2025 Summary

December 29, 20251 min read

Wow what a year 2025 has been!

2025 has been a year of learning, for Sara it has been a year of studying behind the scenes, for dog trainer qualifications, behaviour aspects (like resource guarding, recall (alternative ways to get the dogs to come back), games to play with the dogs on walks and a level 3 in daycare and boarding.

We have also had our first time of being nominated for awards, were we were shortlisted as finalists and althoughn we didn't win (it was a national awards ceremony) we did get highly recommended which means we came in the top 100, which we feel is a pretty amazing achievement.

Small Business Awards Finalist Certificate

We have had a change of team members with many of our team moving on to being self employed, and we wish them luck.

Christmas 2025 saw us have our first dog free Christmas since we opened, it was a strange couple of days, but it gave us plenty of time to get some of the boring admin tasks, like the website and filing of paperwork.

We have also been looking at the different things we cna offer our customers in 2026 to give you a better life with your dog.

Finally, I just want to say thank you to all our customers past and present for your support of our business and the friendship you have offered me personally over this past year.

Quite simply for the work I do I wouldn’t be able to have a dog without “Who lets your dog out”…the fact that my dog loves the days she spends with Sara and her team meeting other dogs is a massive bonus…..my puppy literally runs out to meet them when they arrive!

I consider myself lucky to have found such flexible and reliable care for my VIP puppy

Thanks WLYDO

Sara and the team have had our rescue puppy for almost a year, and they have been amazing. Caddie was very nervous around people when we first got her but the team understood that and have been fantastic with her! Could not recommend these guys anymore!
