Simple Lead walks singly or in groups
Our basic service involves taking your dog for a walk on the lead. This can be following your usual walk or we can devise our own routes for variety. If we are all comfortable with walking your dog with others in the area then we can group walk them although this will only involve two dogs per handler at a time.
Fitness Routines
If your dog has weight and or a fitness issue we can devise an individual routine to help him or her to improve. This would involve taking a "Holistic" approach by looking at diet and exercise.This may involve allowing your dog off the lead where safe to do so and if we were comfortable in him or her responding to our commands or the dog-whistle. We would always ask you before letting your dog off the lead.
Before undertaking such a program we would consult you as to the dogs general fitness and well being.
A gradual reduction in weight and or improvement in fitness is preferable to dramatic changes. At the end of the day we all want a happy and healthy dog!
Our own Retriever Max gained weight after being neutered. We have reduced his weight by 4 kgs and dramatically improved his overall fitness levels. His regime has involved focusing on raising his metabolic rate through increased exercise and changing his diet. He still has a way to go but we are getting there!
Longer Walks
We are lucky enough to be living in the Cotswolds with all its open countryside available. We can therefore offer longer country walks or even half day hikes. Max our Retriever loves swimming and we can incorporate that into the walks if appropriate.
Pet Sitting
We can offer a full pet sitting service where we will stay with your pet or pets in your own home. This has proven very popular as your animals are in familiar surroundings and an added bonus is that your house is not left vacant! We will look after most animals so please call us for more information. We can provide written references from existing clients if required.
