K9 Development Centre

K9 Development Centre is a large, professionally run dog daycare and training facility with a strong focus on individualised care, socialisation, and positive training. Dogs enjoy time with their peers in a safe, secure setting, benefit from regular walks in woodland areas, participate in themed and enrichment activities, and receive professional behavioural training tailored to their specific needs. The centre offers door-to-door collection and drop-off services, overnight boarding, and regular updates to owners, including detailed ‘pupdates’ with photos and progress reports. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and caring, creating a loving and supportive atmosphere for all breeds and temperaments, including those with special needs or requiring dietary accommodations.

Field Feature Notes:
– Secured: Many reports refer to a safe, secure environment, with owners expressing confidence in the safety provided for group play, off-lead exercise, and during boarding. Specific mention of a private, wooded area for off-lead play suggests additional, well-managed security.
– Seating: No references found to owner or public seating within the facility; as this is primarily a drop-off daycare centre, seating for owners is either not provided or not relevant.
– Toilets: No explicit information about toilets for humans on site.
– Toilet Bags: No information provided regarding toilet bags for dog waste.
– Bins: No mention found of waste bins on the premises.
– Shaded Areas: Dogs make use of a private wooded area, suggesting natural shade from trees. The overall environment is described as outdoors and safe even in bad weather.
– Drinking Water: Implied, as references to long, energetic play and welfare suggest proper care, and some comments specifically mention returned dogs being clean, shampooed, and cared for, but direct mention is absent.
– Water Play Area: No specific indication of a dedicated water play feature, pond, or splash zone.
– Agility Equipment: Several reviewers reference enrichment, agility and play equipment, and themed days including ‘sports day’ with certificates awarded. Dogs are reported to enjoy running, agility activities, and equipment on site.
– Park Size: Multiple references to ‘loads of space’ and a private woodland for exercise, accommodating numerous dogs daily, and offering varied play and training areas.
– Cost: This is a commercial dog daycare and training service with collection/drop-off and boarding options; cost is implied as part of professional services, though not specifically mentioned in reviews.
