Board & Training for Hythe

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

Travelling abroad?

Ashford sits right by the Channel Tunnel and the M20 to Dover, so if you’re heading off on the ferry or Le Shuttle, Tom can time collection around your crossing. Your dog settles in before you leave and is home soon after you get back.

Hythe is in Folkestone, Dover & Romney Marsh, alongside Folkestone, New Romney and Dover.

“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
