A lot of people ask me how I manage to get the whole group to sit still and look at the camera for photos… 📸🐶

I wish I could say it was down to some sort of clever photography trick or perfect timing 😂

The reality is much simpler…

It’s all down to the power of treats and biscuits! 🍪🐾

Amazing how quickly everyone suddenly knows exactly where to look when there’s food involved 🤣

Lovely home stay with Mirrah 🐾🐕 and Coco & Kimmy 🐈‍⬛🐈😸 at the weekend!

I walk Mirrah every week in the groups, so it was really nice getting to spend a bit more one-to-one time with her and seeing her settle into the home stay. 🏠

We even managed to borrow her best pal Clover for a big walk on Saturday 🐶 I’ve walked both Mirrah and Clover since they were tiny pups, and it’s been lovely watching them grow up together — they’ve got such a close bond now.

Another great stay with a lovely wee gang 🐾

Some of the shenanigans from the past week 😆🐾

Another busy one with plenty of walks, happy dogs and the usual chaos along the way 😂

I currently have availability for group walks and home stays. All solo walk and drop-in spaces are full at the moment.

If you’d like more info or want to check availability, feel free to get in touch 🐶🐕

Some highlights from a very busy couple of weeks 🐾🐶

Kassie’s home stay came to an end after a lovely stay, and straight onto the next one with Mia & Cooper keeping me company! 🏡🐕

We also welcomed little Boris the Collie for his first walk with me. He absolutely smashed it 😁 The plan is to build him up gradually over the next wee while with the aim of getting him into the group walks once he’s a bit older and ready.

Plenty of walks, home stays and new faces keeping me busy as always — thanks again to everyone for the continued support! 🐾

Enjoying the first few days of Kassie’s 11-night home stay 🐾🏡

Kassie was a little nervous around new people when we first met, so over the last couple of months I’ve been visiting her regularly and taking things at her pace. Those weekly visits gave her time to get used to me both in the house and out on walks, and it’s been great to see her confidence grow.

Now that the home stay is here, she’s settled, relaxed and very happy in her own environment 😊

During a home stay, dogs can join the group walks through the day if they’re suited to them. If not, they’ll still get their own morning and evening walks, along with regular drop-ins and company throughout the day.

A big thank you to Kassie’s owners for trusting me to look after her while they’re away on holidays 😁

Some of this week’s group walk adventures 🐾🐕

Whether you’re looking for someone to get your dog out while you’re at work, want them to enjoy more exercise and socialisation, or just need someone to save you from heading out in the rubbish autumn/winter weather 🤣☔️, our group walks have got you covered!

Plenty of fun, new pals and tired dogs afterwards 😁🐶

No rain today 😁🐾🐕

A very wet and muddy Monday ☔️🐾

Special shoutout to Finn & Rosie, who both decided the best way to start the week was with a good roll in fox 💩… cheers guys 😂

Has your dog ever done this? If so, you’ll know the struggle 😷😂

You can definitely feel autumn starting to creep in now! 🍂

The dogs also said goodbye to the wee old van this week and hello to their new, bigger ride for getting to and from their walks 🚐🐕 Plenty more room for the gang now!

Some pics of the new van setup to follow soon 👀

Thanks as always for the continued support!
