DOG WALKING

Group Walks

2hr Group Dog Walks, in a country Park led by a qualified Dog Trainer.

This is our unique flagship service where our dog trainer picks your dog up in our air conditioned vans fitted with crates and take’s them out to a country park for a good old run and sniff in the rivers, woods, ponds and fields away from too much of the hustle and bustle of city life.

Max 8 dogs between the dog trainer and apprentice trainer. At least 2hrs dog walking in the park. All our dogs live super close together in Hammersmith, Chiswick, Shepherds bush so minimal travel time. That being said riding around with us taking in the smells and being cuddled etc is pretty nice. Pick up about 8.15am-9.30am. Drop off about 12.30pm to 1.45pm.

Slow Jo’s 1hr Ravenscourt Park Walk

We also are now offering a ‘Slow Jo’s’ walk.

Therefore if you have an older/ smaller/ easy dog who just likes to potter about by your side then for a lower rate they can be picked up on foot in a group of max 4 dogs, and enjoy Ravenscourt Park/ Stamford brook. Note full group walks are recommended for most dogs but if you were considering a basic outing like some other walkers provide, our assistants now offer these kind of walks too.

Is my dog Ready for Group walks?

If they can safely do so I want to give all dogs the option to sniff and socialise with their own kind every day off lead, keeping on the move. Therefore being able to safely socialise off lead is what we are looking for, for group walks. So if you believe your dog would struggle to do this safely lets’s book a Training & Behaviour Consultation and get them there. Sometimes it takes us no more than 5 mins on a tester walk to get them there, other times some 121 work from us and or yourself is needed first

Training Walk’s

Usually a behaviour consultation will need to take place prior to this to ensure we have created the right program for your dog and that you are following the same plan.

If you already have a plan in place we can do our best to look at that and minimize any changes so long as there is no significant conflict to the approach but generally speaking if you would need to stop working with your current behaviourist if starting work with us or we have a ‘too many cooks, spoils the broth’ situation and it doesn’t work so well.

A Training Walk involves us looking for situations,(rather than avoiding them) to reinforce & practice the behaviours you have been working on at home, whilst your dog is out and about getting exercise.

This is suitable for dogs who are not ready to join group walks and to ensure those who are walking your dog are focussed on your dog to keep up the behaviour modification program you have in place.

*This is the right choice if you have a reactive dog/ boisterous dog/ dog with no recall etc. These sessions timing is door to door..

 Puppy Play Group

Puppy play group is to help socialise pups with nice vaccinated dogs. For this we will collect up to 4 dogs at one time and take them on a supervised play date, lasting about 40-60 mins depending on the mean requirement of the 4 pups. Pups should have a harness as they will also get time on a longline to practice recall out of play to set them up for success with this in the long run. Purposefully this will not just be a mele of puppies but rather we will look to bring nice uncle/ aunty dogs who can help us teach appropriate play .

Note: Puppies can start socialising from after 1st vaccine should you agree with the following statement from the American Veterinary Society. However Puppy group is sometimes in a widely used pen for these sessions it would be wiser to wait until after the 2nd Vaccine.

They can fully join adult walks once their growth plates have closed and they have reliable recall. Usually this is around 6 months. Can be as little as 5 months for smaller dogs. However we can start integrating them earlier with some carrying and lead time interspersed with their off lead bounding around time. They can also do some days of 121 walks.

1-2-1- Walks

This is for dogs who can’t yet do group walks due to behaviour or physical limitations. Typically we will aim to help you get your dog ready for groups and thue eventually lower the price for you. Till then:

£32 (60 mins) £45 (90 mins) £55 (120 mins)

Puppy 1-2-1 Walk / House visit

£26 (40 mins)

Once you can start leaving your puppy they may want to be visited every few hours as they get used to alone time and whilst their bladders develop to being allowed to last longer.

A walker will come for 40 mins and walk your puppy for the appropriate time. Feed them and play with them in the house and work on training games for the remaining time.
