Give your puppy the best start in life with structured, safe, and rewarding social experiences at Stapleford Doggy Day Care.

Puppy Day Care in Stapleford

Our rural-based dog care facility near Melton Mowbray and Oakham is unlike any standard pet-sitting service. We blend the comforts of a home-from-home with structured routines. Here's how we help socialise your puppy the right way:

 

  • Exposure to new dogs, people, and environments in a controlled, positive setting

  • Consistent reinforcement of good behaviours, like waiting calmly, recall, and polite greetings

  • Safe play with dogs of various ages and temperaments, promoting confidence

  • Routine and structure, which is essential during adolescence (6 to 18 months)

  • Reduced energy at home, resulting in a calmer pup ready to cuddle

 

Daycare becomes a rewarding space where tail wags and good manners go hand in paw.

The Benefits of Puppy Day Care for Socialisation

Book With Us

Puppyhood is a critical period for learning and development. From 8 weeks to around 18 months (depending on breed), puppies experience an impressionable stage of life that shapes their behaviour for years to come. Poor socialisation can lead to nervousness, anxiety, and behavioural issues. That's why our structured puppy day care in Stapleford is the perfect environment to foster your puppy’s confidence and calm, sociable nature.


We provide a warm, nurturing space for puppies to interact, explore, and learn – all while having fun.

Why Puppy Socialisation Matters

Book With Us

Our team uses positive reinforcement throughout the day. Whether your puppy is learning to:

 

  • Sit patiently when being petted or groomed

  • Greet a new friend without barking

  • Come when called

  • Wait calmly for their turn

 

They will always be rewarded with affection and praise. This reinforces trust and strengthens the bond between your puppy and our carers.

Q. Will my puppy learn basic commands at day care?

A. We build on what you have started at home and through regular structure and reinforcement, your puppy will strengthen their response to cues like "sit," "stay," and "come," making your life easier at home.

Q. Is day care safe for young puppies?

A. Absolutely. Our facility is designed for safety, with constant supervision and tailored play groups based on age and energy levels. We also assess every puppy beforehand with a Free Half-Day Trial.

Q. What age should I start socialising my puppy?

A. We recommend starting as soon as your puppy is fully vaccinated (usually around 12 weeks). Early socialisation builds confidence and reduces the risk of behavioural issues later in life.
