Meet Katie!
Katie has always had a huge interest in animals and their behaviour which led her to study Animal Behaviour and Welfare at University. Since graduating, she has volunteered and worked in many animal roles with both domestic and wild animals before moving on to a career in rescue. She spent 4 years training rescue dogs and working with cats and small animals and is focused on dog behaviour and training walks. You can be assured your dog has an amazing time with Katie as she loves to get their brains and their noses working in training walks, as well as ensuring they have lots of fun!

Meet Arabella!
Arabella has been on the team since 2018 and is well versed in what Muddy Buddies throws up, figuratively and literally on occasion....
She thrives in the great outdoors with the hounds and loves discovering new places for them all to explore.
Never one to shy away from challenge, Arabella may get knee deep in mud after climbing the steepest hills but she will always have a smile on her face and the pups love her for her spirit!

Meet Helen!
Hello! I am Helen. I am founder and owner of Muddy Buddies – Cotswold Dog Care.
Loving this dog life since 2013 when I started MB as a dog walking company, I now have many years under my belt. I was always keen to do more than the average dog walk and endeavoured to train my client dogs on the way.
Now I am a full time dog trainer with Joyful Dogs. I strive to create a harmonious relationship between pup and human. Saving owners from meltdowns, I teach you to think ‘more dog’. A counsellor of sorts, if you will 😉

We are live! It’s good to be back 🤗

Four-year-old Freddie is a very sweet, cuddly boy with plenty of love to give. He is very energetic but soon calms down for a cuddle and he will lean on you when he wants a fuss.
He arrived at the Shelter as a stray in January and can take a little time to come out of his shell, but he has made lots of progress with the help of our team. He is a true foodie which means he engages well with training and enjoys lots of scent games.
Freddie was recently taken for a day out in the Malvern Hills - he travelled well and thoroughly enjoyed the long walk and experiencing lots of new smells!
He loves meeting new people and rarely has all four paws on the ground! He would benefit from a spacious garden to play in and is looking for a new owner that is ready to embrace life with a bouncy dog. Freddie would like to be the only pet in the home with children aged 16+.
Freddie is becoming frustrated in kennels and is showing signs of stress so please like and share this post to help our beautiful bouncy boy find the forever home he has been waiting for!
If you would like to adopt Freddie please email 👉 [email protected] 👈 for an application form, or visit 👉 www.gawa.org.uk 👈 to see all our pets waiting to be adopted.

OH NO!
Picking up our dogs for their walk is just the best ❤️
Our Wilderness Walks - enriching, calm and fear free
Our Wilderness Walks 💚
Anyone else pretty vocal this morning?!
Our sister company, Joyful Dogs, offers training walks when dogs struggle on group walks. This is designed to build confidence around triggers, get them comfortable and, if appropriate, reintroduce the dog back onto our small group walks.
George dealt with several triggers in this clip but you can see him getting into it and relaxing more, to the point where he is able to lie down and engage well. Super pup - well done Georgie!
Come for a wander with us…

True collaboration.
Team work, hard work, makes the dream work.
Sherlock HATED getting into his owner's car and ours, even though he loved our walks.
Emelia & Katie in her Joyful Dogs hat persevered - now look!! We are SO chuffed 🤩
We are hoping Sherlock will be back on our small group walks soon.
We will ALWAYS go the extra mile for our fabulous clients. This is not just dog walking to us.

1. MOST IMPORTANTLY ask your walker what are they going to do with your dog? Might sound strange but it is crucial! What they do on their walks will ultimately change your dog's behaviour.
Do they let him rough house with other dogs and do whatever they want? If your walker allows just any behaviour, your dog is sure to behave like this when he is with you.
It's embarrassing when your dog is overly enthusiastic to meet their, sometimes, fearful or aggressive counterparts (believe me, I know!). Instead, you want him to listen to you rather than put themselves in danger or intimidate others. If your walker has you and your dog's interests at heart, they will have control of the group in a fun and entertaining way which leads the dog to learn that his human is the best thing ever! As a result, he will focus on you rather than other people, dogs or wildlife - bingo!
We are the loopy ones you will see running around, playing hide and seek, or encouraging our dog’s natural foraging tendencies - humans think we are bonkers but the dogs love it and stick by our side, no matter the distraction!
2. Are they fully insured? Ask for their certificate!
All responsible, professional dog walkers will have comprehensive insurance which covers public liability, injury and transportation of your dog. This should be specific to pet services, not a generic public liability insurance. If they have staff, they should also come under their company policy. This policy will also dictate how many dogs that person can walk at one time.
In the past we have walked bigger groups but have seen the benefit of smaller packs - we keep to four dogs plus our resident dogs sometimes join in! This leads to an altogether calmer walk.
We are insured with Pet Business Insurance, a comprehensive cover to put your mind at ease.
3. Are they canine first aid trained? Ask for their certificate!
This is essential should they be faced with an emergency. You want your walker to deal with this situation calmly and correctly. Do they know the most effective procedure for heat stroke? What will they do with an adder bite?
We have completed comprehensive, hands on canine first aid training on an annual basis since we opened in 2013 and feel confident in handling common first aid situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.
