Dog socialization in Leicester

“We took our son's large dog for a run around. On the positive side it was great to have a big space that was secure. He was more interested in the smells and horses he found fascinating. He didn't play on any of the equipment as he hadn't a clue what to do. We just booked half hour which I was exhausted by (not him) on my hands and knees encouraging him to go through tunnels, jumping up and down for trampolines. But alas he would use no equipment. They seem fairly strict with timings. It was easy to find. Entry was c”

“Incredible and the origin of Storm the new member of our family. Andrea, the owner, is very thorough and knowledgeable and we had the best possible experience with her.”

“We were recommended WitsEnd by a friend last year during a very difficult time when our French Bulldog had sadly undergone spinal surgery as a result of IVDD. And I am so very grateful that we were. Pumba was completely paraplegic and despite a 20% chance from our vets that he would walk again, with time, professional expertise and advice and true care for our Pumbaa, Shahad has helped him throughout the year and he is now able to walk again. We continue to visit Shahad weekly and will do so for the foreseeable. We can not recommend WitsEnd enough. True care and dedication for the dogs. Thank you so much. I genuinely do not think we would be in this position without them. From Pumbaa, Dan and Deanna x”

“Love Anna and the team! So caring and professional. Penny loves them all!!!”

“I have only ever trusted one place with my flatcoated retriever Fin, and that's Sandras: she is quite simply the best. She loves and understands dogs and goes the extra mile for a thoroughly superb job. Fin is a bit anxious being separated from me - the exception being Sandra. He also often thinks any kind of grooming is either a game or something to be stopped immediately. Either way, he is not always cooperative. Sandra handles him perfectly and he appears smiling and show-ready after every visit. It is such a blessing to have found Woody Woods. 6 stars would be my rating!”

“Lovely friendly local pub with friendly staff and folk.”

“Esme is a brilliant groomer. She is always so lovely and polite when I come in with my dog. Coco loves esme and always comes home looking fabulous. I will never go elsewhere! She also managed to fit me in during the busy lead up to Christmas which I really appreciate as she opened up extra appointments. I could not recommend her more!”

“Charlotte is amazing with dogs, my one is an especially challenging Spaniel and she does brilliant with her. Molly loves her walks, I’m so happy with the service I receive from Otis and Friends ❤️❤️”

“Diana is extremely professional and reliable. Diana and my dog Diesel had an instant report on first meeting, she listened to us and mirrored our canine commands, her canine qualifications exceeded any other in our area and I would recommend her services to anyone without hesitation, knowing that I can completely trust Diana with a loved member of our family is so reassuring.”

“Fantastic place- open early for commute to work.”

“I have been taking my dog since he was a very small puppy. Lucy is fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. When my puppy became very anxious, Lucy has taken time and care to help him become less fearful. She is also brilliant with general advice. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else, he is treated like a king and it is very clear how much she loves dogs.”

“Came in for a beer after being to a funeral.. never been here before. The landlady was so lovely and welcoming. We ended up staying until closing! She (Lauren) and her husband Steve are the best people I’ve ever met! So welcoming, funny and made our night after a difficult day. We love you Lauren and Steve! Thanks for giving us the most great and awful shots of our lives! Stuff we never had before! Massively appreciate the effort to give us a great night!”

“Great friendly staff, lovely big place with plenty of seating and free pool tables & games to play. Good menu with fair prices.”

“We received a warm welcome to this very well ran established pub ran by Jo and her loving staff. Very welcoming and very professional ran pub, my daughter is scared of dogs and made sure all dogs where put on leads to make sure she was as comfortable as possible without dogs free-roaming”

“Outstanding Service from Ashleigh – Highly Recommend! Ashleigh has been walking our cockapoo, Poppy, and we couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. From the start, her professionalism and genuine love for animals stood out. She took the time to get to know Poppy’s personality, preferences, and quirks, ensuring every walk is tailored to her needs. Poppy absolutely adores Ashleigh and gets so excited whenever she sees her, which speaks volumes about the bond they’ve formed. Ashleigh is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to keep us updated with photos and detailed updates after every walk. It’s reassuring to know Poppy is in such caring and capable hands. We’ve noticed a positive difference in Poppy since Ashleigh started walking her – she’s happier, more relaxed, and gets the perfect amount of exercise. Whether it’s rain or shine, Ashleigh’s commitment to providing top-notch care never falters. We can’t recommend Ashleigh highly enough. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and truly passionate about what they do, Ashleigh is the one. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our Poppy!”

“We highly recommend Fetch DWS. Most importantly, Digby would highly recommend Victoria (and Charlie)! Digby's walking needs are highly variable due to ongoing joint issues and Victoria has been extremely understanding and accommodating! I love receiving photos and videos of their walks, and we feel relaxed knowing our pupper is in great hands! Thanks Victoria :)”

“Alison has been walking my dog for over a year . She is very caring , trusting and helpful . Would recommend her 100% .”

“Olly was very happy there and can not wait to get back”

“We booked Claire to look after our Husky Nico over the weekend of our wedding. She was super friendly and professional, and immediately put us at ease about leaving him with her. Nico liked her right away, and it’s clear that she’s a real dog lover :) Claire visited multiple times over Saturday to give him some company and fuss, as well as feed him and let him out. Plus a visit first thing Sunday before we got home. She sent us lots of updates, photos and videos to reassure us that he was happy, which I really appreciated. Nico can sometimes be a bit anxious about new situations, but we came home to a very relaxed and happy dog who had clearly enjoyed his time with Claire! Thank you so much Claire for doing such a wonderful job looking after him and for helping us be able to fully enjoy our day!”

“Adrian is very knowledgeable and this really shows in the classes that I have attended. Lovely friendly environment. Extremely happy with the results!.”

“Jane is always very reliable and excellent with my dog. He loves going for walkies with her. I would definitely recommend her highly. Thanks Jane.”

“So met keith and arranged for a visit with our very nervous standard schnauzer Jeff. He’s been ungroomable since we rescued him, until he met Keith! Been to a few who have tried and failed miserably, but today we’ve turned the corner! Keith you are truly amazing and we’ve got a lovely looking and smelling boy who’s come home all happy rather than stressed same for us! Find the whole thing so stressful as he gets so distressed but not today! Keith has gone back to basics so we can start from scratch and Jeff looks delicious! Thank you so very much!”
