Today’s the day.

From 11am–3pm, the doors are open at Dereham Dog Den and Dereham Dog Academy for our Open Day — and we’d genuinely love to see you there.

Whether you’re curious about daycare, looking for training support, interested in scentwork, wondering about behaviour help, or simply want somewhere your dog can safely explore and have fun, today is a chance to come and see everything for yourself.

You’ll be able to: • explore the Den facilities
• try enrichment and confidence equipment
• meet the team
• chat about classes and services
• ask training questions
• find out about upcoming plans, including dog walking services
• and enjoy a BBQ while you’re here

No formal presentations. No hard sell. Just a relaxed day for dog people.
Dogs are welcome.

See you from 11am.

A lot of dogs don’t get many opportunities to properly explore anymore.
Real exploring. Not just marching from one pavement to the next.

They’re often either overstimulated, over-exercised, over-managed… or stuck on the end of a lead being told “leave it” every six seconds.

Sometimes confidence grows when dogs are simply given safe opportunities to investigate the world properly.

That’s one of the reasons we wanted our Open Day to be hands-on rather than just “come and look around”.

On Sundayday 31st May, you’ll be able to bring your dog and try parts of the Den for yourself: • the sniffing areas
• confidence equipment
• enrichment spaces
• indoor and outdoor areas

You can chat with the team, ask about daycare membership, private hire and our upcoming dog walking service… or just come for a wander and a burger.
No pressure. Just dogs, people and good conversations.

Some dogs come into daycare and immediately try to organise the entire room.
Some arrive slightly overwhelmed. Some are desperate to play. Some don’t really know how to switch off at all.
That’s normal.
One of the biggest misconceptions about daycare is that dogs simply “sort themselves out”.

But good daycare isn’t about throwing dogs together and hoping for the best. It’s about guidance. Structure. Intervention at the right moments. Knowing when to encourage interaction and when to slow things down.

A lot of calm dogs are not naturally calm dogs. They’re dogs who’ve been consistently shown how to be successful around other dogs.

That’s something we’ll be talking about during our Open Day on 31st May while people explore the Den, try the equipment and meet the team.

You’ll probably leave understanding dogs slightly differently than when you arrived.
