Happy Hounds really are the most loveliest team. Our Puppy (now 9 months old) has been going to them for walks and day boarding since she was tiny. As soon as we see Hayley or Shirley, Willow goes mad with excitement. She can not wait to spend the time with them. She is well cared for and they treat her like their own dogs, and always happy to offer useful advice when needed. If you are reading this review and considering using them, please do not hesitate. They really are the best! We travel to them from Skipton and wouldn't go anywhere else now. Thank you Happy Hounds 😊
Happy Hounds are absolutely fantastic & I wish my dog could leave a review 🥰 she is so well cared for, loves each & every member of Happy Hounds & has made so many dog friends. My dog started in day care as a puppy & then joined in on the walks, I was given so much advice for training, behaviour tips & tricks & Hayley accommodates day care & walks around my demanding rota so I know my dog is getting loads of love & attention whilst I'm away. Recommend this family run business who have so much passion & love for our pets.
We have been using Happy Hounds for walks, day care and boarding since our dog was a puppy and couldn’t be happier. Everyone involved understands dogs well and are great with our boy who can be nervous at first. We completely trust them with our dog’s welfare and he is always so excited to see the van pull up.
We have used Happy Hounds since she was a puppy and now wouldn't take her anywhere else. Shirley, Hayley and Nick are genuine animal lovers and treat our dog as if she were their own. She loves her walks with them and can't wait to see them. We can also leave her with them for the day and overnight knowing she is in the best care 😊
An exceptional service. Hayley and her team are incredible and super flexible with myself and my husbands working commitments. They have taken care of our cockapoo since she was a puppy and she is now 4 and a half years old- she loves her strolls out and playing with all the other pooches. It is lovely that they often share photos and videos of the things they get up to! We are so grateful that we have someone we can trust to take care of our pooch! I would give you guys more stars if I could 😊
What a fabulous family business, my 2 dogs love their time with Hayley and her team, they add variety, from agility in the field to walking on the moors. They also feel very “at home” when they have boarded and have a great time. But I think their biggest strength has to be the added personal touch, always willing to go the extra mile, which is very much appreciated. I would wholeheartedly recommend this very organised, well run professional business (and so would my 2 happy dogs)
Happy Hounds have looked after Cooper since he was a puppy. They have been so patient with him, as he was initially quite nervous. With lots of love and encouragement from them he now absolutely loves his groups walks and almost runs to get in the van!! This means I don’t have to worry about him while at work as I know he is in very good hands 😊
The Family at Happy Hounds have been walking our Border Collie Missy for nearly 3 years . since she was a pup. At first Missy was hesitant to do her business while out on walks so Shirley would stay for 5 mins or so in our garden after the walk to make sure she went !! Nothing at all is too much trouble , weather it’s last minute walks or swapping things around when Missy has been in season ( obviously to keep her away from complete males ) the team are always willing to go above and beyond for our dog. I highly recommend their services.
Hayley has been walking my dog for a couple of months now and she is fantastic. She is timely and cares greatly about all of the dogs she looks after. I never have any concerns and my dog loves her! Excellent value and well worth it. I often contact her at short notice and she always manages to add my dog to the walks, including on weekends and bank holidays! Couldn't be without her. Highly recommend!
Booked my dog in for day care but turns out day care means they get taken out in the van for most of the day to attend the 45 minute walks they also do with groups of dogs. As my dog is small this will have been far too much exercise. When I expressed my concerns Hayley the business owner was very understanding and lovely to deal with. However she wasn’t the person doing the day care for my dos, that was another family member. When I spoke to the person caring for my dog, they were rude, abrupt, accused me of being the issue, couldn’t see why I thought 3 x 45 minute walks might be too much for my dog, and said it wasn’t the place for me or my dog. Never had an exchange like it with any business. Upon first meeting, I got told this day care would be a home away from home but when I questioned all the walks they said they couldn’t leave day care dogs home alone for licence reasons which I totally understand, but as there are 4 of them my suggestion is alter the walk scheduled to ensure paying day care customers have one of you home with them. From 8am until 1.30pm my dog was in the home for 45 mins. He attended 2 long walks with other dogs and after I expressed my concerns, spent the rest of that time was in the back of a van. Can see this place gets rave reviews for walks, and for a walk I would recommend. Day care is NOT day care, it is dragging your dog along with their walks all day and for that reason I would say avoid!
What a find!! Struggled for ages to find a good groomer. My dog was in a real state & desperate for a good trim. Best haircut he's had!! Simple to book & pay.
Took my two dogs here for the first time. I don't know who was more nervous me or the dogs. Ella put us all at ease and did a fine job grooming them. I'm very pleased with the result, so much so that I've booked a return visit for a couple of months time.
Brought my puppy for her first groom today, she came back super happy and lovely and clean. Would highly recommend 🐾 …
Excellent service and very friendly, did fantastic job with Hand stripping of our wirehaired daschund.
We always get fantastic service here. Luna comes back looking very fine indeed. Highly recommended.
Ella is a fantastic groomer, we wouldn't take our young dog anywhere else.
Fabulous groomer! So friendly and gives great advice.
Excellent
Initially, we were looking for a reliable dog boarder for our border collie to stay with whilst we were on holiday. When we found Josie, we agreed that it would be best for her and Chief to create a relationship before his stay. Well, …
Our pup Lenny loves going to Josie for his day care. Josie has given us a professional & friendly service since the first time we spoke. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our boy. It's so lovely to see the love she gives to the dogs and Lenny loves his sneaky cuddles. Thank you Josie xx
We were nervous about leaving our 6 month old border collie with people we didn’t know, but Josie was so friendly and put us at ease instantly. We were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that our pup was being well looked after! She …
