Every dog in these photos has boarded or trained with Tom. Boarding dogs live in his home as part of the family, with sofa naps, garden play and two walks a day around the Kent countryside. Training dogs get short daily sessions on things like recall, lead walking and settling, with plenty of rest in between. Use the filters to see boarding, training, or Tom at work.
