Socialisation plays an important role in every puppy’s development, and at The Doggy Day Care Centre we take this stage seriously. Our purpose built Little Legs Club provides a safe and nurturing environment designed especially for small breeds, young puppies and dogs with a quieter or more nervous temperament.

Within Little Legs Club there are a range of enriching spaces including cosy snuggle areas for rest, playful ball pits for interaction and a large secure outdoor area with agility equipment. These environments allow dogs to explore, play and gradually build confidence while enjoying positive social experiences.

Early socialisation helps puppies grow into calm, well balanced adult dogs who are comfortable around others. Because their needs are different from adult dogs, our team carefully adapts each activity to support their confidence, comfort and curiosity.

Puppies can join the Little Legs Club from 12 weeks old, provided it has been two weeks since completing their vaccination course, ensuring that all play and learning takes place in a safe and healthy environment.

Our fully insured Pet Taxi operates five days a week and provides safe, reliable transport for dogs travelling to and from our centres.

Each vehicle is equipped with comfortable bedding, secure crates and air conditioning so that every journey remains calm and comfortable.

Before each journey, drivers record notes about every dog’s travel preferences so that their experience remains familiar and relaxed.

Some dogs enjoy a treat when they arrive, while others settle best with a favourite toy during travel.

Because we pay close attention to these details, every journey is designed to be as stress free as possible for the dogs in our care.
