🐶the benefits of choosing a 1-1 dogwalker with experience in rescue🐶

Doggy Trotters believes that while group walks are beneficial for some dogs, our 1-1 sessions provide each dog with a session totally devoted to that individual dog, prioritising their welfare and maxmising my ability to read and communicate with each dog through their body language and behaviour displays🦮

By not having a van, Doggy Trotters provides a niche experience whereby I travel to where your dog is comfortable, enjoys their safe space walks, and worries surrounding car journeys or being around other dogs in a close promixity are eliminated. This also maximises our walking time😃🥾

It is common knowledge that when setting up a dog walking buisness, experience isnt required. However, from working for the largest dog welfare charity as a canine carer and devoting my life to the dogs in that rescue it is fair to say I have a strong understanding of canine behaviour, of positive reinforcement and force free methods and experience in behaviour modifcation programes. Furthermore, my work as a VCA in a specialist referal hospital provides me with veterinary care knowledge.

this is not a bashing of other walkers but rather an insight into why doggy trotters operates the way it does - your dogs’ welfare is my upmost priority in every way💛🐶

(disclaimer - i will walk multiple household dogs if this is their normal routine to be walked together, again this is something i am experienced in🐶)

not my usual post but this is to close to my heart not to share♥️ buster, the legend behind doggy trotters, passed 2.5 years ago but now looks over the kennel his memory fundraised, giving a home for rescue dogs on their journey to their forever home🥹 i ran and walked 2010km (1253 miles) last year - representing the year he was born - to give back to the rescue industry. it was the biggest privilege of my life calling buster my best friend, but now its an honour to give back to rescue, the job that changed my life and helped heal that buster shaped hole in my heart♥️

a lovely review from a lovely client♥️

looking for a dogwalker experienced with nervous, reactive and fearful dogs?

i am a fully insured and well experienced dogwalker with lots of experience in rescue and dogs with behavioural needs🤗 I advocate only for force free and positive reinforcement handling and training🐶

I will have been in business a year in april down in stirlingshire but I am opening my diary to the area from may😄

I worked for DogsTrust as a canine carer and have worked as a veterinary care assistant for a specialist referral hospital. I am going on to study veterinary nursing🩺
so I have a lot of experience with working in canine rescue and veterinary care.

I do solo walks, multi dog household walks, house visits and pet sitting♥️

I must do a meet and greet (free of charge) to make sure the dog and myself are the right fit and to discuss the needs of your dog because doggy trotters prioritises each dogs’ individual welfare needs! 🤩

disclaimer❗️i will work with dogs without specific behaviour needs just i have lots of experience with behaviour so i am more than happy to take these dogs on!

Please feel free to give me a message either here or contact 07862025621 to enquire!

Any shares would be greatly appreciated, thank you🐶♥️🐾🥾

🐾doggy.trotters prioritises welfare and your dog’s feelings🐾

💗today is just one example of how i listen to what dogs’ are trying to communicate to me and adjust our session accordingly:
💗these two angels’ often have big feelings and today i believe they were trigger stacked (when a few triggers make a cup of feelings overflow) this is common for dogs and will present itself in various forms.
💗today, i believe it took the form of displacement (eating lots of grass), barking more than usual, stress yawn (displacement) and a couple of shake offs (indicating big feelings had been felt)
💗so…(trying to cut the waffle down) i did not force them to continue the hour long walk session, instead i took them back home (to comfort) and ⭐️PLAYED⭐️
💗i believe it is super important to recognise every day with every dog is sooo different, and as their walker it is my responsibility to recognise these feelings and do my best to make them feel as stress free as possible.
💗playing worked wonders and really helped naboo’s body language to become more relaxed and to help her feel confident in herself today.
💗disclaimer: i always ensure to communicate with the pawrents about our session and why on days like today i changed the plan. i am very lucky to have clients that trust my judgement and are so understanding🥰

that face when your dogwalker brings you to a field with a tug ball😁😁 before and after dingo seen his fave toy!

safe to say these precious boys approve of my new Walkie Mountains tug ball! cant wait to give my other clients a play session with it too😊i reckon the colouring i chose is a big part of why its such a success as studies have shown that blue and yellow are the colours dogs can see best🥹🤯

20/05/2024
