The biggest congratulations to the littlest girl Frida, our Halloween costume contest winner! She channeled her inner Wednesday Addams and stole the show with her spooky style. Every pup looked frightfully adorable in their costumes—well done to all the dogs (and their humans) for bringing such wickedly fun vibes to daycare this Halloween!
A few words from our winner:
“Use the word “little” and “girl” to address me again and I can’t guarantee your safety.”

🐾🏅 What a day at The Contented Canine Pawlympics 2024! Our furry athletes gave their all, with some standout performances that had tails wagging in excitement. The Terrier team, proudly representing Scotland, showcased their agility and teamwork, making their country proud with every leap and bound. Meanwhile, the German Schnauzer team stole the show in the running events, proving that their speed and stamina are second to none.
However, not all was smooth sailing. A scandal delayed the Water Bowl Emptying event when the water bowl was found to be, ahem, ‘polluted’ by an overexcited participant. After thorough water quality testing and cleansing, Bee prevailed with the fastest time making it a memorable day for all our canine competitors. 🐶🐾🏆

Your pups have so much to thank you for 💗
Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have always had at least one of my own, usually more. Even while flatting at University I couldn’t be without a dog and adopted a wee rescue. I love all dogs and have owned a wide range of breeds from Bullmastiff to Brussels Griffon.
In 2004 after qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse I began working at a local vet clinic where I gained valuable practical experience and was given the responsibly of running their puppy preschool classes. This reinforced that my real passion was dogs and I continued to do more courses & seminars relating to Canine Behaviour & Training.
A few years later with the encouragement of many clients, I established and built a successful Luxury Boarding Kennels on the outskirts of Wakefield (The Canine Retreat). I enjoyed running the kennels for several years and a lot of regular guests became a big part of my life. It was a very hard decision to sell the business but by then we had two young kids and one more on the way.
Our kids are now older and once again I’m loving working full time on building a business I’m passionate about, The Contented Canine.
By combining what we know works well with the latest concepts in doggy daycare, we can proudly offer an exceptional & different daycare experience for the small dogs of Nelson and their families.
Our aim is to create a family like atmosphere at the Contented Canine, where clients always feel comfortable & welcome.
We are so excited to be growing The Contented Canine family and love having both past and new canine clients and their families join us.
