Dog Walking

We walk all types of dogs and believe that all can benefit from a Top Dogs adventure. The experience is especially beneficial for energetic and easily excitable dogs. Providing them with an outlet to let off all that excess energy gives them a calmer home life and makes them a much more pleasant (and less stressful) dog to live with. If your dog is socialised, friendly and has good recall, send him along. All sizes of dog are welcome. Even dogs with lower energy levels require a daily walk for their general well being. They are pack animals and need exercise and socialisation to remain healthy and happy.

With Top Dogs, they will be able to join a pack that suits their needs. We have several walks going out everyday with experienced handlers. Whether it is a gentle amble around Ally Pally or a rambunctious race around Trent Park, or something between the two, your dog will find the right companions with us.

We collect dogs from their homes and exercise them for a minimum of one hour (not including travelling times) around local parks and woodlands – often in the wonderful Trent Park near Enfield. Under continuous supervision, they are encouraged to run, swim and play games with each other and with their human pack leader. To ensure the safety of your dog and other park users, we will never walk more than six dogs per handler. This is in the best interest of everyone and makes sure that the adventure is enjoyed by humans and dogs alike.

Doggie Day Care

When one walk is just not enough, some dogs can come for doggie day care. Owners who are away from home for the whole day may prefer to send their pooch out for a day with the pack. Then you can have a guilt free day, knowing he or she is having a wonderful time, walking and getting lots of cuddles in our daycare centre. Your dog will make friends and many of our clients tell us how happy their dogs are to meet other pack members in the park at weekends.

Dogs who come for day care get two walks and spend the rest of their time at our premises. They have their own room with access to a yard at the back, where they can rest and socialise. They are not caged or crated (except on instructions from a vet) so the playtime goes on.

There is also an option of half day care. Dogs can spend either just a morning or an afternoon with us. During their half day, one walk is included in the service.

To top it off, your dog will be dropped home tired, happy and clean – saving you time and energy! Before they are returned home, muddy dogs receive a complimentary paw wash and tummy rinse if necessary. They can also take advantage of any of our grooming services, if booked in advance.

** Spaces for this service are now very limited **

The day care service is run approximately from 9am-4pm. Half days are 9am-12.30pm or 12.30pm-4pm. These timings are not exact and both half day and full day care may well be longer that then 7 and 3.5 hours listed, particularly during the summer months. Dogs maybe collected from as early as 8am and not delivered home until 5pm or after. Extended hours can be arranged, at no extra cost, but may need to be by client collection and delivery.

Grooming

We understand a trip to the groomers can be stressful for your dog. Whether they have had a bad experience in the past, hate the sound of the hairdryer, or don’t like to be separated from their owner – we take the time to create a stress-free environment so your dog can get to know us and feel safe and comfortable. Your dog’s safety is our priority so our front door is locked at all times.

What we offer

Puppy intro – For pups 3-6 months we offer a gentle introduction to grooming. This includes a bath with our natural shampoos, blow dry, ear check and clean, paw trim and nail clipping, sanitary trim, eye trim and a spritz of dog perfume. This allows your puppy to get used to the sites, sounds and smells of the salon to ensure a stress-free experience going forward.

Bath and Brush – Bath and brush includes a bath with natural shampoo, blow dry, brush out and de-matting (if necessary), ear check and clean, paw trim and nail clipping, sanitary trim, eye trim and a spritz of dog perfume. We encourage our clients, especially poodle-mix breeds, to book in for a bath and brush in between full grooms to keep on top of knots.

Full groom – This is a groom to breed standard, or a pet cut of your choice. This includes bath with natural shampoo, blow dry, brush out and de-matting (if necessary), clipping, scissoring or hand-stripping the coat, ear check and clean, paw trim and nail clipping, sanitary trim, eye trim and a spritz of dog perfume. Prices vary on breed and condition of coat.

Grooming Testimonials

“Laura has groomed Merlin since she started at Top Dogs. She was very keen to groom him to breed standard but is also good at listening to my ideas about the practicality of having a pedigree dog. I am continually asked who grooms my dog and am happy to recommend her especially at bedlington meets. Merlin is always happy to see her, which is the sign of a very good groomer.”

“We have a beautiful Golden Doodle called Ruby and are happy to say that Laura provides a wonderful grooming service.”
