"Finding a secure field with truly dog-proof 6ft fencing for our energetic husky Kira was a game changer. The sensory agility obstacles and double airlock gate gave us total peace of mind. We book every single Saturday!"

Home Boarding
"We never liked kennels, so finding Big Friendly Dog’s cozy family home boarding was a blessing. Daily video clips of the dogs snuggled on the rug melted our hearts while we were away."

"Apollo used to pull frantically whenever he saw other dogs on walks. In just three 1-on-1 sessions using positive reinforcement, he is walking calmly by my side. Cannot recommend enough!"
