The best place for your 4 legged member of the family they'll not wanna leave. Ashley and Heather have been amazing with Luna and always keep me up to date when am on holiday with lots of photos.she's bursting to get back to daycare on Wednesday after a 2 week hiatus due to her booster & kennel cough jabs.
I left my border collie, Lily, along with my parents in law's border collie, Fergie, (siblings from same litter) with Good Dog Academy for one night boarding as we had a family wedding to attend. I was very anxious as I have never left my nervous border collie in kennels before and she is 6! Ashley and Heather were so reassuring from the initial texts to when we finally brought the dogs over. They are ball obsessed so the girls played with them despite the freezing cold weather and sent me loads of gorgeous update photos. I don't feel at ease leaving Lily anywhere as she has separation anxiety, but would not hesitate to leave her here again. It does take time to win her trust and the girls gave her the space she needed to adjust and I am sure she will build a great rapport with them when we return. Thank you so much for making a really stressful experience for me and Lily not stressful and for looking after our collies so well!
After seeing the reviews we thought the Good Dog Academy NI were up for the challenge to take on Isla. She's very noise conscious and not really been socialised with other dogs, unless we've met them on our walks. When I dropped her off in the morning she was made so welcome, I couldn't believe how quickly she responded to Ashley and Heather. We discussed her history and they agreed to take things slowly with meeting other dogs. I'm not sure Isla even knew I left! That evening we got loads of photos of Isla out playing ball...her favourite pastime. The girls spent so much time playing with her, we are so grateful. Her "report card" was a "could do better socialising " 🙄 but that is something to be worked on when she goes back for a little longer stay over in the New Year. Although she was happy to see us when we went yo pick her up, she was all over the staff and unbelievably relaxed with them. So great facilities, fantastic caring staff and we will have no hesitation bringing Isla back to stay with her friends again. 🥰🐶
The only place we will leave our dog when we go on holiday. Rooms are well presented and spotless(dogs room), close to the airport and we got lovely updates of Bella when we were away on holiday(which meant a lot to us). Thanks very much, see you in January!
By the looks of these photos our very enthusiastic boy had a great time here. We only had him stay for one night as a trial run for another occasion and the place looks great for dogs! Not only are the dog areas very secure but the entire place is gated which gave us reassurance, thanks again for having Otis 😊

Where every dog gets a vacation of their own—safe, fun, and full of care!
