The idea for Barkley Manor was born when Krista our founder's dog Dudley, made it quite clear that other dogs were way more interesting than her. Doggy daycare didn’t exist here at the time, so with a mix of excitement, and crossed fingers, we launched into our first facility in 2007 and proudly committed to a ‘cage-free, off-leash School for Dogs’ with two rubberised floor play spaces - yep for Big and Small! This simple little venture was destined to grow, and a chance lease of an adjourning building gave us the space to make Tiny Tots, a Puppy Room, and our grooming facility come to life. The rest is history...
