Owner Suzanne Aspinall said: “We also open our doggy day care exclusively to the dogs that come each week and they can stay over night.
"They are already used to the house, myself and their friends.
"We’ve been licensed now for three years, we’ve got our own activity jar where the dogs can pick a ticket out and they include things like school trips to the park and various other enrichment activities.
"They get the school bus included so I pick them up and we go on lots of walks.

"I pitched my business to Theo Paphitis from Dragons Den and he looks at your business, what you do, your socials and your website.
"My pitch was around the work we do especially with the nervous dogs or who might be a little bit nervous of bigger spaces.
"It works really well because we’re home-based so they can form friendships together and they get used to the pattern of the dogs that they are with.
"So you submit your pitch on a Sunday and then Theo will pick his winner.
"We won the small business award and we get to go and meet him and collect our award at his business conference where you can connect and learn from the best.
