A safe environment where puppies can socialise, play, rest, and begin basic training alongside others in their age group
In London, such services are often offered by pet-care Puppy day care London companies, countryside daycare centres, trainer-led groups, or boutique “puppy crèche” setups that cater exclusively to this vulnerable early stage of a dog’s life.
Unlike regular doggy daycare (where adult dogs may be mixed in), puppy-specific daycare ensures younger pups are grouped by size, temperament, and developmental stage so that play is gentle and positive
Some facilities—like Capital Dog Care in North London—offer prices from around £30 per day for puppy‐only groups, while more upscale centres may charge significantly more (e.g. £45–58/day or membership models) depending on amenities.
Why Puppy Daycare: Key Benefits
Socialisation & Learning
Puppies attending daycare get crucial exposure to other dogs and people—helping them learn polite play, bite inhibition, canine communication cues, and self‑control—most especially between 8 and 12 weeks, an optimum developmental window
Mental Stimulation
Beyond play, many daycare programmes include structured enrichment—such as scent‑puzzles, agility toys, obedience games, and sensory activities—that tire puppies both physically and mentally
Behavioral and Temperament Benefits
Owners often report that puppies return calmer, more responsive to training, and better settled—helping reduce destructiveness or nipping at home. Regular daycare can support potty‑training schedules and more mature behavior patterns
