What owners say
We cannot speak highly enough of Kerry and Georgia. We took our very timid German Shepherd puppies Willow and Lilly to Kerry for the puppy training course. I was instantly impressed with how friendly and professional Georgia was to deal with when booking them in and she has been absolutely lovely to deal with since. The minute we met Kerry, we knew that we had definitely without a doubt, taken our girls to the right place. The whole experience was new to all of us and my whole family found the lessons fun and informative. Our girls were nervous and shy, but he was so patient with them and never pushed them out of their comfort zone. However, his encouraging and kind nature got the best out of them every week. We cannot recommend Kerry and Georgia’s puppy school classes enough. But it hasn’t stopped there. Kerry and Georgia have gone above and beyond since the course finished to continue to help us bring Willow and Lilly out of their shells. They have visited our home weekly and are now opening up their training field for us. Due to our family circumstances, it’s really important that I have well trained German Shepherds and now with Kerry’s help and advice, I feel much more confident that I can achieve this. We would thoroughly recommend Park Avon Puppy training. Kerry and Georgia’s love for Dogs is so obvious as soon as you meet them. We haven’t used the Kennels as yet, but Kerry has gained two German Shepherds for life! In the future we will not only be enrolling in more puppy training classes, but we will be using the Doggy Day care and Kennels. We cannot thank you both enough for everything you are doing for our family.

Our two dogs recently boarded at ParkAvon for 4 days, this was their first time at a boarding facility. We will definitely be using their services again, it was super easy and stress free for us and the dogs, and very nice seeing pictures of them playing while we were away. A big thanks to all the staff for keeping our dogs happy!

I genuinely couldn’t recommend a better daycare/kennel for your dog, if you’re looking then look no further. Bax has been going to park Avon since he was about 6 months old in 2022 and to say he loves it is an understatement. He has so many great friends there and loves all the staff. The staff are amazing, the owner Kerry is one of the best people you’ll meet and knows what he’s doing. They take the safety of the dogs so seriously, they’ll always be in good hands. Here’s a picture of a boy that loves his doggy daycare 🐾

We have been staying for boarding at Parkavon with my 6 y.o. shiba inu for the first time. Our experience was very smooth, mobile app is easy to use (I booked the boarding via their app), staff is very friendly and involved (at drop off they read through all the instructions with me again to make sure everything is transparent). The dog returned home after 5 days stay healthy, clean and happy. Definitely will come back again!

We’re so grateful to have found Parkavon for kennel stays, as well as training, for our energetic Australian Shepherd. Canterbury is so lucky to have this calibre of facilities. It is easy to see that Kerry & the whole team are genuinely experienced and passionate about dogs. Nice to see photos of what all the pups get up to on their FB page. Their mobile app to book services is easy as.
