Terms & Conditions Statement

You will receive a copy of the full terms & conditions after a successful consultation. Here are some important things to remember.

It is assumed that the owner will ensure that their dog is up-to-date with their vaccinations as well as their flea, tick and worm treatments. Beyond The Bark will not be held liable for any contracted illness or parasites whilst your dog is in our care.

The owner is responsible for making sure their dog has an appropriate collar with correct ID tag and is microchipped in accordance to the law. Dogs without suitable ID may be refused service until rectified.

All dogs will be subject to an initial (free) consultation by Beyond The Bark prior to using our services. Beyond The Bark reserves the right to refuse any dog for any reason deemed necessary.

The owner accepts full liability for any loss or damage caused by their dog whilst being walked. Beyond The Bark is not held accountable for any vet fees or third party claims whilst your dog is in our care.

The owner is to make full disclosure of any characteristic problems which might make your dog unsuitable for walking; including any health or behavioural problems. Failure on the owners part to disclose any matter might render the dog unsuitable for walking.

Clients must ensure that they message or email their booking requirements at least 2 weeks in advance. We will confirm the booking with you once availability has been checked.

You may cancel your booked slot and, providing you give a minimum of 24-hours notice, you will not be charged. However, if cancellation is made within 24-hours of the walk commencing, the full rate will be charged.

No dog will be subject to any aversive training tools such as bark collars, prong collars or slip leads. It is the owners responsibility to make sure a correct collar or harness is available, along with a secure lead that has a clip.

The owner consents to their dog being photographed, videotaped, and/or used in any media or advertising by Beyond The Bark without prior approval. All such media remains the property of Beyond The Bark.

Welcome to Beyond The Bark!

A bit about me - my name is Laura, I have been working with dogs most of my life and have built up 15+ years experience. I have a Lurcher who I took on from a rescue at the end of 2022, with her help I have taken a step into learning about canine behaviour and adjustment, I hope to be able to offer this as a service in future once I have completed my additional training. I have extensive experience in body language and handling having been a professional groomer and a dog warden in the past. I am fully insured and can't wait to meet you and your dogs!

My ethos - mind over matter. Walking isn't just about pure physical stimulation, dogs are intelligent and all breeds have a need to use their brains. Using a structured walking strategy, I will not only bring your dog the pleasure of a stroll, but I can engage their brain with fun, positive training techniques along the way, and the best bit is, your dog won't even realise I'm doing it! Mental stimulation is far more tiring than physical, meaning a super satisfied, sleepy pup.

My services - 20 minute Short Walk, tailored specifically for smaller breeds, puppies, golden oldies or those with health conditions.
40 minute Long Walk, perfect for larger breeds, those with high energy or the ones who just love being out and about.
As I only offer 1-1 walking sessions, this ensures my full attention to your dog the whole time. I tailor the walking structure to yours and your dogs needs and I cater to all breeds. Your dog will get a full 20 or 40 minutes (depending on service) of my undivided attention. The only time your dog will not be walked is when the weather is too hot for paws on the pavement. Instead your dog will have their full allotted time playing or relaxing in your garden under my constant supervision. Being 1-1 based also allows me to help build confidence and self control in both reactive and nervous dogs.
