Hairy Hounds in Hackney - Training Daycare Centre

About

This Homerton-based facility operates as a comprehensive canine care center that combines daycare services with professional training programs. Founded by Edita Sykora, who brings over three decades of dog training experience to the operation, the center focuses on creating a structured environment where dogs can socialize while learning appropriate behaviors. The facility features both indoor and outdoor spaces designed to provide dogs with exercise opportunities and comfortable rest areas throughout the day. The business offers multiple services including full-day daycare with integrated training, one-on-one behavioral modification sessions, group obedience classes, and grooming services exclusively for daycare clients. Their approach emphasizes positive reinforcement techniques and maintains specific policies regarding noise levels and play behavior to ensure a calm atmosphere. Staff members work full-time and receive training to reinforce good behaviors while monitoring each dog's development and integration with the existing group. What sets this facility apart is their selective admission process and focus on preventing common behavioral issues such as reactivity and separation anxiety, particularly in younger dogs. They also offer specialized programs for dogs with challenging behaviors and maintain partnerships with local dog walking services that continue the training approach during walks.
