'Nae vans, nae cages, we'll walk your dog for ages'
We are Edinburgh based dog walkers comprising of a two-person team (Euan & Alana, Big E & Mullen) that make use of the great parks and walk routes that Leith has to offer! We offer years of experience with a wide variety of dogs - we walk Chihuahuas to Deerhounds - and when we come across a breed we have not walked before, we research and learn!
We pride ourselves on being different;
- We walk everywhere! We don't use vans or cages, and ensure that our dogs get a good, stimulating and exciting walk every day that they are in our care. We advertise our walks as an hour, but more often than not due to our walk routes, some dogs are out with us for over two hours as we walk and explore parks.
- We like to teach our dogs all about 'etiquette' and will use basic training (positive of course!) to ensure that wherever we go, our gang of hounds can be trusted to be friendly, confident and harmonious. We take on any training that your dog is currently receiving, and can help with problematic behaviours (pulling, jumping, poor recall, food scavenging etc)
- We like to be flexible! We know that with hectic work schedules, and rotational shift work, finding someone to look after your dog can be difficult. Whether your dog needs an hours walk to break up his day, or needs an extended walk because he is energetic, or he needs someone with him at all times because of separation anxiety, we offer a selection of walks and care options to fit exactly what he needs.
-We are all about the community! Whether it is uploading photos and videos of the dogs to our page, or purchasing our equipment and supplies from local business, we wish to be an interactive business that we can be proud of. We like to build up a good rapport with other dog owners and walkers in the park, and have quite the handful of dogs that we meet each day that we can call friends!
-We don't require you to sign contracts, or expect you to pay cancellation fees (all we ask for us is at least 24 hours notice so that we can adjust our walk routes) and we work bank holidays! We offer several payment options including weekly and monthly instalments, cash or bank transfer payments, and we offer discount packages for dogs from the same household. Whatever your dog needs, and however you wish to pay, it is completely up to you.
- We like to put an emphasis on dog socialisation, with puppies often accompanying older dogs out on their routes. We have a great group of dogs that all get along together, of all ages and breeds, and we believe that the more a puppy is socialised while they are young, the greater the chances that they will grow up to be a confident, calm, and good-tempered dog! If you would like to know more about us, please feel free to send us a message. As we both have access to the page, any queries can be answered quickly. We both carry insurance through Petplan Sanctuary, permits from Edinburgh council to use their parks, a police background search and recommendations if you require these documents :)
