A Day at Day Care: What Dog Care in Melton Mowbray Really Looks Like
At Stapleford Doggy Day Care, we know that dogs need much more than a cushion and a cuddle at the end of the day. They thrive on exercise, mental stimulation, companionship, and the freedom to simply be dogs.
That’s why we’ve built a countryside retreat just minutes from Melton Mowbray, where dogs can spend their days running, playing, resting, and socialising under our team’s expert supervision. Think of it as school, playgroup, and holiday camp all rolled into one, designed to keep your dog healthy, happy, and fulfilled.
So, what does a day at dog day care actually look like? Let’s take you behind the scenes.
What Does a Morning at Dog Day Care Look Like?
Mornings set the tone for the day - ours begin with excitement, structure, and play.
From the moment dogs arrive, we welcome each one with a friendly hello before guiding them into our secure outdoor paddocks. Some head straight into a game of chase, while others take their time sniffing through our woodland areas, full of interesting scents and natural shade. More sociable pups often run to greet their friends, ready for play.
Morning activity helps dogs burn energy, stay calm later in the day, and reduces boredom-related behaviours such as barking, chewing, or digging at home.
Midday Calm: Rest & Recharge
Dogs need downtime just as much as playtime.
After an energetic morning outdoors, we encourage a period of rest in our cosy indoor chill-out barn. With soft mats and blankets, it’s a calm space where dogs can nap, rehydrate, or enjoy their food from home.
Puppies particularly benefit from this structured rest, which supports their healthy growth, while older dogs appreciate the slower pace before heading back outside.
We also use this time for extras such as our wash-down service in muddy weather, or a quick session in our on-site grooming parlour for dogs needing a brush or tidy-up.
Afternoons of Adventure & Learning
Afternoon sessions focus on enrichment - both physical and mental.
When dogs are refreshed, afternoons are dedicated to interactive play and learning. We make use of agility-style obstacles, recall games, and group activities to strengthen both confidence and social skills.
Puppies might be gently introduced to polite greetings and patience, while older dogs enjoy structured group games that challenge their focus. With supervision, dogs naturally learn from each other, whether it’s a confident Labrador showing a spaniel how to join in, or an older dog modelling calm behaviour to excitable pups.
