WE HAVE NEVER REFUSED A DOG – as long as they are happy travelling in the car and sociable on walks, they are always welcome with us.

We offer a range of specialised services tailored to meet your individual needs. Our approach is focused on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions.

🚦 LEAD POLICY & SAFETY

We respect every owner’s wishes completely: NO DOG IS WALKED OFF-LEAD UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED BY YOU. Our high-quality 8m Flexi leads give freedom to sniff and explore whilst remaining fully secure. With two of us working together, we have total control even in busy areas.
