DOG WALKING

Out at work all day or just don’t have the time to give your best friend the daily walk he deserves – we CAN help.

We will come to see you and your dog for an initial assessment, which is when we can get to know you both and find out what your requirements will be.

If you are likely to be out at work or just not at home on walk days we would require you to let us keep a house key, which at all times will be kept in a safe and secure place, we can then collect your dog and take him/her for a fun walk and deliver back safely, making sure we wipe any muddy paws. If you are at work all day we will try our best to keep your dog out of the house and not "home alone" for as long as we can. All of the dogs seem to love being in the van alongside their playmates and if they are one of the first to be collected they don’t mind the ride whilst we "round the others up" and head off for our destination. We always carry a supply of drinking water as well as a shower system to hose off those dirty paws. We offer a very flexible service and if you think your dog will not be happy travelling we will endeavour to accommodate by taking in a walk from your home.

Our vehicles are very dog friendly and are fitted out with secure, enclosed cages which have a rubber matting with vet bed on top making them very easy to clean and comfortable for your dog.

Walking is essential to both the physical and mental health of your dog and our intention for all the dogs in our care is to give them fun, stimulation and exercise then deliver them back safe and happy. We will make sure they have water and we can also feed your dog if required.

While we are walking your dog we always try to instil good manners and behaviour and if you have any training issues we will try to help throughout the duration of the walk.

Our walking areas vary according to the dogs we are walking that particular day. We do like to take in country walks with fields where the dogs can have a good run around, if they are that way inclined. If your dog is more of a plodder they can just tootle along at their own speed. Another favourite is a river walk as a lot of our dogs love to have a paddle and especially if the weather is warm it is a good way for them to cool off.

All this aside, our main priority is to keep your dog safe and if we feel, for whatever reason, that your dog will be safer on a lead for a particular walk will will do so.

Here’s a few images for you to look at. As you will see, all our friends enjoy themselves when they go on a walk with us! There is always something to do..........

Fun Day Out

The first Sunday of each month is our "Fun Day Out" when we can take your dog along with us to either the beach or Hamsterley Forest. We start collecting the dogs around 9 o’clock and aim to drop off again mid afternoon.

This is an opportunity for your pet to socialise with dogs that they may not necessarily meet on a regular basis.

It also gives you the opportunity to have a day out yourself without having to rush back home to take the dog out. Your beloved pet will have had an energetic, fun day and will be happy to sleep until you return.
