The Beating heart of Pooch's Yard

Built on Love, Grown on Trust

Pooch's Yard was founded by Kyle back in 2017. A behaviourist that wanted to help as many dogs as possible. Now with his wife by his side, they have turned it into one of the UK's most trusted day care centres.

How We Work

Our Approach to Dog Care

We don't just look after dogs, we understand them. Every member of our team is trained to read body language, manage group dynamics, and respond to each dog as an individual.

Safety First, Always

Every dog is assessed before joining the group. We monitor interactions constantly and separate dogs when needed, no exceptions.

Individual Attention

We know every dog by name, personality, and preference. Your dog isn't a number, they're a family member, and we treat them that way.

Behaviour Led Care

We use reward-based methods across everything we do, to achieve calm, consistent, kind behaviours.

Open Communication

We'll always tell you how your dog's day went, the good, the great, and anything we think you should know. Transparency is non-negotiable.
