07/2024

This is lovely Lupo, another of our favourite Labradors who has a gorgeous coat and is full of love and affection.

Lupo was a puppy when he arrived and we had many adventures. Despite being a puppy his father did and continues to do a fabulous job training him. Lupo is one of the most zen dogs we have ever boarded. H

We miss his hugs, cuddles and playing fetch with him.

We're counting the hours until we see Lupo again. Those ears melt our hearts 💞 🥰

Taking time to build a relationship with your dog pays back 1000 times, everytime.

Listening to understand is an integral part of building a successful relationship.

Often just watching the way your dog plays with their toys, how they interact within different environments and with other dogs. As well as how they respond to other humans enables one to build a relationship based on understanding. To really see were their dog is at in their development rather than were one expects they needs to be. The difference is often having a happy dog or one that is misunderstood due to a lack of relationship and understanding.

At Top Paws we believe enhancing human-canine connections enables our dogs and their human to get the most out of their relationship.

Counting the days until she returns 💜🤗🥰

New Testimonial Just In ✨🐶😀

We were pleased to have the opportunity to care for Floyd who was unsure and nervous on arrival. Very quickly we learned he loved hugs and playing fetch. The rest his history ❤️ . Cannot wait to have him back in our care.

18/06/2024

I've lost count of the number of dogs I've had turn up for a meet and greet or overnight trial as a home boarder that ticks a lot of these red flags is deeply saddening. However taking the time to speak with their pet parents, I understand they were given such solutions by trainers to whom they paid thousands of pounds to. I am glad they listened and whilst in my care saw there is an alternative way , using positive reinforcement forcement methods that is not just about excessive treat feeding (another myth!). That they continued doing even after the boarding period which has successfully helped them stop using these aversive methods altogether. The proof is in the pudding and I am happy to share what I have learned and continue to learn using scientific methods to enhance the human-canine connection and overall wellbeing of dogs. Especially whilst their dogs are in my care.

We are licenced, have valid business insurance and therefore are trading legally. We are compliant to Regulations set out by DEFRA.

Unlicensed businesses do as they please...but have no business insurance which will also invalidate your own pet insurance. They also have an annoying habit of cancelling bookings without any care or accountability. Always use a LICENSED service, we have contracts in place for a reason.

Please also be aware that carers who use Rover, Petbacker, Borrow My Doggy, Bark, Pawshake, may say they are registered and that their platform covers them, but if they are taking money/being paid to look after your dog (cash or BACS) each and everyone requires to be individually licensed.

No licence = no valid insurance=invalid pet insurance, which basically means you as an owner are not legally or financially protected & you cannot claim against at them or their platform, regardless whether they say they are insured.

Too many owners have fallen foul to this.

Please be safe & book your dog into a safe environment with a licenced service before you book your holiday.🐾

We enjoy helping out guests work on their obedience skills whilst in our care. This provides them with much needed mental enrichment, deepens our bond with them whilst enhancing their wellbeing. It also empowers their parents to practice behaviours they may not previously know how to get their dog to carry out. All of which enables the human-canine connection that we love to see. These are just a few benefits of using Top Paws, your dog becomes part of our family and receives one to one care. They also get to join us in our daily adventures that you receive short clips for throughout their stay. How do you think Buster did? #licenceddogboarding #boardandtraindogtraining #dogobedience #dogmentalstimulation #hertsboarding #clevercavapoo
