People say nice things! Kali is a newer member of the crew but has seamlessly fitted into the pack. As much as she hates car rides she loves her hikes and all the treats! Shes a quirky sweet girl and her humans are pretty cool too! 😎 🐾

Sunshine, surprisingly quiet trails and a happy Poppy. Willow was busy working on quiet leash walking and Hannah was understated as always ☀️

Soggy, windy Tuesday morning walk. As usual the trotters sucked it up and trotted along perfectly 👏

People say nice things! This quote is from Beanie‘s amazing humans who sadly (and selfishly!) have moved out of my area. Miss you guys! 🐾

Sassy schnauzers and one grumpy old lady. Question is who is the old lady? Mac or me?! 😅

Monday vibes for the Tuesday trotters but we were happy to have Summer back from her vacay, welcome back to the drizzle sum sum!

Chilly walk for three this morning. The snow was fun but we’re kinda over the cold mornings and icy trails now! 🥶

Monday morning vibes! While it isn’t snowing this week it was freezing and icy which definitely impacted on enthusiasm this morning 🧊

The Thursday trotters were a motley crew this morning with the addition of some Tuesday trotters. I love that my dogs are all so great that every pack is basically interchangeable 👏

Winter wonderland for the Wednesday walkers. The girls from Texas, California and the UK loved playing in the white stuff. Special shout out to the Prius too for kicking ass in the snow ⛄️

All services are cancelled today - Monday 3 February due to the forecasted snow. Services tomorrow are TBD, I will reach out to affected clients directly. Stay warm and safe out there ⛄️ 🐾

I’m saying Mac felt left out today but…. a switch for Lincoln and the addition of his cousin Sammy (welcome back Sammy!) led to a gaggle of schnauzers and one Mac on this morning’s walk 🪿

Very frosty walk for the Wednesday walkers but the trail was quiet and the listening was 👌 so a success 🧊

I swear the morning’s are getting colder! Getting everyone posed in the frost, wrestling off gloves, grabbing treats, holding a phone and getting everyone to look in the 5 minute window of passing people is quite the feat in -2! 🥶

Could they look any more uninterested?! 🙈 😅 Frosty conditions meant no one wanted to park their bum for a picture. But as I keep telling them frost is better than mud!

Another chilly stroll for the trotters. The trails are an icy mess so I was super happy with their listening and calm walking today. Unlike them I don’t come with 4x4 capability so a more likely to slip and fall. Good work trotters 👏 🧊 Trotters featuring Evan, Lincoln, Minnie, Penny and Zelda 🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #minischnauzer #schnauzer #labrador #yellowlab #labradorretriever

OG Hot Dog Ruby came along to balance out the pack for Mac. Not sure if this was responsible for Mac’s silly mood but it brightened up the Thursday walk 💁‍♀️ Trotters featuring Ruby, Mac, Sunmer, Evan and Zelda 🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #blacklab #minischnauzer #schnauzer

Being sick as a dog walker is not fun but having well drilled, bomb proof packs helps! Thankful to my walkers and hikers for keeping the shenanigans down and helping me get through the day 👏 Walkers featuring Hannah, Poppy and Willow Hikers featuring Hemmy, Kali, Winston and Roscoe 🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #duncandogs #miniaussie #labradoodle #minischnauzer #schnauzer

Combo of the Monday and Tuesday walkers today. I held off on posting Guinness’s last walk pictures but she looked so serene I wanted to honour her by posting them. Usual apathy from the Tuesday trotters! And generally just wishing that dogs didn’t age.

This morning I got to pick up long term hiker @zelda_the_schipperke for her first pack hike in over a year. I was worried she wouldn’t be excited to see me and the crew but happily once she got over the shock she was super happy. Made my day! 🥰🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #skipperke

Shower dodging mismash crew! We combined packs today which gave Penny a chance to show me how well her recall is and the schnauzers a chance to get dirty. The others can’t tell the time so didn’t care we were early 🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #minischnauzer #schnauzer #labrador #yellowlab #labradorretriever

Muggy, buggy and muddy for the Tuesday crew but lots of happy faces so we’ll take it! 🐾 - - #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #dogswhohike #yyjdogs #dogwalker #dogwalkerlife #hotdogsdogwalking #doglife #dog #dogsofinstaworld #dogsoftheday #dogpack #packwalker #hotdogsdogwalkingservices #doggo #doggos #woof #woofwoof #happydogs #happydog #packlife #happiestdogs #doodle

Unseasonably swampy for the Tuesday trotters this morning.

Building a dream, one dog at a time

As a life long dog owner and lover I’ve often dreamed of turning my passion into my living, and 2018 is the year I’m going to make it happen along with my faithful hound Harry.

I’m 36 and originally from England but have lived in glorious Victoria for five years. In my spare time I can usually be found in the forest, on a beach or heading out for adventures with Harry. I love to run, ride, hike and explore and would love to share my adventures with four-legged friends. I’ve worked in the communication sector for 12 years but have decided to take the leap and follow my dream.

I know the conflict of managing life and work commitments with being a responsible dog owner, and my aim is to provide a reliable, flexible and affordable solution for dog owners. My emphasis is on peace of mind for the owner and a fun experience for the dog. I plan on never walking more than five (ideally four) dogs at a time so each dog can get my attention and have an enjoyable walk.

I’m currently working towards completing my pet first aid certification, finding a suitable insurance policy and building my website, but I plan to be up and running by mid April 2018. In the meantime my faithful partner Jeromy is helping out with some neigbourhood dogs. Exciting and scary times ahead!

Building a dream, one year on!

It’s been just under a year since I launched Hot Dogs and what a year it’s been.

Business wise, Hot Dogs has expanded to a pack of 22 dogs which is amazing! I’m also now am a certified pet first aider, am fully insured and own more leashes and items of waterproof clothing than I thought was possible!

On a personal level there have been some new additions in Hot Dog number two Ruby in February and some losses in the loss of my father in July. Through the tough times the support of my clients has been incredible and being surrounded by dogs has been a real tonic. While watching Ruby flourish from a timid, untrained, nervous stray to the confident dog she is now has reaffirmed why I do what I do. While her recall is still a work in progress, she joins in with as many hikes as she can and loves her pack walks. She loves to play with Riley, Daisy and her BFF Ella.

I met some amazing humans and dogs and have learnt so much, not only about running a business, but also about dogs. I’m learning that you never stop learning but sticking to my aim of not walking more than four dogs at a time has enabled me to really get to know my dogs and know what makes them tick, what their triggers are and how to best work with them. The social interactions between the hike dogs in particular are fascinating and at times hilarious as they form friendships and at times rivalries. I’ve been very lucky in that all of the dogs are happy and friendly and while I let them be dogs I’m always watching for signs that playtime is getting out of control. One thing they all know is that I am in charge of the pack!

Being greeted everyday by colleagues who can’t wait to see you is the best feeling, although having colleagues that lick you and jump up on you has been a change for sure, especially when it comes to trying to take a bathroom break mid hike!

In 2019 we hope to continue to expand and add more dogs to the pack and are planning some dog training classes for us to make us the best we can be, and hopefully roll training out to clients too.

Thank you for your support!
