About us 

Panos had a long-held belief that dogs thrive best in an environment where enrichment goes hand in hand with clear guidance. After years of experience working closely with dogs, he wanted to open a daycare that went beyond free play — one that focused on building confidence, good behaviour, and balanced social skills in every dog.

​

Panos brings over 25 years of professional experience working with dogs and their owners. He has trained working dogs in Italy for search and rescue, assistance and pet therapy. Additionally, he owned and managed a dog training school and kennels, specialising in family pets, guard dogs and police dogs.

​

The journey began with structured agility classes, designed to challenge dogs both mentally and physically while reinforcing focus and control. These sessions quickly showed how powerful a training-led approach could be, not just for performance, but for overall wellbeing and safety.

In 2018, Dog Stories officially opened its doors as a full daycare. From day one, the emphasis has remained the same:
small, well-managed groups, clear routines, supervised play, and safety above all else.

Today, Dog Stories continues to grow while staying true to its original vision — providing dogs with a stimulating, structured environment where they can learn, play, and develop into their best selves, and giving owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in experienced, caring hands.
