FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I KNOW MY DOG WILL BE SAFE?

Your dog will be walked in a small group of sociable dogs. I have a safe and secure crate fitted van to ensure your dog will be comfortable while travelling. R.B. Tootle ID tags and Tractive GPS Trackers will be fitted to all dogs prior to our walk. I will only let your dog off lead with consent from you and where a solid recall has been established. I am happy to discuss any additional safety measures which you feel may be necessary. Dogs will be kept on lead around all livestock. My groups are limited to small numbers to ensure a sensible dog to human ratio.

MY DOG IS DOG REACTIVE, CAN YOU WALK THEM?

Depending on your dog's issues I may be able to safely integrate them into a group, if this is not a viable option I will be happy to offer solo walking subject to availability. I have experience with reactive dogs and will adapt my services depending on individual need. Requests for walks in quieter locations can be accommodated, I will advocate for your dog to ensure they get the space they need on walks. 

ARE THERE ANY RULES?

Yes, there are a number of rules in place to ensure that everyone is kept safe. All dogs who are joining me for hikes should be up to date with vaccinations, flea treatments and worming. Dogs should be able to walk on a loose lead and must have good recall to take part in our group adventures, they must also be comfortable travelling. Unfortunately, for insurance purposes, I am unable to accept dogs that display aggression or have a bite history. I am also unable to accept dogs with severe resource guarding issues, 

MY PET NEEDS TO GO TO THE VET. WILL YOU TAKE THEM?

Yes, in the event of an emergency I will phone the nearest vet and make my way there. I will contact you to notify you. I will administer first aid treatment in the event of an emergency. All behavioural and health information must be disclosed at our meet and greet. We can discuss emergency plans in detail during our initial free consultation.

HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU?

I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance Ireland. I have multiple excellent recommendations from previous customers which can be viewed on my social media and Google profile. I am qualified in Canine First Aid, copies of my certifications are all available on request. Prior to moving to Ireland I was registered as a Professional Dog Walker with East Lothian Council in Scotland, this means that I was subject to inspection from them and was required to abide by their code of conduct while carrying out my duties.
