About Us…

Ascalon Canine Care is a small business based in Suffolk run by Helen and husband Chris. Helen is a provisional Certified & Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB, CCAB). Fully Trained Advanced Canine Behaviourist, holding a BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Behaviour, a Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour, a Level 5 Diploma as a dog Behaviour Practitioner. Being passionate about animal welfare our vision was to create a safe loving enviroment in which your pets can spend time enjoying themselves. Whether you require daycare, boarding or experiencing behaviour problems we are here to help and support you all the way.

What Happens at Ascalon?

Firstly we have a fully trained advanced canine behaviourist on-site and looking after just a small number of dogs we quickly bond and build trust. This is so important for all dogs. All in a homely safe enviroment where your dog is made to feel part of our family!

We believe ‘enrichment’ is equally important for a dogs mental health and wellbeing. For dogs enjoying full day care or holiday boarding we set aside time on a one to one basis with your dog providing opportunities to exercise their bodies and minds with a variety of skills such as problem-solving, confidence and searching.

Offering Full and Half Day Care!

With today’s modern life more and more people are working from home but still find it difficult to spend the time they would wish with their pets. We recognise this and offer half day care at Ascalon too! 

Offering Full and Half Daycare going out for a countryside walk in Suffolk or adventure to the coast followed by important down time. In between times are filled with play and enrichment. If your dog is Boarding with us they will enjoy the same routine as day care, board in our dedicated building which is heated with comfy beds, individual feed and water areas, security camera monitored and ‘Smart’ smoke monitored for peace of mind. Not forgetting the comfy spot under our stairs too!

We Offer Puppy Day Care Too!

The most important time for a dogs life is making sure they have necessary building blocks right from the start. We don’t offer puppy training classes but what we do offer is to take the greatest care of your new family member at times when you can’t and continue reinforcing their new life skills. When at Ascalon Canine Care your puppy will initially receive one to one attention and gradually be introduced to other older dogs that enjoy the company of puppies. They will go out for a short walk, enjoy playtime, but more importantly we continue teaching and practising their new learnt skills like sit, down, leave, recall and touch ‘body desensitising’. This helps them become confident, sociable, and better balanced.

Planning for Holiday Boarding?

We also offer ‘Holiday Boarding’ for when you are unable to take your dogs with you. This decision is never taken lightly as our pets are family. Our aim is to make your dog feel part of our family and to give them a holiday they can remember too! Spaces are limited offering a very personal service to just a few dogs so we recommend planning and booking in advance.

Having Dog Behaviour Problems?

We can help dogs and their owners with a broad spectrum of issues or unwanted behaviours. Helen is a Fully Trained Advanced Canine Behaviourist, holds a BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Behaviour, a Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour, a Level 5 Diploma as a dog Behaviour Practitioner and is available for a Behaviour Consultation to discuss any issues you and your dog/s might be experiencing.

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Nervous behaviour around people or objects
  • Issues with grooming and vets visits
  • Obsessive or compulsive behaviour
  • Hyper sensitivity or resource guarding
  • Problematic behaviour with a recent issue
  • Bonding issues with family and multi-dog households.

What our client’s say…

Booking Dexter to stay with Helen and Chris was the best decision ever! This was our first time leaving Dexter to go on holiday and we were obviously worried. All our concerns were addressed by Helen and Chris with patience and understanding. They met with us and Dexter before our trip and then welcomed him into their family as one of their own. We were sent daily updates of his adventures and it was clear he was as much on holiday as we were! I think he may even had a better time! Chris and Helen are attentive, caring, and obviously love dogs but more than that they have a huge knowledge so you can leave your beloved pet with them knowing that they couldn’t be in better, safer hands. I would 100% recommend them and will be using them every time we need Dexter to have somewhere to stay.
