Our passion is helping your puppy socialise “safely” and optimise their “social learning” during the 8 - 14 week critical development stage. With a unique combination of specialist advice from 8 weeks, Nursery daycare from 10 weeks and Puppy Parent classes in parallel, we use interactive and learning based “play” techniques, and offer easy, convenient and fun experiences that parents can really enjoy too.
Building confidence, forming bonds and learning the core foundations for a happy life.
During a puppy’s crucial 8 to 20 week developmental stage, we directly influence the life a puppy has ahead. Without the right combination of safe socialisation and flexible life experience timing your puppy can grow into a dog lacking confidence or struggling with bad manners, social anxiety, separation anxiety or difficult aggression issues.
Drawing from their combined 30 years of knowledge and experience Barkley Manor and Jess Allsop have created the ‘Puppy Nursery’ as a more flexible, socially focused and powerful menu of options for puppies and parents. With an aim to reduce the risk of fears, optimise the benefit of social learning and improve all round quality of life for years to come. Setting your puppy up with the foundation to become a great dog.

[COVID-19 Response]
During the these strange Covid-19 times many puppies, have missed some critical socialising stages, and may have a huge deficit in their social learning as a result:
May never have met any other dogs
Seen at a distance but no physical contact
Were making good progress before but now regressed
Had been socialising well but now with no practice are lacking etiquette or aggressive
Never been left alone and develop separation anxiety
These behaviours can become rooted not only in your puppy’s behaviour patterns but can also dramatically reduce their ability to live a happy and healthy City life. We have created a series of bespoke options to help minimise the effect of your puppy’s recent social vacuum.
