Welcome To
Mansfield Canine Centre
Mansfield's premier facility dedicated exclusively to your dog's enjoyment and care. As a family-oriented team with extensive experience in dog agility training, obedience training, and dog boarding, we are passionate dog lovers committed to providing the best possible care for your canine companions.
Our Facilities
Big Paws Room
Our main daycare area, affectionately known as "Big Paws," is divided into two separate sections, each equipped with engaging play equipment such as ball pools, comfortable beds, rest areas, dog-safe swings, and other cozy furnishings. Both sections have direct access to outdoor spaces where dogs can enjoy fresh air, paddling pools, sand pits, and ample room for toileting, ensuring they maintain their regular routines.
Groom Room
Formerly called "Small Paws," the Groom Room houses our grooming facilities, offering a range of services to keep your dog looking and feeling their best.
Enrichment Room
Our jungle-themed Enrichment Room is designed to provide mental stimulation and fun activities, including foraging ball pools, interactive treat games, raised platforms, and hidden treat spots, all set within an immersive jungle environment.
Additional amenities include a dedicated feeding area for lunchtime, an isolation room for any dogs that may feel unwell during their stay, and a secure reception area. We have taken extensive measures to ensure the security of our centre, including comprehensive CCTV coverage both indoors and outdoors, a locked reception door with an intercom system, and protocols to positively identify visitors collecting dogs.
Our Commitment
We are proud to have achieved the maximum 5-star rating from the DEFRA licensing authorities of Mansfield District Council for daycare services. This accolade reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence in all areas, ensuring that you and your dog receive the highest quality service.
At Mansfield Canine Centre, our team is dedicated to ongoing training and professional development to ensure we provide the highest level of care for every dog in our facility. Our staff regularly complete industry-relevant training, focusing on canine behaviour, enrichment techniques, and welfare standards. We use positive reinforcement methods to create a safe, fun, and stress-free environment, encouraging confidence and good social behaviours in all dogs. Additionally, every staff member is canine first-aid trained, ensuring we are fully prepared to handle any situation with calm, professional care. By continuously expanding our knowledge and skills, we strive to give each dog the best experience possible during their time with us.
