These wonderful people were suggested to me by a behaviourist and several other walkers who felt my dog louie needed extra expertise. Louie is a former street dog from Romania with a sad background of abuse. he doesnt accept strangers lightly. I needed someone to walk him on a day he would be ar home alone but tlaccepting a new person I felt would be impossible. He had over recent months accepted another lovely Walker who then introduced Sophie to louie , the walkers worked together amazingly with concern and support on Louie, no competition what so ever. long story short ....sophie has been accepted and walks for Sophie ! These guys really care about dogs , especially rescue dogs, they have an outstanding ability to adapt and work slowly and progress . highly recommended Thabk you ❤ More...

What can I say! I’ve never left my dogs with anyone other than family, but this is the most comfortable I’ve ever felt leaving my babies! Viv treated them like they were her own, and sent me the most beautiful pictures throughout to reassure me they were OK! Feel so lucky to have found Shropshire Canine Enrichment, feel like I can book trips away now without having to worry about the dogs! Amazing 🥰 More...

I think all the reviews on here speak volumes - I booked Cheryl to take a rescue dog out on a doggy day trip - it is clear that the dogs love her and she loves them and genuinely wants to help them find their forever home - I love the fact she does these trips, a fabulous caring business where dogs really do come first 🐾

If only Dogs could talk! If only Dogs could put their own words to the absolutely amazing photos showing what a fantastic time they are having on their Enrichment Walks with Cheryl and her team. They say “pictures do not lie” and that’s why I booked Cheryl for three Doggie Day Trips for any rescue dogs she felt would benefit. This young lady and her team have a true empathy and connection with our canine friends, going above and beyond to give them best possible experiences whilst making sure they remain in their comfort zones, safe and secure. I look forward to watching the continued success and growth of this great little company. More...

I contacted Shropshire Canine Enrichment when I suffered a shoulder injury and was unable to walk my dog. They arranged for Sophie to start the following day, she was excellent with Benji and he loved going for his adventures with her and always came back happy, contented and tired. Sophie was knowledgeable about his breed, without input from me and made sure he didn’t get overheated or over exerted himself. I felt so comfortable and confident to hand him over and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I will be using again whenever the need arises 5* More...

I only recently became aware of the doggy day trips that Cheryl undertakes. What better way of supporting these beautiful dogs that need homes or are in long term kennels, than to give them the gift of a fabulous day out with Cheryl. A day of freedom, walks, fun and ultimately the possibility of finding themselves their forever home! Cheryl takes wonderful photographs of the doggies enjoying themselves and is able then to support the dog rescues/kennels by sharing the photos with those looking to give loving homes. I’ll be a regular supporter of these great doggie day trips, as feel that am helping in just a small way to give these fabulous animals a chance of what they deserve in finding a home. Thank you Cheryl More...

Thierry had his first doggy day trip with Cheryl on Wednesday. The pictures we saw after spoke a thousand words on just how much Thierry enjoyed his time and how well he was looked after! He was so tired after but sat by the door for a good hour, I believe he was awaiting Cheryl’s return. I have booked him in again for another trip and can’t wait for him to go. Thank you so much for such a wonderful service and a great experience for our boy ❤️ More...

I gifted a doggy day out experience for a rescue dog. Koda. From hilbrea was chosen. They gave koda a fabulous day out. And at the end gave a very informative review of koda and what sort of home would be best. This info is invaluable for potential new owners. Shropshire Canine. In my opinion are one of the best canine Enrichment dog companies in Shropshire. And priced very reasonable as well.. Great staff also.. Highly recommended More...

I honestly cannot recommend Shropshire Canine Enrichment enough. From Bohdis first meeting with Sophie he was obsessed with her, his little bum goes wiggly mad when she comes through the door. Sophie has him for an hour while I'm at work and it really puts my mind at ease knowing she is continuing our training and getting my puppy used to the big world. Hes always happy and exhausted when he returns. My mind is at ease knowing Cheryl's business is fully insured and the 4 of them are all continually improving themselves with courses and qualifications even though they ALL have vast experience working with Rescue dogs and at Hilbrae (I know they worked at Hilbrae as I used to see them there when I went dog walking) It's nice knowing while I'm working my puppy is out having the best time with his best buddie Sophie (I even get photos) More...

Having known Cheryl for several years, I recently approached her with a view to working with Shropshire Canine Enrichment and our Ruff Start Rescue CIC ™ dogs in UK kennels locally to her. This was the best thing I could ever have done for our dogs. The knowledge, love, care and obvious affinity that Cheryl has for rescue dogs, and all dogs, shines through, she is professional and courteous. Cheryl is also a very talented photographer, and without doubt this has been key to our successful collaboration. Every dog that has been taken out on a rescue doggy day trip with Shropshire Canine Enrichment, has been adopted within a week of the pictures taken. The wonderful assessment we get, and the honest opinion about what sort of home would suit our dogs has made a world of difference to them being successfully rehomed. The dogs we have in UK Kennels are most often dogs that have already been handed back and given up on once, but Cheryl and her team treat them like they are the most important dog in the world, not a dog that nobody wanted. I cannot recommend the team highly enough, and Ruff Start Rescue CIC ™ are looking forward to a long and successful collaboration with them - as a rescue we feel like all our dogs are our own, and can be very protective of them - but honestly we would not trust anyone else to take them out except Shropshire Canine Enrichment.

Cheryl and the team are the best EVER! I have a dog who doesn’t trust Humans but he has made a huge bond with Paul. 💕 Hugo my Dog went to a day care/hotel before but ended shaking in fear but now he barks with excitement to the point that the whole street know when he is going for a walk.

Super, super happy with the day trip donated for Ben, my rescue boy. Lots of updates and the boy looks like he had the most fantastic day! However, you know these people have looked after and bonded with a dog superbly when they get up to leave, and Ben cries for them to come back! I'm really happy with the service, I wouldn't think twice about using these guys again and I suggest if you like your dog, let them have a day out with these guys! Ben hasn't moved all evening!! Thank you loads ladies, massively appreciated from not Ben and myself ❤️ More...

I have a very challenging German Shepherd who dislikes other animals and needs a slow introduction when meeting new people. He is dominant and is always muzzled on walks. On day 1 meeting Cheryl after 1 hour she was able to play with Krug without his muzzle - something I didn’t think was possible! Cheryl is the ultimate dog whisperer and I wouldn’t have anyone else look after my dog. Cheryl you are amazing and you have made a friend for life with Krug 💕 100% recommend Cheryl and her team - 5 ⭐️ service as always! Xx More...

My Boys are newbies and I can honestly say they are loving their weekly walks. One is a little nervous around people he doesn't know and the other a bit of a thug. I was so nervous when Cheryl and Vivienne came to meet them for the first time but after a few minutes The Boys settled. I cried when they came back from their first walk as they came trotting down the road looking very happy. Lockdown has been difficult and I felt The Boys weren't getting the exercise they needed. Cheryl and Vivienne have also given me the confidence to start walking them again myself. i also love the photos showing them having fun. In the New Year I think a day trip for The Boys XX More...

Ive worked with Cheryl when she was at Hilbrae kennels and always admired her with dogs. The way she is with them, her passion and the love she has for them. She’s an inspiration. I adopted Sam when I first started and then took on Freddie. She has taken both my boys out for the birthdays and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs than Cheryl and her wonderful mum. my dogs love seeing Cheryl and they always come back so happy. It’s the little things Cheryl does on her trips which make you feel happy as an owner. I would 100% recommend Cheryl to anyone she is absolutely amazing. Yesterday she took my mums two Leo’s out. Zack is sometimes very nervy of new people but it was almost like they had always known her. I’ve never seen mya and Zack so happy when they came back all over Cheryl and her mum it was so so wonderful too see that she had made a bond with them so quickly. The passion Cheryl has for her job is truly inspiring she deserve more recognition than she gets! More...

Cheryl and her team Paul and Viv have been looking after my three dogs for 4 weeks now and I couldn't be more pleased. Paul and Viv do a "Pop in" service calling on my dogs every lunch time giving them their food and letting them into the garden for a bit of exercise and lots of love and cuddles. I can't believe the difference in my one dog who was a real stress head he had totally calmed down and looks forward to seeing either Paul or Viv. Cheryl has sent me photos of my fur babies seeing them so relaxed and enjoying their visits melts my heart. Knowing my dogs are in safe hands whilst we are out at work is such a relief not just for the dogs but for us as well. I would totally recommend Shropshire Canine Enrichment why I didn't do this earlier I don't know. More...

Q&As

Building trusting and meaningful relationships with all the animals we are lucky enough to work with.

I always knew I wanted to work with animals. The years I spent working in Rescue centres ignited my passion.

Because we genuinely live and breathe dogs. We are committed, trustworthy and experienced with all of the correct procedures in place.

Services

Duration can be altered to suit your needs. Individual dog walks ensures your dog gets the attention and enrichment they deserve.

Perfect for when you're out for the day for longer than you feel comfortable leaving your pet. We can visit your pets, let them out to toilet & feed if needed.

We are the home of the Original Doggy Day Trip!
This unique service has been highly popular and needs to be booked in advance.
These trips are designed with your individual dog in mind, taking into account; fitness, drives and temperament. Filled with enrichment activities and games, our aim is to let your dog play out his natural desires in a safe and beautiful location, leaving your dog feeling fulfilled and tired out. I take plenty of photo's for you to enjoy, which are now available for you to order on canvas if you wish.

This service is highly popular and is arranged on a waiting list system. Our Doggy Day Trips can be purchased and gifted to a dog of your choice which is currently in local rescue kennels.
We have and continue to work with Moorlands Rescue Kennels, Hilbrae Rescue Kennels, Grinshill Rescue kennels, Rottweiler Welface association, Hatton Rescue Kennels and Ruff Start Rescue.
Every dog gets a profile & write-up on their day and plenty of photo's, aiming to show the public their true nature instead of seeing them behind bars, hopefully attracting a potential forever home.
Most of these trips are bought by the public simply to treat the dog of their choice, whether they have behavioural issues and don't get to go for walks much, or if they are a long-termer, to improve their lives if they are unlikely to find a home any time soon.

This is an extended version of our Doggy Day Trips. (6h but can be adjusted to suit needs) These need to be booked in advance to ensure availability
Excursions have involved beach days and longer hikes. As with all our services, they are designed with the individual dog in mind, and will include plenty of mental enrichment for the less active.

We can look after your pets in their most comfortable environment: their home! Please get in touch for more info.
