It had been a life long ambition for both Andy and Louise to open up a Boarding Kennels, Cattery and Dog Training School. In 2002 it came to fruition. Even though the house came with the history of the Ann Heron Murder they were not put off. It is a fantastic location on the A67 between Durham Tees Valley Airport and Darlington just off the A66. It is now a family ran enterprise with all 4 children, Louis, Evie, Jack and Angel aka Gromit, all involved in the day to day running of the business. The Boarding Kennels & Cattery are modern purpose built, accommodating 40 cats and 98 dogs.
