Our History
Canine Capers of Chester, founded in 2010, is an independent business offering the very best of care to your canine best friend when you cannot be there. Whether you are away on business, living it up on holiday or simply busy with day to day life, I am here to ensure your dog’s needs are met to the highest of standards. I offer 1 hour pack walks, doggy daycare and home from home dog boarding. All the dogs enjoy long walks within a pack environment on our secure fields in the Cheshire countryside.
My Passion and Assurance
My work really is a true labour of love and I feel so lucky to be able to spend my days out in the countryside surrounded by so many waggy tails and smiley faces!. As well as highly experienced handlers, Canine Capers also has canine first aid certificates, A diploma in dog communication, is fully insured and holds a 5 star licence from Cheshire West and Chester council (25/AAL/HB/549601).
Emma Bryson
Having grown up with a huge range of animals from hamsters and rabbits to dogs and horses, I have always had an enormous passion for all things 4 legged! I have dedicated a huge part of my life to rescuing dogs and get so much pleasure out of rehabilitating them and seeing them enjoy the very best life. I began fostering boxer dogs over two decades ago, these dogs came from a whole range of situations but inevitably, they each had their individual behavoural and health hurdles to overcome. I loved nothing better than working with these dogs and, eventually, seeing them trot off to their new owners knowing they would now be safe and forever loved. It then seemed to be a natural progression to work full time with dogs. So, in 2010, I made the decision to leave the corporate world of Estate Agency and founded Canine Capers of Chester and the rest as they say, is history.
Blake
In February 2025, we welcomed the adorable little bundle of puppy madness that is Blake into the family. He’s a very confident outgoing boy who just took to his new home and pack life like he’d always been here. In true boxer puppy style, he certainly keeps me on my toes and it’s an absolute joy to watch him grow flourish under our care.
Brody
In 2021, the soppiest Bullmastiff you could ever meet joined my resident pack. Brody is a rescue dog who’s previous life was pretty horrendous, she was so starved and emaciated when she arrived at my door but immediately showed her fantastic character and love of life, despite the starvation she had endured. Brody just loves people (a little too much some times!!) and is great with all dogs, big and small. All this girl needed was some good nutritious food and she was soon fighting fit and embracing all that life here has to offer her.
