"Just because your dog comes home tired, doesn't mean it's been a good walk"
We’re about dogs, not the bottom line!
Why Pack Walks Are Bad!
"In some respects, we have bred dogs to be perpetual puppies. When in the company of other dogs, their natural inclination is to act like puppies, with playful games of chase or wrestling with that rough and tumble frenzy similar to what we see in human children of preschool age. This can produce bonds of friendship between dogs and can generalize to become a positive and friendly attitude toward all other canines. However, in some cases, such forms of rough play can produce antagonistic relationships and attitudes. This is not uncommon when dogs have been allowed to run in an off-leash park area or have been placed in a doggie daycare where they interact with dogs of mixed sizes and temperaments in a generally unsupervised way. Under such circumstances, dogs may actually develop a general hostility or fear toward all unfamiliar dogs rather than acquiring canine friends."
An excerpt from Dr Stanley Coren, PhD., DSc., FRSC in an article for Modern Dog magazine.
Dog Walking FAQs
Does my dog have to be desexed to go on our walks?
No. Whilst we prefer dogs over 7 months to be desexed we can accomodate dogs that are not. They may have to be on lead and depending on the breed, temperament and gender may also need to be walked solo, but we can do it.
What do I need to do to get ready for dog walks?
We prefer if you provide your own collar and/or harness with ID tag, but should you get stuck we have spares. Keys/access to your property (if required).
What do we provide?
We‘ll look after the dog poo bags and treats. If you would prefer us use your own treats we can do that too (just leave them for us). We will of course send you some snaps of your dog on the walk and having some fun.
What if I need to cancel my booking?
We understand sometimes plans change. We’re pretty flexible so don’t worry you won’t lose your money. We can either reschedule or issue you with a credit to use in future. We can’t provide refunds though.
What are the booking terms?
We hate all the term stuff, but we know it’s important, so here goes.
Access to your property
Obviously it goes without saying if you book a dog walk and your dog is in the front or rear yard then your booking is implied that we can access that area to get your dog. We’ll ensure your dog is returned and any locks activated so everything is as it was when we arrived.
No such thing as bad dogs
However, We understand some dogs might be learning, need some training or perhaps not know boundaries and so may show signs of aggression. If you have one of these dogs or a dog that has been declared dangerous please let us know beforehand. It won’t mean we don’t walk them, rather we know so take steps to avoid any incidents or damage to persons or animals.
In the unlikely event we haven’t been made aware of such things, including your dog is a prolific escape artist or due to circumstances beyond our control occur where your dog may require a vet visit or need collection from an animal shelter, you may be liable for those costs.
Social Media
Unless advised otherwise your dog may be photographed and we may be responsible for the start of their influencer career. It’s up to you to advise us should you not want this to occur.
Vaccinations/Council Registration
It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is currently registered with the council and is up to date with vaccinations, worming and flea treatments. Any council fines will be your responsibility.
Many of us live busy lives and despite our best intentions don't always have the time to walk, nor train our dog.
We make the most of our walks by practicing skills in the real-world where there are more distractions. Whether it's loose lead training, nose work (this mentally exhausts dogs) or something a little more structured, our walks provides mental stimulation, and increases safety and socialization.
