Puppy Classes and Daycare
Puppy Nursery “Getting ready for life”
Our passion is helping puppies socialise “safely” and optimising their “social learning” during the 8 - 14 week critical development stage. With a unique combination of specialist Nursery daycare and Puppy Parent classes, we use interactive and learning based “play” techniques, and offer easy, convenient and fun experiences that parents can really enjoy too.
Years of experience has taught us
Do it differently
At the heart of what we love and do is our passion for truly knowing and caring for all of the puppies and dogs entrusted in our care. We approach each day, class, group or individual with a level of love and attention akin to surrogate parent meets teacher, in a process we call the “Bonding Cycle”.
Whether having fun with dog daycare friends in our City Park or free-running with the “forest monkeys” at our Country Park, learning new things in dog & puppy day training classes we ensure that your gorgeous puppy or dog’s every hour, day or week is perfectly suited to their own personality and needs.

We share not only a common, and insatiable, adoration for our four legged friends but a mutual commitment to ensuring a quality of love and care that we are always proud of. And we know you will be too. We take it very seriously that you entrust your dogs with us and our roll call of dogs and puppies is not only divided by age, size and personality but is cared for by a dedicated roster of staff for each class.

WE LOOK AT MORE THAN YOUR DOGS SIZE, AGE, BREED, SEX;
We get to know your dogs personality type
We get to know your dog’s personality by understanding not just their breed proclivities, but their life stage, lifestyle and history. We know their mood is as changing as ours, but what sits in all of their hearts and minds are character traits and shared behaviours. By always treating the dogs and puppies as individuals, letting them learn through socialisation, play and experiences we build a bond and understanding that is pretty special.

School Report Cards
The highlight of the year is our infamous Report Cards - after a year packed with anecdotes, relationships and learning, each of our roll call students gets a summary of their best achievements and most notable moments. It causes quite the stir as grades are compared, antics shared, best known traits confirmed, and achievements marvelled at. Some nervously laugh at lesser grades some burst with pride and everyone smiles at the list of friends, and all share their pride with everyone and anyone!

Supporting Paw Justice
Sometimes you meet people who are way beyond just 'good guys', and we have had the honour of not only meeting but supporting Craig and Shaughn, the brains and paws behind this cause! We all get frustrated by the injustices thrust upon the innocent in our modern society but these guys got angry enough to decide to affect some change. Whether signing their petition for a change in the sentencing laws for cruelty to animals or buying one of their Tshirts / DVD's to raise funds for their amazing activities you can join in their crusade - we are 100% with them and behind them and we hope you are too.
Visit them at www.pawjustice.co.nz or sign the petition next time you come to see us.
Barkley Manor Country Park
Forest Adventures
On a Forest Group walk the "Forest Monkeys" as we affectionately call the dogs, are loaded on the School Bus and taken for a forest day trip. Being a dog monkey is about having the freedom to run, explore, sniff, chase, swim, plunge, shout with joy, jump, chase, chew, smell, hunt, amble and roll in mud.
We specialise in creating different experiences for different groups of dogs - young pups country enrichment, older and slower, hunters and gatherers, too shy for public parks - we want to celebrate your dog being themselves.
We ask that all puppies / dogs join our daycare first so we can start the Bonding process and optimise which day and group they are best suited to.
Rural Retreats - Dog Boarding
Let your dog hang out with their four legged friends on a perfect country holiday at the HOMESTEAD - a purposely designed, open plan home, staffed round the clock for the ultimate in overnight dog boarding care. No dog kennels here!
