Positioned on the outskirts of the village, Ingrid’s cottage has a garden gate which leads directly onto the fell and open moorland with miles of walks amidst wonderful scenery which Ingrid and her guest dogs are privileged to be able to use.

Specialising in all aspects of dog training including anti-livestock chasing, Ingrid who has over 20 years experience, offers training for you and your dog which teaches skills and techniques of correct dog handling to ensure that you have a totally secure, happy, well behaved, and trustworthy dog for the rest of its life.

Ingrid is also known fo her unique and exclusive boarding kennels where dogs can stay on the ‘active holidays’ she offers, or whilst on a ‘residential training’ course. When your dog stays with Ingrid they will enjoy a well-structured daily routine and will spend more time out of their kennel than in it. With hours of extensive exercise off a lead with several other guest dogs, out on the fells and in the local countryside, your will dog make lots of new friends and have a fabulous time.


As there are only four exclusive boarding kennels, through choice, Ingrid and her staff are able to give your dog the time, attention and love that it needs whilst away from home ensuring that they are happy and contented throughout their visit.
