A GROOM WITH A VIEW
Dog Day Care
At A Groom With A View doggy daycare, we give your pooch the chance to play and spend time with their new friends in rural Lincolnshire while you're unable to care for them during the day or just want to exercise and socialise your dog. With our doggy daycare services, you can benefit from the peace of mind that your furry best friend is safe, secure and will return home as a happy hound.
A Groom With A View is set in a lovely location amidst rolling fields and rambling paths, shaded by the ancient trees of Old Wood. Our doggy daycare centre is nestled in the village of Skellingthorpe, just a 10-minute drive from Lincoln.
We assess all dogs before we can accept registration to ensure every dog is happy in the day care setting. The assessment takes an hour long, is £15 and you leave your dog with us. If they do well they are welcome to stay with us longer to help settle them in.
Please register your dog up to 24 hours before your assessment once you have booked your assessment and don’t forget to send us a picture of your dogs proof of vaccination by email, fb message or bring it along with you, you must also ensure your dog has the kennel cough vaccine ideally 6 monthly but at least annually.
We will assess your dog in a 1-1 session with our experienced, qualified, friendly staff. We will spend the first part of the session getting to know your dog before we slowly introduce them to the day care pack. We will give you feedback on the assessment , we have cctv to show you your dog playing and will post videos and pictures onto our fb page at the end of each day, so you will always feel a part of your dogs stay.
Choosing doggy daycare in Lincoln
If you’re worried about your dog when you’re out, then choosing our doggy care in Old Wood is the ideal solution. We offer so much more than just day care facilities in Lincolnshire.
Here at a Groom With a View, your faithful companion will have ample opportunity to run around while having fun. The expenditure of energy will alleviate stress, keep him or her calm, and ensure your dog returns home ready for a quiet evening. We can even collect your dog and return them home after each session!
Socialisation at our doggy daycare center
As well as helping to improve behaviour and social skills, we can help teach your dog to develop responsiveness to certain commands, and continue any training you have already implemented. We want your dog's experience with us to be hugely beneficial, as well as enjoying their time with us, we also want you to notice positive changes in your dog's behaviour and mood where necessary. We also strive to ensure each dog develops into a well mannered part of the daycare gang, as well as transferring these skills into their home environment.
We know that owners can’t always provide enough socialisation at home, especially if you’re out at work during the day, running errands or caring for others. At our doggy daycare centre, we provide all our dogs with oodles of socialisation to keep them entertained and to teach them how to interact with other four-legged friends.
