Other Services
• Dog Walking
Whatever the weather, “Walkies for Paws†are committed to exercising your pet. I will collect your beloved dog and take him/her for a fun and stimulating walk. Dogs benefit greatly from a long, energetic fun walk and are then less likely to develop behavioural problems, as this ensures they are released from boredom and isolation. All dogs benefit from exercise mentally and physically after all dogs are pack animals and sociable creatures just like us. Your dog will receive individual attention as well as the companionship of other dogs who like nothing more than exercising in parks, open fields or woodland and once the walk is completed “Walkies for Paws†will ensure that your pet is returned to your home towel dried and ready to be welcomed back into the home. Each walk lasts for around one hour; you have the option of morning, lunch time or afternoon.
*Training
I also offer 1-2-1 positive reward based training, to help you conquer those little niggling habits.
*Home Visits
I can visit your dog in your home during the day. This is ideal for puppies, elderly dogs or perhaps dogs recovering from a visit to the vets.
This can include toilet breaks, walks, cuddles, mentally stimulating games, feeding, puppy training and, if required I can administer medication.
*Emergency Home Visits
If you're stuck at work I can pop by and let your dog out for you.
*Pet Transportation
I can assist you transporting your pet to the vets, groomers, kennels or home boarding.
I can also represent you at the vets if you wish.
