Dogs and Families Closure

Dear All

As some of you are now aware, Dogs and Families will be closing at the end of July.

It has been a wonderful 17 years for me growing and running this business and the staff and I feel it is now the right time for us all to move on to new adventures.

Martine will be focussing on her dogs in her local area and we wish her ongoing success and good health. x

Emma H and her wife are expecting twin boys at the end of the Summer and we wish them all a safe delivery and huge congratulations! x

Jacqui will continue walking a few days a week with some familiar doggies at Hadleigh Park, but will not be hosting any walks. We wish her lots of happiness in her new set up. x

And me... some of you may be aware that I moved to Yorkshire last year 🙂
And I'm going back to school! I have a bank Teaching job, a couple of days a week starting in September. Hoping to make a difference to some young lives.

Needless to say, it has been an absolute pleasure running classes, providing training and having your company on our walks and working with you and all your dogs over the years.

We hope, like us, you have good memories too. 🐾🥰💙

All our love

Emma and the Team

We want to let you know that Carol will be leaving Dogs and Families next Thursday.

Carol has been with us since December 2013, starting out as a dog walker before quickly becoming a qualified dog trainer. She went on to teach many wonderful classes at St George’s Church Hall and later completed her diploma in Canine Behaviour and Psychology, going on to support so many families as a behaviourist.

For over a decade, Carol has been such an important part of our team — her kindness, dedication, and wealth of knowledge have touched so many people and dogs along the way. She will be hugely missed by us all.

As she steps into semi-retirement, we couldn’t be happier for her to enjoy a slower pace of life and more precious time with her family.

Please join us in sending Carol all our love and best wishes for the future — and in celebrating her very special 60th birthday on September 23rd!

Love & best wishes Carol

Emma &
The dogs and families Team
