Reward-based training for recall, basic commands, and everyday good behaviour at home and out and about.

Doggy daycare

Mondays are for daycare

Drop your dog off in the morning and collect a tired, happy pup in the afternoon. We keep groups small and supervised so every dog gets attention.

Hi, I'm Kurt

For the Dogs started with a simple idea: dogs are happiest when they are active, social, and understood. I treat every dog in my care as if it were my own.

Whether it is a calm walk around the block, a confidence-building play session, or a full day of daycare, your dog is in safe, caring hands.
