DOGGIE DAYCARE IN HOMERTON, HACKNEY

Hairy Hounds in Hackney provides a safe and enriching space for dogs while you are at work during the day. Our urban doggie paradise, situated in the heart of Homerton, is the ideal home-away-from-home with everything your hairy hound could possibly need!

Drop your dog off at our Doggie Daycare and Training Centre or arrange for us to collect your dog from your home. In your absence your dog will be walked, well-socialised, rested and loved, leaving you to come home and enjoy the calm nature of a well balanced and healthy dog.

We've got you covered for up to 11 hours per day.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Making new friends can be just as daunting for dogs as it is for us humans. For this reason we require that all HHH hounds attend doggie daycare at least 3x per week. This enables us to get to know each dog’s personality and needs, and that your dog integrates well with the rest of the group. 

We currently have between 15 and 25 dogs in our regular daycare group, and have a high staff to dog ratio. All play and interaction is monitored throughout the day.
HHH Staff are all working full-time and are trained to help guide you and your pooch from puppy to adult development stages.

PUPPIES

Puppies are welcome at Hairy Hounds in Hackney. We encourage new pups to join our daycare group as early as possible to help them become confident and secure around other dogs. 

Our established pack of dogs cover all ages, shapes, and sizes and are well-socialised and trained already which helps new puppies to integrate well and learn how to communicate appropriately and read body language. 

Because puppies’ joints and bones are still growing, we make sure that puppies get just the right amount of exercise every day. Your pup will also get plenty of nap time as this is vital for the early stages of their growth and development. 

We offer ongoing training and support to ensure your puppy develops into a well-rounded and healthy dog.

SOCIALISING

We teach dogs how to play nicely, politely and safely, and we have a well-established group of amazing dogs. We have a no barking or rough play policy to teach dogs good habits early on.

Our Doggie Daycare and Training Centre features a large open and stimulating outdoor space which was purpose-built for playing and training, while the Doggie Lounge is an indoor space reserved for nap time and cuddles. This teaches dogs how to differentiate what types of behaviour is best suited to each environment.

TRAINING

Our unique urban daycare includes reward-based training that is worked into our daily routine to provide continuous support for our clients. This includes feedback and ongoing training advice, -all of which is included in our daycare price. 

During training we use healthy treats to stimulate positive associations. We have a no barking or rough play policy, and we limit playtime to the outdoor environment and reserve the indoor environment for naps and cuddles only which teaches dogs to be calm around visitors and children. 

In addition to daycare, we offer group obedience classes and 1:1 training for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and challenges. 

Our Founder, Edita Sykora is specialised in working with reactive dogs using behaviour modification techniques like classical conditioning. 

STAFF

We have 6 full-time members of staff in rotation, all fully trained. Our Founder, Edita Sykora oversees the day-to-day daycare and training sessions, and support our owners with training advice when needed.

DOGGIE CRITERIA

We only provide boarding for our regular daycare dogs.We accept unaltered dogs, however, only until they reach maturity which is around a year. We are unable to accept unaltered adult dogs in our group as the risk of displaying territorial behaviour, marking, fighting, and potentially running away is very high during the mating season. All dogs in our care must be fully vaccinated. 

THE DOGGIE DAYCARE ENVIRONMENT

We pride ourselves on taking time to create a calm, safe and happy space for your dog, and for him/her to have enough attention and space to continuously learn and develop.

We ensure that we always have a high ratio of staff to the number of dogs in our care, and that we have the right mixture of dogs booked every day. 

We insist on dogs attending daycare at minimum 3 times per week every week because we know this way your hound is going to be comfortable in a group of dogs that he/she knows well, and with us. 

Our aim is to build the right relationship with your dogs which will allow us to better support you with training so that your hound can become a confident, well-socialised and a well-mannered pooch.

We teach dogs how to play nicely, politely and safely, and we already have a well-established group of amazing dogs. 

Everything we do is designed to promote the best development for your pup.
