ind. ABOUT ME
‘Solo’ was my first dog that became a loyal and loving companion through my childhood; hence why I have named my business after him. The name also seemed poignant as I work alone and without employing others within my business that ensures continuity. Whilst I have taught in Further Education for 14 years, my passion was always to work with animals. I carried out voluntary work at my local kennels for 5 and a half years which involved working with dogs that come in for boarding and those that require a new home. I have also fostered dogs that have needed that extra bit of care which has helped them successfully settle into their new homes. I am committed to giving the very best service and to provide the love and comfort to all pets within my care for which they so deserve. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information or request a booking on:

I recently passed my IMDT assessment in April 2022 and looking forward to what my future will bring.

Solo Canine Training/Solo Pet Services has been extremely busy with lots of 1-1's from puppies, adolescents , adults and senior dogs that need a little extra help in their daily life.
My apologies for being so quiet, however, I will be looking at offering some training walks to support people and families that may need that extra help when walking their dogs (watch this space).
Also I am still walking my regular dogs that keep me on my toes.
I am also looking into new ventures which again I will keep you posted.
I totally work on my own, however, I am very lucky to have the support and guidance from a very dear friend who is also IMDT accredited and is always there to help out with work I am unable to take on.
If anyone needs classes please contact me and I will pass class details on who use positive reinforcement only.
Thank you for reading
Have a wonderful summer

Another visit to my puppy who is now 8 months young. The family are putting everything in to help him when out, at home with visiting family and friends.
We are still working very closely together to ensure the support for this amazing family.
So proud of this boy and his family xx

I met this little fellow a couple of months ago, he had recently been rehomed with this wonderful family.
He has had so much to deal with, change of family that he had been with since a puppy and health issues.
We discussed letting him settle first into a new routine, giving him time to adjust (this varies with each individual dog).
We had lots of barking, jumping up at everyone alongside his health issues. (He is on medication for life after he was diagnosed).
My second visit yesterday to see how the whole family are, (we have kept in regular contact, with support and guidance).
The family has followed everything by changing lots of things to help him settle into his new home.
I was welcomed by a very calm and quiet boy and he was just happy showing me all his toys and settling with us.
WOW I'm so proud of this family for all their dedication and commitment, they followed the plan we devised, yes it worked and I couldn't be happier.
We are staying in contact and I will be visiting again, to keep that support for them all.
This was done with kind, and positive training, no pain or fear.
Be kind

To be part of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers we have to update our knowledge to remain accredited with up to date science based knowledge and provide CPD each year.
I personally like to attend webinars, training courses etc so that I can share my knowledge and skills with all the people I help with any puppy and/ or dog/s they may have.
I am pleased to say that my Easy peezy Puppy Instructor has been added onto my 'Find a Trainer's.
I offer one to one before you bring the puppy home, during and after.
I also take puppy classes and work alongside an amazing trainer who is APDT and also share work with other amazing IMDT trainers to ensure that your puppy/dog/s get all the support and guidance you need, wether it is on a one to one or in a class.
If you know anyone that needs help, please share.
All our methods are kind, non aversive and scientifically proven.
Be the change
Thank you

Our third session in an enclosed space that is secure and safe for our puppy.
He is a little unsure at times so we went to a nice quiet place with very low distractions.
We introduced him to my very calm boy, giving lots of space and observing interactions and body language having a lovely walk around the field.
We then went into the enclosed space and a long line came off.
His recall was awesome, checking in with his owners all the time, and I wish I took a photo of them running together and enjoying their time.
So proud of my boy being the perfect stooge to give this little one and his owners confidence and teaching them life skills.
We didn't ask for this, it's what they offered us and I quickly got a picture.
So proud of how they are all getting on with their very first puppy. XX

Our second 1-1 session with our puppy. His family are doing absolutely amazing, working on his loose lead walking, checking in and sitting watching the world go by and taking everything in.
Giving him choices, time, not rushing his walk and building on his confidence as it's all so very new.
So proud of them all xx

Apologies as I have not posted on my page for some time, various reasons. Helping puppies settle into their new homes with their new family, supporting owners with their new rescue dogs.
And looking after my regular little dogs that enjoy their walk and visits.
Back to training at all4paws with Fiona and our class of new puppies and returning classes.
And finally time for my boy and partner making more memories.
I have revamped my business and although it will always be Solo Pet Services I really want to help and support dogs and their owners with their new experiences and challenges owning a dog can bring.
I am continually studying to keep myself updated with knowledge and skills to help those owners out there.
I am now also offering training walks for those owners that need just a little more support and guidance.
Solo Pet Services commenced in 2013 and I am in my 11th year and I still enjoy spending time with all those pups/dogs and supporting their owners.
A lot has changed since then, I have grown as a person and learnt so much, however, I will not change how I work with my dogs. Their feelings and emotions will always come first and I will always be a voice for them.
Thank you for all your continuous support in allowing me to fulfil my dreams.

Received this wonderful picture of how this little one is learning to settle on a mat. He gets super excited at times so the family is working really well on this exercise. He has been rehomed by this wonderful family and is getting used to his new wonderful life.
All they want is for him to be happy and part of the family, what more could he want.
They have done everything we discussed and I couldn't ask no more from them.
He really has landed on his feet in such a wonderful caring home.
Looking forward to my next visit.
How cute is he?

This little one can get a little anxious in certain situations so we have put a plan in to help her with those emotions.
Her mum and family are doing amazing in supporting her so she is able to enjoy her walks.
I saw a huge change in my 2nd visit when out.
Everything is in place , giving her space so she can take everything in, enrichment inside and out, mum really helping build her confidence.
I'm looking forward to seeing this little girl in a few weeks again for cuddles.
I could not ask for anything more from her mum and I feel very privileged to support them in their training.

How can you resist those eyes?

SOLO PET AND HOME SERVICES

Solo Pet Services is based in Hockley, Essex and offers a range of services for your pet’s needs that include pet home visits, (dog and cat) dog walking and dog training. I have been established for 7 years and continue to grow.

I do not offer group walks, unless from the same family. Each walk is solo and tailored for your dog.

Do you need extra support with jumping up, recall and lead walking?

My aim is to assist pet lovers who maybe working or have other engagements to maintain a routine for their pets that will help to give owners that extra peace of mind.
