Board & Training for Dartford
Your dog stays with Tom and gets daily one-to-one training, then comes home with a handover session.
A calmer alternative to kennels
West Kent is 40 to 50 minutes from Ashford. If your usual kennels are full, or your dog finds kennels stressful, a home stay with only a few dogs can be a much calmer option, with daily updates so you can see how they’re doing.
Dartford is in West Kent, alongside Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks.

What dog owners say
“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.”
“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.”
