Happy Halloween 🎃👻

Over 400 dogs have had their Halloween/Autumnal photos taken so far, sadly we can only post a small amount of them. We are so lucky that we get to work with such a huge variety of breeds, sizes and ages! 🐾🐾

Happy Birthday Tim! The reason that the Tiverton Dog Centre exists and is what it is today. The most hardworking person that there could be, you give your absolute all to the centre and you are the best boss that any of us could ask for. You treat and care for every single dog as your own and it shows with how loved you are. Have the best day (working of course!) 🥳🐾

Our Autumn photoshoots have started! 🍁 Here are a few from today. Over the next few weeks every single dog will receive a picture. With over 300 visits a week - that’s a lot of photos! 🐾🐾🐾

One of the most frequent comments we get from people is how quiet it is at the centre. Everyone always asks how we do it!

Structured socialising that isn’t just dogs jumping all over each other and barking, helping dogs regulate when they are becoming tired, tailored groups to suit the dogs temperament, helping the dog to learn respectful play around other dog/people, mixed with plenty of places and opportunity to rest, relax and have some downtime!

Here are some dogs chilling out and making full use of our tiny town, sofas, beds, bean bags, mattresses, platforms and everything else that they claim as their space - in the main hall alone we have 5 large sofas 😄🐾🐾

Grooming updates -

It’s that time of year when we begin to think about Christmas!🎄

For grooming, December is nearly completely fully booked with both Alicia and Ellie. We have very limited appointments remaining throughout December, so please ensure that you have booked in, in advance.

Alicia is fully booked for grooming appointments until mid November, and Ellie is fully booked until the start of November. We may be able to squeeze in small grooms/baths beforehand, and we are looking into the possibility of working extra hours to try and get everyone in, so please do message if you haven’t yet booked in.

Christmas bath day! Every year we do a Christmas bath day to get all of your dogs smelling nice for the big day - on this year this will be on Monday 23rd December. We wont be taking bookings for haircuts on this date. As always we will be running our Christmas upgrades from Mid November onwards, so please let us know if you’d like to upgrade the groom.

Thank you so much for all of your custom and keeping us so busy, we appreciate it massively. Alicia ❤️🐾

Our big boys, Ghost and Roger 🐾

15/09/2024

3 months before the XL Bully ban came into effect, we took on Ghost as one of our own. This week marks a year that we have had him and what a year it has been!

Taking him on was a decision that we didn’t take lightly and whilst it was largely seen as a positive step and what was right for Ghost, it was also met with doubts and some very nasty comments from people online.

This video is aimed at those nasty comments as we show you what an incredible dog he has become. All of the people that said we should put him to sleep, shoot him, drown him, and were otherwise very horrible about him we hope you can see this is and eat your words.

There are no doubts that there should be strict regulations on owning dogs like this. They are no joke in the wrong hands and are incredibly powerful dogs that need experienced owners. But we just wanted to share our personal positive story with this amazing dog.

Good job Ghost - keep proving everyone wrong 🐾🐾

As some of the pups have progressed into the next stages we have some very rare spaces available in our puppy parties!

Our puppy parties are a unique chance for your puppy to interact, socialise and play with similar aged puppies and other dogs, all within our secure centre.
Every puppy is assessed and put into groups best suited to their personalities. This is based on a few things such as age, size and temperament.

Through positive interactions, respectful play, mixed with plenty of time to rest, our puppy parties aim to build confident, respectful dogs.

They are held daily at 10am - 11am. Please get in touch for info 🐾🐾

We are raising money for life saving treatment needed for our assistant manager Bekkas dog, Jasper. After a routine check up, Jasper has unfortunately been diagnosed with an extremely dangerous heart condition that can result in sudden death if not treated. Jasper is insured but unfortunately the insurance is not covering it. Therefore, we are trying to raise money to help Bekka, Josh and Jasper with the existing vet bills and ongoing treatment. We will be also be undertaking fundraisers including Alicia and Ellie grooming on Saturdays where all money raised will be donated to Jaspers fund. More information on this will be posted.

Jaspers full story can be read via the link. If anybody can donate no matter how much we would all greatly appreciate it 🐾
