Helping busy dog owners raise happier, calmer and more fulfilled dogs through expert care, enrichment and training.

What brings you here today?

I want my dog to stay where they feel safest - at home.

I hate leaving my dog home while I'm at work.

My dog deserves more than a quick walk around the block.

I'm tired of apologising for my dog's behaviour.

We've used HPWT for individual training, walking and doggy day care, and they have been excellent across the whole journey. Our anxious and reactive dachshunds have come such a long way with their support, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for help or just a fun (and expertly guided) place to walk or look after your dog during the day.

Elliot and his team have been nothing short of incredible through their customer service. I had looked at other options such as Mad Paws, however the level of care and passion the entire team have towards every single dog that goes here is spectacular. I absolutely trust that they are providing the best care as my dog is always pulling on her lead trying to get inside (even if we happen to walk past on a non daycare day). I’ve seen so many other dogs being dropped off that have the same happy reaction which says it all!!

Highly recommended! My dog starts wagging his tail the moment we arrive and leaves with an even bigger wag. He comes home happy, and sleeps right through the night. The place is clean, spacious and it truly lives up to its name — happy paws and waggy tails every visit! He always looks forward to his daycare days. Thank you to the amazing team for taking such great care of our little boy
