Good dog academy is 100% focus is on the dogs happiness and wellbeing. These girls focus is making the dogs safe and happy . Sadly a lot of other business pure focus is the money! Not here , I wouldn’t take my wee Teddy anywhere else, he loves the girls. When we picked him up he was waiting on Heather to get in the car with him🤣

We have a border collie who was born deaf and he has a lot of special health needs - arthritis, dysplasia and lives with chronic pain so is on a lot of medication. Tadhg can be reactitive. We were really anxious to find a place for him to stay when we had an urgent event to attend in May. The Good Dog Academy were brilliant - listened to us and to what Tadhg needed; kept us informed and reassured while he was staying with them for a few days and he enjoyed his stay. Just excellent. He's going back in September and October while we prepare for a big trip in November. Trustworthy and kind.

The very best daycare by far. I can leave my pet here knowing she is in very safe hands and will have the best time.

My husband and I left our 2 boys there and couldn’t be happier! They were happy, well fed with plenty of exercise and daily updates with pics from girls. We are booked again!

GDA has a brilliant set-up. Its daycare and outside play areas are big and welcoming and its kennels are top-quality - clean, safe and cosy. Our lab loves her stays there and the excellent staff always look after her so well.

Our dog boards there at least twice a year and loves Ashley and Heather. These girls are so professional and caring giving regular updates and photos. Our boy runs in every time he goes and that says everything. 🙌

We have used GDA on numerous occasions and our dog is made to feel like one of the family we would take him nowhere else the Ashley and Heather are amazing

Staff are amazing, they dogs have the best time, so well cared for, any concerns or requirements are absolutely not a problem, they send you photos of how your dogs are doing and let you know how they have been eating sleeping etc. will never use another boarder again

Good Dog Academy is the only place I will leave my 2 dogs when I am away, I have been to previous boarding facilities and they were not great experience both for myself and my dogs but good dog academy treat the dogs that come to stay with them like their own, I got updates and pics regularly and when I picked them up them didn’t want to leave, as much as I don’t want to admit it but they didn’t miss me at all, they always have the best time are are treated exceptionally!! Best daycare and boarding facility I have ever known!

They are the best boarding and daycare facility ive ever used! We have used them for both daycrae and boarding and my dog always has the best time! he gets so well looked after... the staff are so friendly and welcoming, they know so much about dogs and were even able to spend time with me and offer advice. They send regular photos and videos of my dog when he is in their care. I would highly recommend!!

I cannot find the exact words to describe how happy both my rescue Harley and me are to have found Good Dog Academy. I started going here after a really bad experience on another Day Care and like most owners I know Harley is more than a dog and I was worried. Very soon it became clear that I had no need to worry. Ashley and Heather are amazing. They go that extra mile and know Harley s personality and how to be around him He absolutely loves it and when I pull up in the car he is so excited to get out. I just open the door and put he goes to one of the amazing ladies we have come to just love. When I come to collect him it is a battle to get him into the car!. I would give every award going to this amazing place
