About Me/ Company
Hi. I am Caroline and I run a dog walking service in Newcastle upon Tyne. I own 6 dogs of my own and offer group walks throughout Cochrane Park/High Heaton and the surrounding areas. All dogs are assessed and suitably matched to their walking partners, to get the most out of their walk. I walk in groups of up to 4, with an occasional one of my own dogs joining us. My main walks last one hour, although I can occasionally offer shorter walks, for puppies or older dogs that are unable to come along for a full hour.
I can offer daycare to a well-socialised dog that is able to come on a walk or two during the day, depending upon the time I have the dog.
I offer dog boarding occasionally thoughout the year. I only board one or two dogs from the same family at any one time, to offer one-on-one attention. My dog walking clients can take advantage of a discount for holiday boarding.
Qualifications & Training
I have completed 2 years of a 3 year foundation degree in Canine Behaviour and Training. This is a distance learning course with Bishop Burton college, which enables me to do lectures and course work in the evenings. I hope to go on to do the top-up degree next year.
I attended a Pet Dog Instructor's Training course in the summer of 2009, which enabled me to learn a great deal regarding offering pet dog training.
I regularly train and compete in dog agility with my border collie, Mist. My standard poodle, Lottie, is currently starting her training and will hopefully go on to compete soon.
Other Services
I also offer pet visits for all family pets, whether you are away on your holidays or need an extra hand due to illness or during a busier time in your life.
