In this episode, I sit down with one of the most progressive and inspiring leaders in the doggy daycare space, the owner of an incredible farm-style dog care facility that is truly changing what is possible in our industry.

We talk about what it really means to run a high-standard daycare, not just in terms of space and facilities, but in training, staff education, dog selection, safety protocols, and ethical decision making.

This is the kind of operation that does not chase volume. It prioritises wellbeing, structure, enrichment, and the long-term mental health of the dogs in its care.

We discuss why the old model of “pack them in and hope for the best” is failing dogs, staff, and business owners alike, and how forward-thinking facilities are proving that you can be profitable without compromising welfare.

This conversation is for pet parents who want to understand what truly good daycare looks like, and for industry professionals who want to raise their own standards and build something they can be proud of.

In this episode we cover:

• What makes a truly high-standard doggy daycare

• Why space, structure, and dog selection matter

• How a farm environment changes dog behaviour and stress levels

• The reality of running a welfare-first dog business

• Why the industry needs to move away from overcrowding and chaos

• What pet parents should be looking for when choosing daycare

• What the future of professional dog care should look like

This episode is part of my mission to push our industry forward, protect dogs, and support the professionals who are doing things properly.

If you are a pet business owner who wants to build something that is both profitable and ethical, or a pet parent who wants to understand what quality care really looks like, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

Listen now and join the movement to raise the bar in pet care.
