Raising the Standard of Dog Care and Education
Award-winning dog daycare, training and holidays in North London
Halo Dogs was founded in 2009 by Justin Kumaran on a simple belief: dogs thrive when they are understood, well cared for and given the freedom to be dogs.
From our estate at Holly Hill Farm in Enfield, our experienced team looks after dogs from across London through daycare, boarding, training and one-to-one care, always with welfare first.
Every dog is assessed before they join us, so each one is placed with the right companions and the right routine.

Dog boarding
This isn't a kennel.
Dogs stay with us in a calm, supervised home environment, with familiar routines, proper rest and plenty of time with people who know them by name.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Halo Dogs?
Halo Dogs is a 5-star licensed dog day care, boarding and training centre on a private 540-acre estate in Enfield, North London. It was founded in 2009 as a dog rescue centre and now offers overnight stays, weekday day care, dog training, private field hire, grooming, dog walking and a pet taxi, all from one site. Dogs spend their days outdoors across open countryside, with climate-controlled indoor spaces for rest.
Where is Halo Dogs located?
Holly Hill Farm, The Ridgeway, Enfield EN2 8AN, on a 540-acre private estate at the northern edge of London. The chauffeur service collects from across North London and parts of Hertfordshire and Essex. Visits are by appointment.
Is Halo Dogs licensed?
Yes. Halo Dogs holds a 5-star licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018, with Justin Kumaran as the named licensee. Licence numbers LN/201500615 and LN/202500201.
Do you collect and return dogs?
Yes. The chauffeur service collects on weekdays between 8 am and 10 am and returns dogs home between 4 pm and 6 pm, across North London and parts of Hertfordshire and Essex. Contact the team with your postcode to confirm your area is covered, or see the pet taxi in London.
Is there veterinary support on site?
Yes. The team includes Registered Veterinary Nurse Ros Sherlock, who has worked with dogs for more than 45 years, including 25 as a head veterinary nurse. Vet nurse consultations are also available as a standalone service.
What does my dog need before their first visit?
Every new dog completes an assessment before their first day care session or overnight stay, so the team can understand their temperament, routine and care needs and place them with compatible dogs. Dogs must also be up to date with core vaccinations.
Can puppies and older dogs attend?
Yes. Puppy training can start from 10 weeks of age once fully vaccinated, and there is no upper age limit. Day care groups are organised by age and energy level, with a dedicated puppy zone and a calmer area for senior dogs.
Do you offer dog training?
Yes. Halo Dogs trains with positive reinforcement and clicker training, from puppy foundations and 1-2-1 sessions through to residential programmes and agility. Dog training is led by founder Justin Kumaran, a Master Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers, and owners are taught the same methods to keep progress going at home.
Can I hire a private dog field?
Yes. The private field is booked exclusively for 30 or 60 minute sessions, with 6ft double fencing, an airlock entrance and exit, and floodlights so evening sessions run year-round. The dog park suits dogs who need off-lead space without other dogs around.
How will I know how my dog is getting on?
Every day care and boarding guest receives a daily service report covering meals, exercise, behaviour and general wellbeing. Bookings are managed through the online client portal.
How do I book?
New clients start by booking a visit to the estate or calling 020 8367 7899, and the team then arranges an assessment. Existing clients can book directly through the client portal.
