Our day to day activities
At 'New Dawn - Cornwall', we use a number of different activities to make sure that every dog's stay is happy, fun, and low-stress.
Whether it be introducing a treat puzzle or playing calming music; we will make the boarding and daycare experience enjoyable for each guest and always ensure there is plenty of cuddle time if they want it. We use a range of enrichment toys to keep your dog entertained. These range from snuffle mats and treat puzzles to keep dogs’ minds working as they eat. We provide one on one time for play with their favorite toys; which can be bought from home or supplied by us. Please let us know if your dog has a preference, as we have a wide range of toys available.
We will continue any training that is implemented at home such as sit, stay, lie down. Please let us know when you bring them if there are any tricks other than the basic commands you would like us to carry on training.
During each day of your dog's stay, they will be taken outside and walked either on their own, with our own dogs and / or other boarding dogs. The duration of our daily walk will depend on your dog's needs, your requirements and their physical fitness level. The licensing standards stipulate as a minimum, we must provide a minimum of two, 20 minute walks per day, but generally we are out walking our dogs for a minimum of 1 hour per day + travel time to our best destinations we can be sure your dog will enjoy.
If you consent for your dog to be walked off lead, then when safe to do so, your dog will be able to run lead free, in accordance with your signed off-lead consent.
Other times during the day, your dog will be able to access our garden whenever they want to or they can take themselves off to a quiet spot in our home if they would like some time on their own for a snooze.
We make sure dogs are not over stimulated and do ensure they take regular breaks from play and exercising.
If your dog cannot be exercised for veterinary reasons, but will benefit from play and stimulation, then we will use enrichment toys for the same period of time as above. If not advised, then we will groom, play or just be with your dog, giving one to one attention during this time.
