The Dogchester

The Dogchester is a behaviour-led luxury dog hotel, daycare and training provider in South Lanarkshire, near Glasgow. Founded by canine behaviour expert Nanci Creedon, the business combines specialist knowledge with thoughtful, individual care to help dogs feel safe, settled and fulfilled. Its secure facilities include private suites with solid walls, high-fenced exercise areas and monitored rooms, alongside quiet time, owner updates and carefully managed routines.

The hotel offers luxury stays, including VIP suites, as well as doggie daycare with enrichment, rest and structured activities. Dogs are assessed before joining the Social Club, and those who prefer their own space can enjoy individual experiences. Training services include dog day school, residential training, behaviour modification and dog-and-owner sessions. The Dogchester also offers a weight-loss camp featuring movement, enrichment and tailored fresh meals.

Activities may include nature walks, sensory play and enrichment feeding, selected around each dog’s needs. The team’s approach prioritises wellbeing over activity for its own sake, giving owners a range of considered options for holidays, daily care and training support.
