How this service works.
Please contact me by e-mail or phone to organise a home
visit, so that I can meet you and your dog to discuss exactly what your needs are and how I can help you.
At this meeting I like to find out as much
as possible about your dogs temperament and behaviour so
you will be asked to fill out one of my questionnaires. Your dogs breed, age and energy levels are all important factors
that help us understand the needs of your dog.
Once I have met your dog I will then work out which
group of dogs would most suit your dog to be walked with or if your dog needs to be walked on its own.
The first walk
I shall collect the dog from its home using its own
lead as I find this helps to have its own familiar smell on it, then he/she will be put in my specially adapted van
on its own to then be driven to its walk. Once we start the walk I will try to build a bond by lots of praising, playing
and food treats so the dog becomes relaxed with me. The first walk I shall keep the dog on its lead and assess its recall
by putting him/her on a long line and keep calling him/her back to me and rewarding. Once I become confident the dog
is responding well to me I shall then let it off the lead providing the owner has given me permission, but this is not usually
done until after a few walks. After an hours walk the dogs will then be taken back to their home. All contented and
ready for a nice sleep.
