Four Paws Boarding Kennels & Puppy School – Where Happy Dogs Stay and Learn
At Four Paws in East London, South Africa, we offer more than just a place for your dog to stay — we provide a home away from home. Our boarding kennels are safe, clean, and spacious, with plenty of personal attention, daily exercise, and care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s a weekend away or an extended holiday, your dog will be loved and looked after like one of our own.
We’re also proud to offer our trusted Puppy School, where we help young dogs and their owners build the foundation for a lifetime of good behaviour and companionship. Using kind, reward-based methods, our classes are fun, structured, and run by experienced trainers who understand what dogs — and owners — need.
Join the Four Paws family, where dogs come to stay, play, and learn.

Boarding Kennels
As the doting owners of two power breed pups, it gives us absolute peace of mind sending our furkids to Four Paws. In fact, Stella and Bear make a dash towards Lisa and Iain on arrival because they are eager for their own holiday to start. Thank you for the incredible care you afford our pups in such a beautiful setting. You are truly the best!
To dear Lisa & Iain and the rest of the staff... a big THANK YOU for taking care of my Max boy for such a long time while we were on holiday. I could see that he was a happy boy when I fetched him. I enjoyed seeing regular photos of him which helped with the sore heart. Thank you for your daily love & care . Much appreciated.
This will be his home away from home. ♡♡
A very big THANK YOU to Iain and Lisa for caring for Ace, Ossy and Fara so well, while we spent Christmas with our children in CT. They were even given Christmas presents on Christmas Day. They came home happy and healthy as if they had never been away. I wouldn't hesitate to use your facilities again.
Beautiful. A very well run establishment where the animals take priority! Highly recommended.
Very caring and helpful. My kennel of choice.
Dog Training
Brilliant. Best investment I've ever made for my pup. Training and guidance that was vital in turning him into a gentleman.
When we arrived could instantly feel these are animal lovers out and out and felt instantly comfortable being there.

Just completed the puppy course for our Corgi. We, and our corgi, have learnt so much from Lisa and Colleen. Thank you so much for giving us the knowledge and tools to teach our puppy to become obedient but also socialise with different breed of puppies. We recommend Four Paws for all Pet Parents out there for the fundamental steps towards a well behaved and socialized puppy.
