Welcome to Anvilstone Dog Training

Not just dog training. We train people too.

Dog Boarding in North Devon

A Safe, Structured Countryside Retreat for Your Dog

If your dog doesn’t need training but does deserve a holiday, Anvilstone offers home-style dog boarding in the heart of the North Devon countryside. Set on a peaceful, private organic farm near South Molton, our boarding facilities provide a calm, enriching break for dogs of all breeds, ages, and activity levels.

Whether your dog prefers relaxed days lounging in our cool, spacious kennels or thrives with time spent exploring the great outdoors, we tailor each stay to suit your dog’s individual needs.

A Holiday, Not Just a Stay

At Anvilstone, dogs in our care don’t sit in kennels all day. We believe that even a boarding stay should be a time of enrichment, structure, and enjoyment. Guests join structured walks, play sessions and downtime tailored to their age and activity levels – all overseen by experienced handlers.

We have over 20 years of experience caring for and working with high-drive and working breeds like Wire-Haired Pointers, Vizslas, Malinois and Dobermans – but we welcome all breeds, large and small.

Book Your Dog’s Stay

We keep numbers low to provide the best possible care – a maximum of five dogs at any time – so early booking is essential.

Evening is usually best for phone calls, as signal is limited outside the farmhouse. Alternatively, feel free to WhatsApp, email or text and Ian will get back to you as soon as possible.
