BY THE BRIDGE
HOME DOG BOARDING
My name is Ann and I've always owned and loved dogs.
Some say more than most other humans! Having owned German Shepherds, English Bull Terriers and now having Labradors, I am used to diverse breed traits and personalities. Getting to a point in my life where I wasn't happy with the daily drudge of full time work, my husband and I decided to follow our dream and start dog boarding as a new stage in life. We live in a rural family home with 2 acres of land housing chickens, geese, sheep and of course, our dogs. We have direct access to the banks of The Military Canal making it the most perfect setting for long, adventurous dog walks.
OUR HOME
We operate an 'our home is your home' policy here at Giggers Cottage, especially when it comes to dogs. We have just over 2 acres of flat grassland with some shaded areas, beautiful willow trees and a large pond that is sectioned off from the main garden surrounding the house. Your dog will have the opportunity to use all of this as well as the sofas.
Not only can they freely bask in the summer sun but they are also welcome to hide out indoors in either the main lounge and kitchen areas or have some peace and quiet in one of our bedrooms.
WALKIES
Walks happen twice per day, morning and evening alongside the canal adjacent to our home. This is a large expanse of wonderful grass and undergrowth for extreme sniffing and exploring. Please don't be nervous seeing the water - we will always meet your needs and if your dog is not a confident swimmer or you just don't want that risk - we will go in the opposite direction across fields into the woodland.
TIME OUT
If you have an oldie that can't keep up with the Labs anymore, they can simply hang out in the garden to get some fresh air or watch the squirrels and chickens all day. We are very much outdoors people and spend most of our time in the garden so your dog will be outside stretching their legs whilst the sun is shining and inside by the log burner when the seasons change. Everything your dog needs within its exercise routine can be addressed at your initial consultation.
