There are lots of dog walkers around since I set up in 2008. But I like to think I'm a bit different. Fun but very safety conscious & vigilant with a huge knowledge of dog behaviour. Walking dogs in Bristol City Parks and open spaces can be very tricky as the parks get congested and busy roads near by. Safety of the dogs I walk and those around me is my top priority. I often take on rescues and dogs with issues, its a huge challenge but rewarding to gradually see them turn around & their confidence build as they get to know their regular walk pals. Dogs and all things doggy are my life so even when not working I'm hanging out with my friends and client's and their dogs as well as my continued personal development at training seminars run by the top modern dog trainers in the field today like IMDT.
I like to communicate well with the dogs' owners to ensure we all work together for a positive change in the way they interact with people, dogs and their environment and to make sure I am fully up to date on the dog.
I walk a max of 3 dogs at a time as that's what I believe to be the safe limit. I'll collect your dog from your home and where possible walk to your nearest park. Dogs don't do the rounds being left in the car bored and hot, it's straight out the door.
I have a great bunch of dogs who all get on well and great clients too.
Since I started in 2008 I've built up a huge amount of experience in addition to the knowledge that I gained with my own dogs over the last 16 years, 2 of which have been rescues.
Dogs!!! My whole life revolves around them! I have strong views on training methods and dog care & nutrition ... Lying in the positive reinforcement camp for training.
My walks are fun,safe and I train dogs as I go as established and discussed in my registration, prior to walks. I'm a terrier fanatic, I guess talking terrier is my forte :)
