Welcome to Oh My Dog
What Do We Do?
Discover exceptional dog care services right here! We are dedicated to ensuring a completely positive experience for you and your dog of any age. Founded in 2019, we are licensed by South Hams District Council (#SHLAIA57) and fully insured, accredited with APDWS, and committed to their Gold Standard Code of Practice. Our team is trained in Emergency Canine First Aid and consistently updates our knowledge of modern, science-based, force and fear-free dog handling techniques. Juliet holds a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training from Dogenius and is currently enrolled in The Puppy Lab - The Ultimate Puppy Course with The School of Canine Science, along with an advanced canine first aid refresher course.
We are located in central Totnes in a spacious unit with tonnes of natural light and air. We help fulfil your dog's social, physical and emotional needs - for when you need to be elsewhere, to treat your dog to a break from their usual routine and equip dogs, young or old, with the skill set to excel in 'real life' situations and be socially robust.
Much more than just a daycare
What is a day at oh my dog like?
0700 - 0900 - Collection & Arrivals
Paws on the Bus: Kingsbridge dogs hop onto the school bus, each pup safely secured and sitting away from unfamiliar friends. It's like a school trip, but furrier!
Morning Hellos: Totnes dogs arrive straight to the unit, wagging tails ready to greet the day. A quick health and happiness check with their humans ensures everyone is set for fun.
0800 – 0930: Free Play & Mingling
Playground Time: The main play area comes alive with excited barks and wagging tails as dogs mingle, meet new pals, and show off their favourite toys.
Toys & Tug Wars: From fetch to tug-of-war, the play area is a paradise of fun. We watch closely to make sure everyone is playing nicely and learning to share – no bullies allowed!
0930 – 1400: Woodland Adventures
Group Walks: The adventure begins! Adult dogs head out in groups of five, carefully matched for maximum fun and minimum drama! They explore the ancient Staverton Woodland, sniff every tree, and splash in the river (with your OK).Tiny Trotters: Puppies and small breeds get their own special walks, discovering the Totnes to Dartington riverside path just minutes away. Tiny paws, big adventures!
1400 – 1500: Lunch & Snacks
Lunch Break: It’s chow time! Pups with packed lunches enjoy their meals individually in the school buses. Natural treats are handed out one by one – a tasty learning moment! Find It Fun: If the pack is up for it, we play 'find it', turning snack time into a nose-using, treasure-hunting game.
1700 – 1830: Collection & Drop Home
Homeward Bound: As owners arrive, dogs eagerly await their ride home. Kingsbridge-bound pups hop back on the bus, often catching a few more ZZZs on the way.
Daily Updates: Throughout the day, we snap photos and videos so you can see the fun in action. At pick-up, we share any little updates about your pup's day, keeping you in the loop.
A day at OMD is full of play, learning, adventure, and relaxation. From fun-filled walks and playful mingling to cosy naps and tasty treats, every moment is designed to keep tails wagging and spirits high. Your pup's day is packed with joy, learning, and plenty of furry friends!
1500 – 1700: Wind Down (and Clean-Up for Staff)
Chill Zone: Time to relax! Dogs can lounge in cozy beds, armchairs, couches, and bunk beds. It’s all about snoozing, cuddling, and doing absolutely nothing together.
Special Attention: For those needing extra love or training, this is when the magic happens. One-on-one time ensures every dog feels special.
