Hope you have all had a lovely weekend.

With the weather set to be toasty next week, we will be taking our usual precautions of early walks with a plan to completing all by lunchtime. There may also be some changes to the duration of walks too.
I will contact customers on a day to day basis and advise accordingly.
Apologies for any inconvenience, however the dogs are our very first priority, and their welfare is paramount to Wheelers Walkies.

Thank you for your understanding.

The reason our dogs look happy at Wheelers Walkies....🤔
..Well, it's quite simple. We let our dogs be dogs. They sniff (each others bums if they want too!), they explore (a variety of different places), they play (if they feel like it), they roll (sometimes in fox poo - because, why the hell not?).

Their human slaves; make sure that they have fun in small groups of 4 dogs (no more!), they feed dog approved sweeties (just because they can), they don't just stand in a field and throw a ball for an hour, and they have nice clean, dog friendly, vehicles which meet the legal requirements of the transportation of animals.

Oh. And did I mention, the cuddles. Lots of cuddles! 🥰 🐾

My Friday posts don't seem to be posting very well recently. Possibly due to all the lovely pictures of your happy dogs. Its so difficult to choose, and I end up posting so many - Friday eve, is clearly a very busy time Facebook 🤔

Anyway, here are all the happy snaps from last week. 🐾 hope you've had a great weekend.

It was certainly a wet end to the week. Pups and humans, absolutely did not care. We had lots if fun, despite being a little soggy. 🐾

Wowsers, what a scorcher this week has been. We have had early starts, and a little shuffling of walks. However, all dogs have had their Wheelers Walkies fix and enjoyed swimming and walks in the shade. 🐾

Early walks with this cutie 💓

11/06/2023

Due to the warm weather, I would like to advise that all walks will be finished before 12pm. We can offer pop ins if needed for anyone that requires an afternoon service. Our priority is the welfare of the dogs. If we think it is too warm for walks, or your dog is not coping in the heat, we may not be able to offer your usual service. We will always offer an alternative service, such as a pop in.

Thank you, and hope you have had a lovely weekend. 🐾

Choosing the right dog walker for your four-legged companion requires careful consideration. You want someone who not only enjoys spending time with dogs, but also follows high ethical standards. Here are the key factors you should consider ensuring that you're entrusting your canine friend to an ethical dog walker:

Understanding Your Dog's Unique Needs:

A considerate dog walker understands that every dog is an individual, with their own temperament, physical abilities, and personal comfort zones. They should be prepared to adapt their approach to suit your dog's specific needs, considering things like walking pace, distance, and any behavioural tendencies.

Considerate Group Sizes:

An ethical dog walker will limit the number of dogs they walk at the same time. This shows their commitment to offering each dog the attention and care they require, placing the welfare of the dogs above the potential to earn more by walking larger groups.

Commitment to Safety:

Look for a dog walker who prioritises safety. They should use suitable and secure equipment, such as robust leads and secure harnesses. Additionally, they should assure you that your dog will be safely fastened during transport and that they always follow road rules. The presence of a first aid kit is also a good indicator of their preparedness for emergencies.

Professionalism and Honesty:

A professional dog walker should maintain transparency with their clients. This means they're willing to discuss any incidents or issues that occur during the walk. They should also be clear about their services, fees, and any changes to schedules or plans.

Up-to-Date Canine Knowledge:

A responsible dog walker should keep updating their knowledge about dog behaviour, health concerns, breed-specific traits, and the latest developments in their field. This ongoing commitment to learning reflects their dedication to their profession and ability to provide optimal care for your dog.

By using these guidelines, you can find an ethical dog walker who not only provides a professional service but also genuinely cares for the well-being of your dog.

As a result of Jo being off on a well deserved break, It was take your 'husband' to work week 🤣 Martin loves the dogs, he loves good weather (good job Jo planned ahead 😉), but he is most definitely not up to clocking roughly 40k steps every day! It's been lovely having my sidekick with me (thank you Martin!), and it's been great seeing all of my old crew again 🐾 I've told Jo, no more holidays, my legs are killing me. 🤣
