We’re very proud to be associated with Randle Stonier and . So much of what we do is guided by their advice and guidance around the current legislation for home boarding and best practice for dog walking . Please share this wonderful post as so many owners looking for care for their precious dog just aren’t aware ❤️

Looking for pet care services? A few words of advice.

If you’re considering pet care services, please think twice about who you trust with your beloved pet. Too often, people hand over their dogs to someone with no checks, qualifications, or insurance—and that choice can carry serious risks.

In fact, it’s likely a criminal offence to offer boarding or daycare services for payment without a licence from the local authority. Choosing an unlicensed provider doesn’t just put your pet at risk; it can also mean there’s no legal accountability if something goes wrong, and any insurance they claim to have may be nullified.

Licensed providers, on the other hand, have been rigorously vetted, are properly insured, frequently inspected and operate with your pet’s safety as their top priority.

Always ask to see their licence and make sure you’re choosing someone who meets the standards set to keep your pet safe.

Let’s make responsible choices for our furry family members!

We’ve been doing this puppy socialisation for a long time ! We had to make do and mend tho back in the day before we found the wonderful My Happy Hounds 🤣❤️.

Lovely to see our crew looking after him & some wonderful familiar faces ❤️❤️❤️🥰

The Gentle Dog Company

Hi and welcome to The Gentle Dog Company. I am a dedicated, passionate and caring animal lover, lucky enough now semi retired from a long teaching career, to be able to dedicate my days to working with some of the most beautiful little creatures on the planet. I am licensed by SBC (in process of renewal) qualified in canine first aid and am fully insured.

I’ve worked with dogs and animals in many different capacities over the years as an owner, professional walker, home boarder and foster carer for the R.S.P.C.A. I have a wide variety of experience with different breeds and temperaments and enjoy ongoing success with puppy socialisation and socialisation for anxious or fearful dogs. I’m proud to say my walks are stimulating, safe, enjoyable and fun and importantly of different types and doggy mixes to suit the needs of different dogs.

I provide small group walks or 1:1 as preferred: from working breeds who enjoy our more robust countryside walks, to the ‘teeny tinys’ as I call them who at times (certainly not always) prefer something a little calmer and more sedate, or just being together with other little ones. Not forgetting of course carefully staged walks for the young puppies just starting out on their adventures in life and building happy doggy friendships.

Home from Home boarding is as it says on the tin. After a careful process of introduction to me, my dogs and my home over time before your holiday, your dog lives as a member of my family . I only provide boarding for a very small number at one time which enables me to provide exactly what I would want for my own dogs in terms of care, supervision, walking and love. There’s lots of that to go around . Please see my testimonials from customers.
