Barking Around

Our golden retriever puppy, Buddy, absolutely loves his time with all the team at Barking Around. We feel super safe and confident with the care and attention he receives from the team. Its been great for him to be able to socialise whilst the world has been more restricted and he is a better pup/dog for it. Sam is a wealth of information for which we are eternally grateful! Definitely recommend.

We have a puppy at Barking Around 2 days a week and they absolutely love it. More often than not they'll jump in the van looking for their friends when being picked up in the morning and give Sam a little cuddle in the evening when they get dropped off. It's been great for them to meet a whole range of dogs of different sizes and ages too.The first day our pup went we were sent videos to see how they were settling in, which was great for us to see them doing well. We still get occasional updates when they're being particularly cute!Communication with Sam has been great, he's happy to help with any advice and questions we have. The rest of the team are all lovely as well and seem to really love and care for the dogs.There's also been an update to the website recently which has made the booking process even easier and helps with the organisation of vaccine updates.I'd recommend to anyone in the area!

Our puppy loves spending time at Barking Around. We are using day care for socialising our pup but seeing how happy he is going with Sam and tiered he is coming back we know that he had a good time and we can be sure that he is taken care of.Sam is always helpful and giving us advices on what we should work on with our pup.

Sam and the team at Barking Around are great! Our pup is always so excited to go to doggy daycare and comes back thoroughly exhausted and happy.Sam obviously cares so much about the dogs and we were instantly comfortable that ours would be cared for and well looked after when away from us. Sam's always happy to give advice on diet and care and is really helping our pup grow into a confident, content dog. Would thoroughly recommend!

Our toy poodle puppy Gus has been going to Barking Around daycare for 4 months now, and we could not be happier with the service! Sam and the team have an obvious love and passion for dogs; and make us feel so comfortable leaving Gus in their capable hands. Gus is always so excited to see them when he’s picked up in the morning. We also love receiving updates throughout the day and following all the Instagram stories! 100% would highly recommend Barking Around to anyone looking for a doggy daycare service.

Sam is great! He is so knowledgeable, friendly and understanding. Our little Frenchie Tommy cannot wait to go to daycare and loves Sam and his other barking around friends. Using barking around has proved invaluable for his training, development and socialisation. He is a happier dog!

Sam at Barking Around has been extremely helpful and is very caring. We are first time dog owners and Sam has offered both reassurance and advice.Our puppy was incredibly nervous of new people and initially very scared. However Barking Around has massively boosted her confidence. She looks forward to going every week and now runs out of the front door! She loves seeing all of her dog friends and having time to play.It is also really convenient that she is picked up and dropped off at our house.We highly recommend day care!Angharad, Robbie & Cleo

Our dog, Maggy, have been going to day care with Barking Around twice a week since Aug 2020. Every time Sam picks her up she goes crazy as she is soo happy that she is going to spend the whole day with Sam, his team, and other dogs. Maggy's happiness is the best sign of the quality of this amazing service. We are fortunate that Sam runs this business. If you are reading this to make up your mind about using Barking Around, don't think twice. I know that most of Sam's clients come from referrals, because everyone is simply happy with the service he provides.

Ketchup is obsessed with going to daycare. He stares out the window each morning waiting for the school bus to pick him up and throws himself in excitement at Sam/Becky/Libby when they arrive.He loves socialising with all the other pups and it's a great opportunity for him to meet lots of new dogs of all sizes.It's great to get all the video updates of their walks each day via Instagram so we can see what Ketchup has been getting up to. We've already recommended to some other dog owners who have since signed up and would happily recommend again.

Sam and the team take fantastic care of our nearly 2 year old Labrador, Jacob. He is always so enthusiastic to head off with Barking Around in the morning and returns sleepy from a busy day playing and socialising and a very happy dog indeed. We’re really pleased with how confident and how good with so many other dogs he his, and the lessons that Sam, Becky, Libby and all the pups have taught him in his days there! We also really value Sam’s flexibility with daycare and boarding. We would recommend BA to anyone looking for support in raising a happy, socialised dog. Thank you very much indeed, Sam!
