Dog Walking is one of the services provided by our Pet Minders or Dog walkers. The dog walks are generally done in the middle of the day. It's good for busy people or elderly/unwell people who are unable to walk their dog. It's also great for dogs that get bored or anxious during the day and who suffer from separation anxiety. Dogs may show they are bored or anxious by exhibiting a range of behaviors such as barking, digging, destroying things, escaping from the property. We recommend that if your dog shows a number of these behaviors you consult with a qualified Dog Trainer in addition to regular walks. You can find links on our useful resources page.
We visit and walk your dog from home or put them in the car and take them to a local beach or park. Dog walks can be daily, regular or a one off booking. Dogs can be on or off the lead depending on their responsiveness and how well socialised they are.
As for price that depends on where you live, how many dogs you have, whether you want group or individual, how long you want them out for and how often you need them walked. We have many clients and they all do something different, and so pay something different. To give you an idea have a look at our rates page.
Individual Dog Walking
The Individual Dog Walks are suited to puppies needing individual basic dog training like heel, sit, down, stay, wait and come or for older dogs that like their own space and pace, be that slow or fast.
Group Dog Walking
The Group Dog walks are great for dogs that enjoy the company of other dogs and are a slightly cheaper option but subject to there being others dogs in your area.
