Dog walking
Happy 3 rd birthday this week to these handsome two ๐๐
Just all just a reminder that we are now on holiday and will be back for walks on the 29 th July ๐ถ๐พ๐พ
Just chilling on a Sunday between the โ๏ธ ๐
So after a very sad week where we lost our beautiful boy, I just want to thank everyone for all your good wishes and understanding if walks have been changed times or days over the past few weeks. And for your pups gorgeous faces cheering us up. โค๏ธ

We have some spaces opened up on a Monday and Friday due to clients changing their days. Fully insured and DBS checked small group walks. We are extremely caring to all our dogs and highly reliable. Excellent references available. Areas covered Walton Hersham and Molesey. Also available solo walks mornings and later afternoons from 2 pm. Drop me a message if you would like more details. ๐พ๐พ
So handsome ๐
This is so true
Yesterday I read a post on a colleague's page which should have been entirely noncontroversial. The post stated that dogs shouldn't be regularly crated for 8 hours or more at a time. Incredibly some people pushed back hard on that point on the basis it excluded people who worked full time/long hours from having a dog.
And there's the rub. ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐๐ค๐. Much as they might want one. Not everyone's lifestyle is compatible with dog ownership. Which can be a bitter pill to swallow if you desperately want a dog in your life but that doesn't make it any less true.
Dogs need social contact*. They need space to move*. To deprive them of these things has a detrimental effect on their well being, no matter how loved they may be. So if the only way someone can fit a dog into their life is to leave it alone & crated for 8-10 hours every day they really need to do some soul searching and consider the dog's experience, not just their own wants.
If you do work out of the home for long hours and still want a dog in your life then you have to be prepared to pay for support to help you care for your dog - a dog walker, pet sitter, day care etc. And high quality, ethical pet care costs.
Does that mean that those who work long hours out of the home and can't afford high quality pet care can't have a dog? Yes, very possibly.
Owning a dog isn't a right. It's a responsibility which means that you have to consider the dog's welfare ahead of your own wants. There will be many such decisions along the way and the first one is whether your lifestyle can meet a dog's most basic needs. And if it can't, the answer should be 'no'.

When you are with your dog Walker but alone the happiness ๐๐
Due to the traffic situation at the halfway Walton today our routes will be longer. All dogs will be picked up just bear with us time wise thank you ๐
Puppy visit with little Evie. We do puppy / dog visits around our walks for pups who are young or alone during the day with owners working. Daycare is great for some pups but can be overwhelming for some. If you need pop ins for your pup drop us a message ๐พ๐พ
