What is the daily schedule like for dogs at The London Hounds daycare?
1
Dogs attending daycare enjoy a structured, supervised day designed to balance exercise, socialisation, and rest. Each day includes guided walks, calm group play, enrichment activities, and scheduled downtime to prevent overstimulation.
Our routine focuses on maintaining consistent structure and positive behaviour, helping dogs feel secure, relaxed, and mentally fulfilled throughout the day. By combining supervised activity with proper rest periods, dogs return home calm, exercised, and content.

How many dogs are in each walking group?
Are walks held in open green spaces like Hampstead Heath?
Yes. We provide home-style dog boarding in London designed as a comfortable alternative to traditional kennels.
Boarding dogs follow the same structured routine as our regular walking and daycare clients, including daily walks, enrichment, rest, and consistent handling from the same trusted team. This familiar structure helps dogs settle quickly and feel secure while you’re away.
