My dogs love it here. Always come back happy, healthy, and fragrant. The staff obviously care a lot.

My French bulldog coco stayed here for 7 nights picked her up this morning she happy healthy clean and looked like she had the best time the owners are lovely friendly and really took great care of my girl she be going bk next year so I can rest easy now knowing she be taking care of big thank u ☺️

The guys at End cottage were great. Our 1yr old Doberman stayed for a week while we were away. Drop off and pick up was very smooth and they were really helpful asking what his diet was (dry/wet food etc) Would definitely recommend and use End Cottage Kennels again! Thank you guys 👍🏻

First time boarding our Jackapoo Ozzy for more than one night. He was clearly well looked after, he was clean and very happy. Highly recommend.Thank you all.

I cannot recommend Tom and Sharne highly enough. I have two Dobermans (aged 4 and 6) who, due to a change in my personal circumstances, had not received the training or boundaries they needed. When they came to live with me in March this year, I was unable to take them out at all — they were extremely reactive to other dogs, constantly barking and trying to get to them, even when walking in a secure field. My 6-year-old girl in particular is very sensitive and anxious, and I really wanted to give them the best chance of becoming part of the family. I found Tom and Sharne and decided to send both dogs to their four-week boot camp — and I can honestly say they have worked miracles. Both dogs are now so much more relaxed, especially my girl. They can walk calmly next to other dogs without reacting, and they are able to settle and relax even when dogs are nearby. For the first time, I can confidently take them out myself and continue the great work Tom and Sharne have done. The support didn’t end at the boot camp either. They gave us a detailed handover, were incredibly helpful and adaptable throughout, and reassured me that they are there if I need any guidance going forward. My Dobermans are not only calmer and happier, but they also look fantastic — they were overweight before, and now they’ve toned up and look exactly as a healthy Doberman should. It’s clear how much care and love Tom and Sharne gave them — I can see the bond they built, and I know my dogs were very well looked after. I will definitely be booking with them again whenever I need to go away.

I dropped my beagle off to Vislor kennels when we went away on holiday and they were fabulous. Sharne was very professional, good communication and sent me some updates too when I was on holiday. Milo seemed to of have the best time and he’s been knackered since he’s been home too so they’ve well and truly spoilt him and kept him very busy! I will 100% be using these guys again very shortly whenever I need overnight care again! So easy and so chill throughout the whole process! Thanks guys xx

We sent Max (pur 10 month old Patterjack) to Tom and Sharne after several other trainers struggled to help him. Max was incredibly reactive to everything when out on walks, barking at most things and pulling hard on the lead. Tom and Sharne had Max for 3 weeks and the we cannot believe the difference in Max since collecting him. He walks by our side now, no barking and we can take him to busy areas without any concern or worry. We had regular updates throughout the 3 weeks from them both including photos and videos of Max and he was clearly well looked after and has formed a strong bond with Tom after his time there. They also offering boarding so if we ever need to board Max we will 100% be sending him here as they were absolutely brilliant with him. Thanks so much Tom & Sharne!

Approached Sharne and Tom for support for our boy Murphy to help better manage his anxiety which made him reactive and lack of attention in his walks. 3 weeks in residential training and the effect has been huge. First walk back with him today after getting him home, walks to heel and past dogs running up to him with no bother - now is the time for us to put their hard work into more practice but it’s made walking him so much more enjoyable and he is far more relaxed. Couldn’t recommend highly enough and worth every penny!

Really cool venue for agility. Beautiful AstroTurf indoors and 2 outdoor fenced rings all with galican equipment. New since my last visit, a few items for sale, dog treats, food, toys, and ice cream (human and dog) with easy touchscreen payment.

Very friendly well organised perfect place to compete and have fun with our dogs. Very lucky to have such a great place to go

A top quality dog training facility

Had a great first session! I was worried my dog was to naughty to be trained 😂 but she took to it straight away. She was like a new dog within 10 minutes. Very impressed with the techniques used and the outcome👍🏽 Highly recommend

Sean was amazing and helped out very much, I’m from Leicester and I highly recommend him to anyone needing any help with their dogs.

Sean has been a great help with my 3 year old Coton de Tulear and advice and guidance he has given me on how to work with Peggy ,she gone from a very nervous reactive dog on lead to a much calmer dog that is improving everyday .

Had a one hour online session with Sean and it was really enjoyable and made a difference before we'd finished! Would highly recommend! Sean had previously contacted me to ask what problems we were having, and tailored the session around those. First we started with the basics of WHY the dog is doing what they do, things to avoid doing which exacerbate the problem. Finally he walked us through the way to correct the dogs, helping us with technique and commands, correcting how we completed it and offering further tips for problematic scenarios. Even after the hour, the dogs were listening to commands and accepting the corrections better, not perfect but after an hour it made a huge difference! Now to put it into consistent practice!

Sean gave us a correction technique to use to help us to minimise hard puppy biting and jumping. He also advised us on dog psychology and nutrition. We are extremely pleased with the recommendation of the food company. Our puppy loves the food they provide. Life with the puppy is now much improved. Thank you.
