When you open the car and your dog smells the Barkley their tail will start wagging and doesn't seem to stop!

It's a great environment for socialising and relaxing too. The owners are caring and take your dogs needs into great consideration. My puppy, Brandy is worn out and happy when I pick her up and is great with other dogs due to early exposure.

You won't find a better facility in the area that will cater for all your needs.

Thanks Barkley

We get brilliant day care from Naomi and when we've needed it have had really supportive help and advice on feeding and behaviour from all of the Barkley team.

We did a dog yoga class recently, and my dog isn't normally one for slow paced anything. I can't begin to explain the change in our training. It's helped my focus as much as anything - which was, no doubt, our biggest problem.

Just the simple matter of using a mat for training has changed our whole regime. He see's the mat as the fun treat time and is actually working hard to understand what I want him to do, and by focusing on what he does on the mat I am finding it so much easier to show him what I want him to do.

Top class dog lovers. Somewhere you know your four legged mate will be looked after and spoilt to bits!!! Cannot speak more highly of this place

This is the first time in 4 years that I have had to leave woody with someone other than friends or family. I could not have been told about any where better lovely people to care for your dog in a beautiful setting. I do hope woody behaves himself. X thank you for accommodating woody at such short notice. Highly recommend the Barkley x

The most amazing place for our dog EVER!!!! Our dog is an extremely important member of our family. In looking for day care for our boy we took a huge amount of time to find a place and person who we would even consider looking after Cooper. Finally we found Pierre!



We would never consider going anywhere else. Pierre looks after Cooper as a complete professional and also someone who truly loves dogs and understands them!!!!



We cannot recommend Pierre highly enough and would be more than happy to provide, without hesitation, a gleeming refrence for Pierre and the Barkley.



Thanks Pierre!

The dogs had a fantastic time. Safe, well cared for and definitely entertained and kept busy on lovely walks, even with a swim included! So glad we found The Barkley!

Our dog Coco absolutely loved being with Pierre @ the barkley,whether its was going for a dog walk or day care, she loved it, and spending time with all the other doggies. I would thoroughly recommend The Barkley , very homely, with plenty of outdoor space to run around !! Very Happy

Our Molly clearly had a fabulous time at The Barkley judging from the photographs Pierre sent us at different points during our holiday.

Her energy levels are very high and it was no mean feat to keep her happy and engaged in this home from home.

Highly recommended.

Thanks Pierre.

My very lively 9 month old labrador stayed with this lovely couple this summer, very hard to leave him but felt immediately relaxed as he ran through the door.I had lots of reasurance and texts to say he was fine...he had a fabulous time!!!! Highly recommended, Ellie

Luci has been working with me and Bandit for about 4 months now. We have completed their Level 1 and Level 2 awards and are now working on continuation awards and a routine for a show ( yikes!) Bandit loves the reward and praise based learning, it helps him focus and socialise in a controlled environment. The benefit and progress is amazing to see from the start of his training to now, he is a reformed dog

I have been working with Luci for the last 6 months with my two dogs. I can't thank Luci enough for all the help and advice she has given me. My confidence has grown with the knowledge I have gained and know that my dogs have a much happier life. I would thoroughly recommend her services to anyone.

Five star care in a wonderful setting. Your pet will be having a better holiday than you are. X

First time at The Barkley. Super day learning doggy yoga. Excellent instructors in a safe and relaxed environment. Highly recommend trying this with your dog.

Being first time dog owners we knew we'd benefit from some training and guidance. Luci has been amazing with our dog and talking us through different techniques to help his learning. Dexter has really enjoyed going to training so he can show off all his learning. Not only has Luci taught us to teach basic commands and tricks, she's also shown us how to connect with Dexter which is worth its weight in gold. Luci is so approachable with any questions and has a genuine passion for what she does which is really clear to see! Thanks for everything Luci! X ��
