Dog boarding and training in Croydon

I’m Tom, a licensed dog trainer in Ashford, Kent. I collect dogs from Croydon, so yours gets a proper countryside break in my home, with long walks, training and daily updates, then I bring them back to you.

Board & Training for Croydon

Your dog stays with Tom and gets daily one-to-one training, then comes home with a handover session.

Room to roam

From Croydon to Richmond, London owners send their dogs to Kent for the space they can’t get in town: long walks, a garden and a calm home routine. Tom collects from your door and brings your dog back at the end of the stay.

Croydon is one of the South West London areas Tom covers, alongside Sutton, Lambeth and Wandsworth.

Getting to Paws from Croydon

I’m based in Ashford, roughly 70 minutes from Croydon via the M20, M25 and A23 outside rush hour. Most London owners have me collect and drop off, so your dog never needs a train or a taxi.

“Our golden retriever, Maverick, absolutely loves boarding with Tom – he greets Tom with pure joy every time he sees him! Tom always does such a good job taking care of Maverick and keeping him engaged, and we always come back to a happy and tired dog.”
Delle Chan · Kent · Maverick (Golden Retriever)
“We met Tom through dog training and he was honestly the best trainer ever. He would send us 5-minute videos showing exactly what he was doing with Bisous, whether it was lead pulling, recall, or even things like sit and stay, and coached us through everything.”
Freddie Berridge · Kent · Bisous
