Board & Training for Maidstone

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

A home stay, not a kennel run

Maidstone, Sittingbourne and the Medway towns are a straight run on the M20 or M2. Whether it’s a weekend away or a fortnight’s holiday, your dog stays in a home with a small number of other dogs rather than a row of kennels.

Maidstone is in Mid Kent & Medway, alongside Sittingbourne, Rochester, Chatham & Gillingham and Tenterden.

“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
