About us

Where it all began

Daniel and Felicity both have a huge passion for animals, so it’s fitting that a dog brought them together. Felicity needed help with a Springer Spaniel that had a mind of its own. Along came Daniel with his dog training expertise and the rest, as they say, is history!

 

Our experience

Felicity previously managed a private dressage stable yard. Recently, she has worked in a large veterinary practice and also a prestigious dog and cat kennel in Surrey. She has also for the last few years been showing dogs and competing successfully at Crufts.

Daniel has been surrounded by animals all his life, but dogs have played an especially big role. He is a very successful dog trainer in all breeds, with both himself and his students winning titles all over the country. Last year he was invited to become a member of the United Kingdom team and had the opportunity to put his training methods to the test. Word of his talent as a trainer is now spreading further afield as his reputation continues to grow.

On several occasions, Daniel has travelled abroad to demonstrate his training methods as well as attending country fairs. Daniel has also demonstrated his training skills at Crufts as part of The Kennel Club’s working dog activities.

 

Life at Old Station Kennels

Daniel and Felicity currently own five different breeds of dogs, including two Labradors, a Golden Retriever, a Flatcoated Retriever and a German Shepherd. All of them have been trained to a very high standard using reward-based training.

Daniel and Felicity’s goal is to own, run and be recognised as one of the best boarding kennels in the country. Making your dog’s visit as happy and stress-free as possible is at the heart of everything they do.

Old Station Kennels offers 26 kennels for boarding, four exercise paddocks on site, and 1.7 acres of surrounding grassland and fields with two ponds. It is situated in the picturesque countryside between Melton Mowbray and Grantham.
