About Us

Welcome to 4 Paws Dog Day Care

 

4 Paws Dog Day Care is run by myself, Robert Hambridge, assisted by my wife Pauline. We have three rescue dogs of our own with which we train and compete in fun dog shows and competitive obedience.

We are very involved with various aspects of dog rescue. We are fundraisers and home checkers for GSD rescue and Hollyhedge animal sanctuary.

My wife and I own and run 4 Paws Dog Training Club, based in Knowle, Bristol which specialises in Kennel Club Good citizen training. I am working towards the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors Scheme (KCAI Scheme). Being part of the KCAI Scheme means that we have undertaken training to promote and use suitable and motivational methods consistent with principles of kindness, fairness and good welfare of dogs. I also have a qualification in First Aid for Dogs, I am a KC qualified Judge for competitive obedience and I am also a qualified Good Citizen Dog Scheme Examiner at Bronze level.

We like to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible during their stay so ask you to bring their regular food with them, if staying for a holiday. If coming just for the day, simply drop off on your way to work and pick up on your way home.

While with us your dog will enjoy the company of any other dogs who may be staying, a comfortable home environment, pampering and playtime, and most important of all lots of cuddles and attention.

For the less active elderly dogs we will tailor their exercise to your requests and some may prefer a more leisurely stay just enjoying a stroll around our secure paddock.

“We had a great time using the secure paddock. Nellie is working on her recall so the paddock was great for playing and training- Bob was even kind enough to give us some tips, one-to-one whilst we were there. The facilities are fantastic and we will definitely be returning.”
– Nellie’s Owner, Luke 
“We’ve used the day care service several times, Willow absolutely loves it! She really is treated like one of the family and has can go everywhere the owner’s dogs can go- not a kennel in sight! We will definitely use their home boarding when we are on holiday. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”
