Alternatively, we can still use our whatsapp in the interim. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Have an awsome sunny weekend folks 😎

To answer many questions we are receiving in relation to 'xl bully type dogs' we thought we would share a post to address what we know and are doing at present. We want to point out that the rules below are out of our hands and stress that we love all breeds!

We would like to make the statement that as a training centre and boarding facility we have worked with hundreds of 'xl bully type' dogs over the years and have seen how loving, intelligent and well raised many of them are! We have learned to understand the breed and their motivators and learning styles and for this reason are going to continue to provide boarding and daycare for XL 'types' (however the daycare element has had to have some drastic changes with the dog needing 1:1 handler etc please drop us a message if you would like to know more regarding daycare).

Firstly, we cannot help rehome any 'type' of banned breed dogs unfortunately. Secondly, as trainers we strongly advise muzzle training, its not as simple as popping one on the dog for drop off, many dogs can become stressed by this which can then translate into concerning behaviours such as rolling around, not listening whilst pulling at it etc and not a true reflection of your dogs character. If you are unsure how to do this we can certainly help with muzzle training please drop us a message if you need this.

We of course have some restrictions and regulations that the owners must comply with in order for us to continue to offer our services, and unfortunately where they are not followed we cannot provide our services or we run the risks of fines and even tighter restrictions and or prevent us from being allowed to offer any at all, so whether we agree with it or not we do have to follow the below:

1. From today onwards all owners of XL 'type' (being mindful your dog only has to have a majority of the characteristics to be 'typed' they do not have to have all characteristics) must provide an up-to-date certificate of Third-Party Liability insurance and insurance for your dog for us to keep on file. Our insurance will not cover us/our employees so this is mandatory unfortunately.

2. From the 1st of February 2024 you will also be required to show proof that your dog is registered to the ‘Index of Exempt Dogs’.

3. all 'types' must arrive with a lead and muzzle for drop off/collections or in the event we need to transport them, if your dog meets the 'type' and does not arrive with these we will not be allowed to let them out the car as 'members of the public have access to reception' so please do not forget :D

4. You must provide proof of neutering before the 30th of June 2024 if your dog is over 1 - If your dog is less that 1 we must see proof before the 31st of December 2024. If your dog is not spayed or neutered after the government deadlines, we will unfortunately not be able to board them with us.

5. Your dog will have to pass an evaluation assessment to ensure they are able to board/daycare with us so if you have a boarding booking or wanting to make one please contact us to book an assessment prior, we have made this an easy half day stay for just £15.50 so that we can let the dog meet the team, interact etc - we have to keep these on file so if you have not attended an assessment prior to your boarding booking we will not be allowed to board your dog so please reach out to book this in. (please note we are not allowed to accept any dog or breed if they show signs of aggression such as growling, lunging etc regardless of 'type' of dog)

Despite the rules and certain restrictions we hope to give our customers and dogs an enjoyable visit as always and will work as hard as we can to support a life as enriched, fun and normal as possible!

We do also have a secure field that can be hired which can be added to bookings for off lead fun and or hired privately, please check out our other page Fleurs Friendly Fields

Going through some of our doggie pics and it's dawned on us that we never uploaded our 5 star license :D we have always been 5 star at all locations previously established as the dogs welfare and enrichment is our core value, but moving to a completely new site this past year and having to start from scratch has been super hard work!

Rest assured our 5 star license translates down into 5 star care and fun filled visits for all guests 🐕 🐕

A few of our field clients have tried to use the sale code we have on at our field hire for their boarding/daycare bookings, please note these are seperate and that code is for the field hire only :D

We only have around 4 slots available for boarding over Christmas and New years left but we will offer a 10 percent discount on our boarding, training and daycare to extend our field closure sale :D.

We will match our field sale and offer this 10 percent discount until 31st December. This means any bookings made from now upto this date will receive a 10 percent price reduction. All you need to do is secure your booking online, pay your deposit to secure it and inbox us on here with the code CHRISTMAS and one of our team will apply it to your booking 😊😊.

Please note this offer cannot be used on existing bookings, in addition to any other discounts, or after the 31st.

To be clear this doesn't mean your booking has to be within this date, your booking can be for any date as long as you book in by the 31st you'll be eligible 😀
