About us

Paula Staff – Founder/Owner
Since opening the crèche in May 2017, I have dedicated the last few years to making Coco's a very special place. I have recruited a young team who are as passionate about dogs and their welfare as I am. All team members are DBS checked and Canine First Aid trained. We also have a variety of qualifications and certificates in animal welfare and specific dog-related subjects, including canine massage. I am currently studying for an Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour and, in recent years, have attended national and international dog behaviour conferences. I have supported local Trainers with their puppy classes and with ongoing training and development of dogs of all ages, and have previously volunteered with dog rescue charities, helping with assessing and rehoming.
I have been the proud 'Mum' of 4 dogs during my married life, including Coco herself and her younger half-sister Mollie. Having grown up with several family dogs of differing breeds, I felt early on that I had a true connection with all dogs, even canine strangers in the park would come up to me and make friends straight away. In short, dogs are my life and I feel blessed to be doing what I do every single day!
