We have an excellent reputation and are recommended by Vets, Dog Walkers and of course our Customers.
Jo would like to welcome you to the Rhyddings, I passionately care about the welfare of dogs and am only happy when providing the best care possible.
If your dog is very sociable then we offer to let them play in a small group with other like minded dogs. We are obviously very careful about the types of dogs who will get along with each other and although the size of dogs may vary, the temperaments must all be equal. We cannot have a dominant dog in the group as they may cause a potential problem.
The dogs adore being part of a group and it is such a joy to be amongst them. We believe it works so well due to our large grounds and the fact that we never use leads in the enclosed garden area unless requested to. Which keeps all the dogs so relaxed.
However, if you would prefer your dog is exercised on it’s own, or with the companion it comes in with, then it is no problem at all.
We just want all the dogs to have a happy, fun-filled holiday of their own.
