About Us
Give your pooch a proper education!
Here at Doggy Day Academy, we turn out well-educated dogs who are well-mannered, socialised and happy.
What better way for them to learn life lessons than in our daycare — whilst you work or relax, happy in the knowledge that they're safe and getting a great education.
- Bored at home, possibly destructive?
- Barking for attention whilst you work from home?
- Struggles with being left alone?
- High energy — needs more than you have time to give?
- Needs to learn manners and life skills?
- Puppy who needs correct socialising?
If any of these sound familiar, Doggy Day Academy is for you!
Our School
The Five Pillars of Enrichment
A ground-breaking approach that makes Doggy Day Academy the place to bring your dog.
Mental Enrichment
Puzzle games, scent work and short training sessions to tire them out the smart way.
Calm & Rest
Structured nap time so your dog returns happy, content and ready to relax.
Social Play
Carefully matched group play with high staff-to-dog ratio for individual attention.
Safe & Secure
Fully insured, licensed facility with staff trained in canine first aid.
Life Skills
Reward-based, kind training methods — no harsh techniques, ever.
Free Assessment Day
Every new pup starts with a no-obligation assessment. We meet your dog, learn their quirks, and make sure the Academy is the right fit.
- Dogs and owners attend an assessment in the outdoor play yard
- Owners can view the outdoor area where the assessment takes place
- The assessment is primarily to meet the dog, discuss needs, and answer questions
