Patient Paws by Sam

Patient Paws by Sam I offer a dog walking and pet check in service in Torbay, and South Hams.
(1)

I have experience in reactive, large breeds and I offer solo walks for this reason...Because not every dog loves the pack 🐾
Solo walks, Pet pop ins, and Group field walks

Wow, I’m feeling popular today! 🤭🤗

My morning pop ins brightened my Monday morning - if you ever feel sad or grumpy, these faces and their little nudges and paws for attention are sure to make anyone smile 🥹💖

Trust 💖 it’s a small word with a big outcome.

Whether or not it’s the first time they eat when I’m in the same room.

Or the first time they come up and give me kisses.

Or perhaps it’s the first time they settle knowing they can trust me to look after them while their mum is away.

Every paw on my arm, every waggy tail, and every time they ask for attention - THIS is what trust looks like 🥹

Whether it takes 10 minutes or 10 visits, I will work at your dogs pace to show them they can trust me, and I will wait until they are ready before walking them, or putting their harness on, or even before sitting next to them while they eat.

Because it’s their world…. And I’m just lucky enough to be in it 💞

Run, don’t walk, to paws4playdogpark in Cullompton! 🤗 THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Today we were truly blown away by the genius of this secure dog field, with a difference! It has a huge pond specially for dogs to paddle, swim or jump into the water!

Well worth the journey from Paignton, we were amazed at how much there was to do there for every possible dog personality, skill and preference.

Jax = Swimming
Cooper = Toys in abundance
Sadie = Agility

All 3 dogs are thoroughly knackered after charging around the huge area, and we were absolutely amazed at how many seating areas, refreshment options and facilities there were on site for the pawrents!

Absolutely a 5* review - thank you Paws 4 Play, you did good! 👍🤗🎉

‘Reactive’ is a funny old word to describe a dog 🤔 Can you guess which of these dogs is reactive? ⬇️

If the answer is no, then do not let your off lead dog run up to a dog on the lead! If you can’t tell by one glance if a dog is reactive, nervous or stressed, then you shouldn’t ever be taking the chance! That’s the whole point 🤷‍♀️

Be kind, be mindful - be proactive!

❤️🥹 Alfie 🥹❤️
His squeaks, razor teeth and pounces are just so endearing! Sometimes amongst all the reactivity in our dogs, it’s nice to spend time with a puppy with no anxiety, stress, pain or fear, and who thinks the most exciting thing in the world is a holly leaf! 😅

Photos are to brighten your day 🥹😊❤️

These reviews mean the world to me 🥹

From one reactive dog owner to another, my absolute business goal is to make people feel less alone with their reactive dogs and to give the owners a break, with someone they trust…. because I get it 💔

I’ve been there, I know what anti-social extremes we sometimes need to go to in order to make our dog feel safe, calm and relaxed 😅

Henry and Hugo are very loved, very gorgeous boys and I am so honoured to be their dog walker 🫶🏻

Every dog owner-dog walker conversation in the UK right now 🤣

So lucky to have such wonderful clients that completely understand when I have to reduce, cancel or change their scheduled walks to a pop in because of the heat 🥰

☀️ Stay cool like Evie! 💦🎾
Me: Ball, or water? Evie: Yes! 😁😂

Evie has absolutely mastered the art of summer… a shady garden, her favourite ball, plenty of fresh water, and her very own cooling trough to plonk herself in whenever she fancies. Safe to say she’s got it all figured out! 😍

On hot days, dogs don’t need long walks to have fun. A little garden play, enrichment, frozen treats, paddling pools (or troughs if you’re Evie! 😂), and plenty of rest in the shade can be just as rewarding.

If temperatures are too high, I’ll always adapt our plans—whether that’s a shortened shaded walk, a garden visit, or recommending we skip the walk altogether.

Stay safe, stay cool… and take a leaf out of Evie’s book. 🩵🐾
