Welcome to Oakwell, where we treat every dog like family. Whether you’re raising a hunting gundog or need a safe place for your family pet, our team has the know‑how to keep them happy and healthy.
Our gundog training combines proven field techniques with gentle, positive methods. We start with basic obedience, then add retrieving, pointing and safe off‑lead work. Each session is tailored to your dog’s breed, age and skill level, so you see progress fast.
From a quick bath to a full groom, our groomers use animal‑friendly products and keep stress low. Need a weekend stay? Our boarding facilities offer cosy crates, daily walks and plenty of playtime, all supervised by qualified staff.
We also give advice on diet and supplements, helping you choose the right food, vitamins or omega‑3 oils for your dog’s specific needs.
Located in Yorkshire, we serve owners across the UK with fast, reliable service.
