- A large outdoor area for supervised outdoor play time, with secure fencing and plenty of space for zoomies, fetch or chillin’ in the sun.
- Solid epoxy flooring in all indoor play areas – 100% waterproof, hygienic & non-slip – we put your hounds’ safety first.

WHY HOUNDS OF THE HOOD?
Most dogs are social and enjoy the company of other fellow hounds. While at daycare, they will receive mental stimulation, exercise, and engagement.
You can be confident that your dog is being well taken care of and is happy until you pick them up. We organise structured activities for the playgroups and also have a dedicated area for senior, shy and low energy dogs.
All staff are experienced with dogs in positive reinforcement training techniques, canine body language, ways to de-escalate conflict between dogs and canine First Aid.
“Such a professional & amazing experience. We recently adopted a 7 month old pup that needed some help socialising & the team at HOTH took her right under their wing & put in the extra mile to make sure she was looked after.”
