Charney
Canine Activity Holidays
Charney
offers a fun filled activity holiday for your dog, so you
can be sure that whilst you are enjoying yourself on holiday,
your dog is too!
We
have a range of activities which can be tailored to your
dogs' individual needs and activity levels, to ensure they
get the most from their stay.
Our
activity holidays are suitable for fully vaccinated puppies
right up to the more mature adult dog, and we will plan
activities which we feel appropriate to each dog's age,
fitness levels and individual preferences.
Activity
holidays are particularly beneficial for very active breeds
who enjoy the additional activities, challenges and stimulation,
but are simply great fun for all, whether they are working
dogs or family pets.
Boarding
Our
purpose built boarding block offers superior, roomy, heated
suites which have individual covered runs, all kept immaculately
clean and dry for maximum comfort. We provide comfortable
Perla beds and Profleece bedding to keep your dog happy
and cosy.

Dogs
are fed twice daily (3 times for young puppies) on our 'in
house' premium dog food/puppy food or a food of your choice.
A specific low calorie prescription diet is provided for
weight loss boarders.
During
their stay we give all dogs regular maintenance grooming
which keeps coats in tip-top condition, helps us to bond
with your dog and give them some relaxing one-to-one attention.
Before
returning home all dogs will be given a thorough bath and
brush up.*
*Clipping,
trimming and handstripping is available at an additional
cost and must be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.
Training
We
offer daily training sessions for your dog to help with
maintaining general obedience, to encourage better manners
and teach basic skills to dogs who currently have little
or no training. This aspect can be tailored directly to
your personal needs as each dog is different. We also run
group training where dogs can begin training sessions with
the distraction of other classmates, teaching them to focus
on their handler and learn self control in new situations.
We
have a fully enclosed exercise paddock and an indoor training
hall where we can practice recalls and socialisation with
other dogs.
Training
for specific behaviour problems is available, and in some
cases a veterinary referral may be necessary to eliminate
obvious physical causes for a behaviour before assessment
and treatment can begin.
Agility
Our
large enclosed agility paddock boasts a range of equipment
including the ramp, hoop, see-saw, A-frame, jumps, tunnels,
weave poles and the dog walk! Your dog will love to explore
and use the equipment whilst being taught by one of our
staff. Its a great way to make exercise fun and incorporate
basic obedience as well.
Agility
sessions are light-hearted and fun, each dog practicing
whatever equipment they feel confident with. We gently increase
the challenge with each session to help your dog to gain
confidence with each section of the course.
*Agility
is suitable for dogs over 12 months old, providing they
are fit and healthy and not suffering from any physical
problems, which could be exacerbated by a moderately challenging
activity.
Puppy
Club
Puppies
are accepted up to 6 months old for 1 or 2 week courses.
We encourage good manners at all times and gently teach
your puppy the basic commands in between structured fun
play sessions, which take place throughout the day.
We
provide regular short individual training sessions each
day, which is more effective for youngsters that lengthy
sessions. Classes are also run for puppies to meet and greet
other youngsters and have a play together in the safety
of our large grass paddocks
We
introduce puppies to people and other friendly dogs, teaching
them how to integrate well and behave nicely in new situations.
Country
Walks
'In
The Lead' (www.inthelead.co.uk) run by Carly
and Andy Bridport, and based here at Charney Pet Care Centre,
offers long country walks for our activity holiday and weight
loss boarders.
We
have many miles of bridleways through woodland, fields and
streams directly behind the property so we never need to
even cross a road!
It
is the perfect place for your dog to let off steam, get
muddy, have a game of ball or frisbee, or simply take a
leisurely stroll in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside.
Weight
Loss Programmes
Many
dogs carry a little or a lot more weight than they perhaps
should do and getting them back into shape is not always
easy. We offer a weight reduction programme which is individually
monitored by Medivet in Faringdon.
Day
one starts with a weigh in, prescription diet and extra
exercise to aid in agradual weight loss. Hydrotherapy swimming
sessions are available on request and we recommend this
for all dogs in the weight loss programme as it is an excellent
form of non-weightbearing exercise, especially beneficial
for individuals suffering with arthritis or joint problems
which hinder regularexercise.
Hydrotherapy
We
offer canine Hydrotherapy with Emma Barnard at Vale
Hydrotherapy (www.valehydrotherapy.co.uk).
Emma is a fully qualified Veterinary Nurse and is also accredited
member of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association.
She
is based only a 5 minute drive from us. All dogs are transported
to and from hydro sessions by our staff, who stay with your
pet whilst they swim. All pets are rinsed and dried before
leaving the pool to come back to Charney.
