The hardest bit is walking in. After that, there’s a dog. 🐾

For the first time, we’re opening up our trainee programme to the public.
It’s a 9-month supported work placement inside our real, working dog daycare in Peckham, for people rebuilding their lives after mental ill health or substance use. Trainees join the team on the rota, with 1:1 support every fortnight and weekly workshops on work and wellbeing
87% of our 2025 trainees went on to work, training or volunteering, and 40% of our own team started out as trainees.
Our funded places have a long waiting list, so we’ve opened self-funded places too. Same programme, same team, start sooner.

We’re opening our doors!!

If you’ve been standing outside the door for a while, this one’s for you.
Maybe it’s been a hard few years. Maybe nothing has quite stuck, and you’ve stopped expecting it to. We know that feeling

Our trainee programme is now open to the public. The funded places have a long waiting list, and we hated the idea of people waiting, so we’ve opened self-funded places too.

Same programme. Same team. A sooner start.

It’s a real job on our rota, two shifts a week, with dogs who couldn’t care less about your CV and people who get it. Coaching every fortnight and weekly workshops. . Six to nine months, in Peckham and Brixton.

It isn’t easy, and we can’t promise where it leads. But 87% of our 2025 trainees went on to work, training or volunteering. Every one of them started by walking in.

If that’s you, or someone you love, come in anyway.

Tiny paws, big naps. 🐾

Puppy Fridays is our milestone-based programme for puppies aged 12 weeks to 1 year, led by our in-house trainer, Lils, at our Peckham site.

Every puppy gets an individual training plan built around their needs and your goals, then works on it every Friday: confidence building, settling calmly, recall, lead manners, bite inhibition and positive socialisation. 🐶💗

Puppies are brilliant but they tire fast, so we keep it gentle. Small groups matched by size, age and temperament. A rest after every play session. 💤

You won’t be left guessing either. Expect a personalised report card, monthly calls with Lils, and access to our private Instagram, updated through the day.

Book a no-strings trial day! Link in bio 😊

Nearly a million young people in the UK aren't in work, education or training. Six in ten have never had a job.

Alan Milburn's new review says young people now get screened by a portal or an algorithm "before anyone has looked them in the eye." That one stuck with us, because looking people in the eye is pretty much what we do here, every single shift.

Grace has written up our response: what the review gets right, what we see every day, and what we'd love the final report to say. Link in bio 🐾

Conkers and acorns are poisonous to dogs. As we move more into Autumn, conkers and acorns are all over the ground.

If you suspect that your dog has eaten or chewed a conker or acorn, please speak to your vet immediately.
