Dog walking

Dog walking is a large part of my business. A walk is really important for your dog. It not only helps solidify a bond between dog and walker, it provides mental and physical stimulation, a way to outlet their energy and it also give them a bit of 1:1 attention. Even though I measure my services in time, a walk isn't about quantity - its about quality. It's about the dog getting what they need from their walk.

​

It is for this reason I do not offer group walks of more then 3 dogs. In my personal opinion I do not believe I could give enough focus and attention onto more then 3 dogs on a walk. They deserve my full undivided attention and that is what they will get. 

​

I offer walks in and around your local area and I also offer walks further a field for your dog to have some variety and an exciting trip out. 

​

Van walks do not include travel times to the walk destination so the dog will still receive the full 30m/1hr walk. At the moment I do not travel further than 10 minutes away for a walk due to time and fuel restrictions.

​

Sometimes if we have been for a really muddy and wet walk I will end the walk a few minutes earlier to give myself some time to clean and dry your dog before dropping them back off.

​

My dog walking service is suitable for any and all dogs of any size, age and personality. If your dog has any specific behavioural challenges, i will tailor their walk directly to their needs and give them the extra love and care they may need. 

​

Each walk is tailored specifically to your dog. Where we go and what we do is entirely based on your dogs needs. From a slow, steady sniffy walk to a faster paced walk and a run around to release your dogs energy.

​

As part of my walks I do not let dogs off lead until I am certain they have a solid recall with me. Even though they may have great recall with their owners, to begin with they do not have that same bond with me. During our walks I will be working on recall with your dog and will always use a long line to give them more freedom and let them have a run around if they feel they need to.

​

I walk a maximum of 3 dogs at a time. If you wish for your dog to have some company, a play buddy or to have some socialisation on a walk I will match your dog with another that I feel matches with their personality. 

​

Overall I aim to give your dog a happy, fun and fulfilling walk.

​

In the case of extreme weather (hot temperatures, heavy rain (if your dog doesn't like rain), icy conditions) it may not be possible to walk your dog. I aim to walk dogs in any weather as long as it is safe. In cases of extreme/dangerous weather, I will be in touch the day before to make other arrangements for your dogs walk.
