Our Ethos

At the Paw & Whistle, every dog is special. We believe that with the right love, care and patience, as well as time, space, and guidance, our dogs can learn how to live a happy, healthy and well-mannered life.

We commit to developing each character that comes through our doors. Through careful assessment and dedicated one-on-one training each time a member visits, we provide the environment and the tools our members need to evolve and thrive.

Can owning a dog be hard work? Yes. Will it take time to reach best-friend status? Of course. Does it sometimes feel like you’re chasing your own tail. Absolutely. But, is it worth it? Every. Single. Time.

Membership

We’re more than just a daycare centre. We’re building a community of like-minded people, led by industry experts, who take a holistic and preventative approach to our members’ welfare.
— Gaby Swan, Founder

Each member has access to the following services:

Our Space

A state-of-the-art, purpose-built, two-story club in the heart of Reigate, with a private and secure field just under 6 minutes away.

At just under 3000 sq ft, we’ve created a structured space to engage, enrich, calm and excite. With the help of a team of experts, every surface in every zone is carefully curated for welfare, endurance, health, and the happiest experience all-round.

 

The Field

The Club

 

Becoming a member starts with a full assessment, so we can learn a little more about you and your dog. Once you’re in, you can choose which package works best for you. Each membership includes one-on-one training every day your dog visits, oodles of outdoor run-around time, structured soft-play sessions, and dedicated rest time in our peaceful sleep zone.

There are never more than 25 dogs per day at The Paw & Whistle, accompanied by a minimum of five highly experienced handlers who know dogs top to tail. 

How Do I Become A Member?

  • Complete the application form using one of the links to “Become a member”. A coach from the team will be in touch within 24 hours.

  • We’ll invite you and your dog to see the space and meet some of the team, so we can both make sure it’s a good fit.

    In the same meeting, we’ll complete our full assessment and explain the unique training framework we use with our members. By ascertaining their current capabilities, we can agree on areas of priority and create a bespoke training plan to help achieve your goals.

  • We have a number of daycare options, from a single half-day to five full days a week, as well as home collection or drop off and pick up. Together we can create a solution that fits your lifestyle and other commitments.

  • Following these steps you will then receive an official invitation to become a member of The Paw & Whistle!

    We’ll agree a start date and help you set up a profile on our app. Our platform provides members with useful tools and insights to track progress, book or amend daycare services and store important information about your dog (like allergies, medication, or dislikes) - all in one place.
