Back Paddock Lodge

Back Paddock Lodge A "just like home" daycare & holiday retreat for small dogs in small numbers with professional care. Cosy accommodation in a rural home. Less Chaos. More Care.

Qualified & experienced trainer supervision. Small groups & individual attention. Happier Dogs! Hi, I'm Tracey, I am an accredited dog trainer with an advanced Diploma in canine behaviour. In other words,....
I'm all about the dog. Drawing on my studies and experience as a service dog trainer, I wanted to create a place where dogs could gather, socialise and learn in a safe, stress-free environmen

t. A place where my ability to read and communicate with dogs would be of great value. A place where dogs knew they could trust me to keep them safe, understand their needs, keep things structured, keep things fun by challenging their minds as well as providing the space for them to let off some steam. The Back Paddock has dedicated daycare for small to medium breeds ensuring that your dog's new friends are suitably matched in both size and personality providing the best daycare experience possible. Your dog will come home relaxed and happy, and you will have the peace of mind in knowing that they have been well looked after in my care.

🎬 **Back Paddock Best Bits** 🎬

Another week of wagging tails, big personalities and plenty of good times at Back Paddock Lodge!

Here are a few of our favourite moments from the week — the beach strolls, the cuddles, the mischief, the friendships and, of course, the very important business of napping. 💤

Every guest has their own little story to tell, and we love capturing the moments that make us smile. ❤️

So grab a cuppa and enjoy a little peek at **The Best Bits**

📣 ** Harry has left the building ** 🐾💚

Well… the day has finally come. Harry has been reunited with his family.❤️

We’re absolutely delighted for him, of course — but we’re also going to miss this little character more than we care to admit!

Harry has kept us entertained with his questionable life choices, dramatic protests, impressive climbing abilities, bed-making assistance, ball-related emergencies and his ongoing determination to investigate anything labelled **“OUT OF BOUNDS.”** 😂

He has certainly kept us on our toes… and somehow managed to make us laugh every single day.

The Lodge is going to feel just a little quieter without his antics, and we’ll definitely miss that cheeky face appearing where it absolutely shouldn’t be.🙄

Most importantly, it has been such a pleasure having Harry stay with us. He has been a very special part of the Back Paddock Lodge crew, and we’re so grateful to have had the privilege of looking after him. 🥰

Go home and enjoy being thoroughly spoiled, Harry. You’ve earned it!

We’ll miss you, Hair Bear 😘

🏉 **GAME DAY AT BACK PADDOCK LODGE!** 🏉

I had the All Blacks game on the TV…
…but apparently Harry and Lucy had decided that THEIR game was the main event. 😂

And after watching both matches, I have to say… the Harry & Lucy game definitely had the better defence — although there were considerably more head-high tackles, handling errors and very little in the way of game strategy...😂

There was a particularly dramatic moment when Harry was kicked into touch… and promptly fell off the bed!
🐶💨🤣

**Go the ABs!!** 🏉🇳🇿💪
