The Puppy Training Specialists

In-Home Holiday Dog Boarding and Board and Train

Premium care and/ or professional training, delivered in the comfort of your dog’s own home.

At Baywood, we believe your dog deserves more than just basic care while you’re away. They deserve familiar surroundings, gentle companionship, and thoughtful support that respects their individual routine and personality.

That’s why we offer two high-quality, in-home services:
• In-Home Holiday Boarding
• Holiday Board and Train

Both take place in your home, with myself and my partner staying overnight to ensure your dog is comfortable, settled, and well cared for. This also means your home is secure and responsibly maintained while you’re away.

To ensure a smooth experience, we ask that your dog is comfortable being left alone for up to four hours at a time, allowing me to attend to other training commitments during the day.

Whether your dog needs simple, structured care or a more focused training experience, Baywood offers a personalised, thoughtful alternative to traditional kennels or boarding homes.

Option 1: In-Home Holiday Boarding

Calm, consistent care with enrichment and gentle reinforcement
£50 per night

Ideal for dogs who don’t require formal training but benefit from a stable, familiar routine. We follow your dog’s schedule closely, provide loving companionship, and gently reinforce your house rules and any training already in place.

Daily enrichment activities include scent games, food puzzles, calming walks, and other mentally stimulating, enjoyable tasks tailored to your dog.

Services include:
• Care entirely in your home
• Your dog’s routine upheld (meals, walks, sleep)
• Reinforcement of house rules and basic manners
• Daily enrichment to keep your dog stimulated and happy
• Familiar environment to reduce stress and support emotional wellbeing
• Regular photo and video updates
• Two trusted adults staying overnight

This is a great fit for dogs who are well-adjusted in the home, enjoy company, and benefit from consistency and gentle structure without formal training sessions.

Option 2: Holiday Board and Train

Professional training alongside care and enrichment
£999 for 7 nights | £1,598 for 14 nights

Designed for dogs who benefit from ongoing training while you’re away. Whether your dog needs basic life skills, confidence building, or help with behaviour challenges, this immersive experience offers focused support in the comfort of home.

Each day includes a minimum of 1.5 hours of personalised one-to-one training sessions, but training goes far beyond these set times. As a trainer, I integrate positive reinforcement and learning opportunities into every part of your dog’s day — from walks and playtime to rest periods — raising and guiding your dog as if they were my own. This holistic approach helps make training natural, consistent, and more effective.

Daily enrichment activities are also included to build confidence, reduce stress, and create enjoyable learning moments.

Services include:
• Daily 1.5+ hours of structured training sessions
• Positive reinforcement integrated throughout all daily activities
• Personalised training plan based on your goals
• Enrichment tailored to your dog’s needs
• Consistent daily structure with continuous training and calm companionship
• Progress updates with photos and videos
• One-hour handover session upon your return
• Two trusted adults staying overnight

A note on lasting success: Training is never a one-time fix. While I’ll lay a strong foundation and provide structure during your dog’s stay, long-term success depends on your commitment to maintaining the rules, routines, and guidance we put in place. I’ll provide all tools and support during handover, but consistency at home is key.

Why In-Home Care?

In-home care lets your dog stay in the environment they know and love, reducing stress and supporting emotional wellbeing. Unlike kennels or boarding homes, there’s no noise, no unfamiliar dogs, and no disruption to routine. Your dog can relax in their own bed, enjoy normal meals and walks, and be cared for by consistent, trusted people.

By offering care in your home, we preserve the structure your dog thrives on and help you feel secure about their care and your home’s safety while you’re away.

Before Booking

To ensure the best experience, we ask that:
• Your dog is comfortable being left alone for up to four hours
• You commit to ongoing training for long term success

A Note on Training Expectations and Long-Term Success

At Baywood, we’re fully committed to your dog’s ongoing growth and long-term success. It’s important to understand that having a trainer stay with your dog while you’re on holiday is not a quick fix or magic solution. Training is a continuous process that requires a strong partnership between us and you, the owner.

To ensure the best possible outcome, we have an exclusive application process that helps us understand your dog’s unique needs, behaviours, and training goals. This allows us to create a personalised plan based on trust, commitment, and open communication.

Our goal is to provide your dog with an enriching, supportive experience that lays the groundwork for a happier, more confident companion. While we bring expertise, care, and positive reinforcement techniques to your dog’s stay, real, lasting progress depends on your dedication to maintaining the training, routines, and boundaries once your dog returns home.

We take great pride in working with owners who share our commitment to consistent, kind, and effective training. By choosing Baywood, you’re investing not just in a temporary stay, but in your dog’s future—and becoming part of a community focused on excellence in canine care.

To be considered for our in-home services, we ask that owners demonstrate their commitment to ongoing training success. Together, we can embark on a meaningful journey of growth and positive change for your dog.

Professional Expertise and Guidance — The Joy of Positive Training

Our trainers focus on what your dog does right, creating a fun, engaging learning experience that builds trust and lasting progress. Training is a joyful adventure that strengthens your bond and helps your dog grow confident.

Continuous Training Experience — Learning Throughout the Stay

Training never takes a break with Baywood. Our immersive approach provides consistent support, including at least 1.5 hours of focused training daily. Positive reinforcement is integrated throughout, ensuring your dog builds valuable skills in a familiar setting.

Regular photo and video updates keep you connected and reassured.

Tailored Routine and Training Plan — Consistency is Key

Maintaining your dog’s routine is essential. We collaborate with you to keep feeding, exercise, grooming, and training schedules consistent. Our custom plans focus on your dog’s goals and challenges, making it easier for you to continue progress at home.

Home Comforts and Familiar Surroundings — Less Stress, More Learning

New environments cause stress and anxiety, which hinders learning. Our in-home care keeps your dog surrounded by familiar toys, beds, and scents, creating a secure space that supports emotional wellbeing and training success.

Personalised Care and Companionship — Building Trust and Security

Unlike crowded kennels or impersonal boarding, we provide one-on-one care and attention. This reduces stress and fosters a close bond, so your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Peace of Mind and Home Security — Trusted Care in Your Home

We treat your home with respect and care, providing a responsible presence so you can relax. This offers security and comfort for both your dog and your home.

Seamless Transitions — Setting You and Your Dog Up for Success

We offer a thorough handover session to share the training methods and strategies used during the stay, helping you maintain consistency and continue your dog’s progress at home.

Commitment to Long-Term Success

Training is an ongoing journey. While we do the hard work during your dog’s stay, long-term success depends on your commitment to continuing the training plan and reinforcing rules at home. We require owners to commit to this process to ensure the best outcomes.
