Time for another introduction, and today we have two beautiful girls to welcome to Waggy Walkers!
Meet Tilly and Dotty, both girls are nine years old and born just two weeks apart.

Tilly, the white one, is a border terrier crossed with a Jack Russell and is full of beans out on walks. She loves to run around and explore and especially loves meeting new dogs and people. She’s very outgoing and often tried to join in when other dogs start to play.

On the other hand, Dotty the black Jackipoo is a bit more quiet and reserved than her sister. She prefers to take the walk at her own pace and can get easily overwhelmed and uncomfortable with too many dogs around. Because of this, we’re very careful to make sure are groups aren’t too big (in group size or breed size) so Dotty feels comfortable when she’s out with us. The great thing about Dotty is she’s very trusting of her walkers and if she does feel upset she comes to us knowing that we’ll keep her safe.

These two adorable girls are definitely some of our favourites here at Waggy Walkers and they get plenty of compliments and cuddles from the other dog walkers too. Looking forward to many more lovely walks in the future. Love you both 😊🐶

It breaks my heart to have to write this post but sadly a few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our beautiful little Luna. She has moved away as her owner passed away suddenly due to a heart attack and she is now living with her owner’s family. My deepest condolences to Luna and her family as they come to terms with this tragic and unexpected loss. With permission from Luna’s family, I am able to write this post and wish them all the best going forward. As her walker, I also received payments from her owner after his passing which I will not be keeping and his family have declined to have it returned to them. I have decided to donate this money to Guide Dogs as they are a charity very close to my heart having worked with a Guide Dog myself.

Luna’s owner was a lovely man, although I didn’t see him much, the few times he was home we would often have a nice chat. He was very understanding and supportive of me and Will and happy to be flexible with us knowing we were giving Luna the best care we could. He also gave us lovely gifts at Christmas which really showed how much he cared. One thing that has always been obvious, he loved Luna more than anything in the world. He made sure she always went out for two walks everyday, he built a little doggy service station at his door for Luna’s harness, coat, towel, leads and treats, he always left treats out for me and Will to make sure she had something nice to chew on when we dropped her home, he always kept up with grooming appointments so there was never a hair out of place on her beautiful coat, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say she had hundreds of toys! Perhaps that’s why Luna was always so sassy seeing as he’s always treated her like the princess she deserves to be!

Unfortunately, Facebook only allows me to put one video up at a time so I picked my absolute favourite of Luna. My adorable little diva, I will miss you with all of my heart. Seeing you every single day for your walk, your sassy little growls when I’m not putting your harness on right, running back to me when I called you and jumping up to get a cuddle, how chilled out you were on all the walks and just happily toddled around without a care in the world, and how you’d refuse to go with me when your owner was home and he’d have to carry you downstairs while you’d look away from me and pretend I wasn’t there. The cuddles, the zoomies, the sass! I’ll miss it all and I hope one day we’ll meet again. For now though, I hope you’re doing ok without your owner as I know how much you loved him. I’m grateful you’re still with family who understand you and will give you the absolute best they can. I’ll never forget you little Luna, stay sassy 🐶❤️

Happy Late Birthday to Nessa who turned 4 yesterday! And even though she was with me yesterday I completely forgot to take a new photo or video of her for this post 😅

I hope you had a lovely day playing with Zama and snoozing on the couch while your mum was at work. See you soon 🎉🐶😊

A very special day at Waggy Walkers. Today we celebrate our 5th Anniversary in business! A massive thank you to all of the clients over the years. Your continued support and kindness is a constant reminder to me of how much I love doing what I do. I love all of my dogs with all of my heart and am honoured to be their walker. Thanks again and here’s to another great year! 🎉😊🐶

Happy Birthday to the adorable Dolly! Seeing as it is her birthday, I thought it was about time I introduced Dolly and her sister!

Evee and Dolly are both 1 year old Cavapoos who joined us just before Christmas. Having grown up together, the girls have a very strong bond and love to run around together. That being said, this hasn’t taken away from their socialising with the other dogs and they’ve made loads of friends through Waggy Walkers. They both share a strong sense of curiosity and are often quick to run off and explore their surroundings and say hi to other people or dogs. Since they started with us we’ve been working hard on recall. As of now, when called one of the girls will usually come back but we’ve yet to get both back at the same time! Despite this, they have progressed so much in the short time that they’ve been with us and we appreciate that they are both young and just want to go and see the world!

Evee and Dolly have such love for life and this always brightens up the walks when they’re around. They’re so full of love and affection and they love being around their walkers and other doggy friends. We look forward to another fun year with the girls. Happy Birthday Dolly!!! 🎉😊

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to Bertie Boopers on his second birthday! Here’s a lovely video of him and Aero having a play. I hope you have another year of just as much fun Boopers 🎉😊🐾

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the Waggy Walkers dogs and their families and to all else who know us! What a wonderful year of walks and care it has been and we look forward to another fantastic year. To wrap up our advent calendar, what better way to finish it than with my own two beautiful Old English Sheepdogs.

Firstly, my youngest girl, 2 year old Zama commonly dressed in red and wearing the green Christmas jumper. What a crazy dog! She’s so full of life and energy, almost too much for anyone to contain! But equally, she is just as full of love and adores any attention she can get. She loves both her owners but prefers her dad as she’s always so excited when she knows he’s coming home from work. She loves a cuddle and is always causing mischief if she doesn’t get it! She’s very sassy and knows how to push her owners buttons. At the beginning of the year, Zama didn’t have the best manners and her behaviour out on walks was poor. We began training her intensely, making sure her recall was perfect and that she wouldn’t go near other dogs or people if we didn’t want her to. Now, I’m proud to say she’s one of the best behaved dogs out on walks. She went above and beyond my expectations of her and obediently follows commands as well as being respectful in the decisions she makes on her own out on walks. She’s really stepped up to the mark and matured into an incredible young girl. She’s even started doing agility over the past couple of months which has further improved our bond. I’m immensely proud to be her owner and I wouldn’t trade her unco-ordinated, sassy, goofy nature for the world.

Secondly, my beautiful boy, 5 year-old Azzy commonly dressed in blue. Words can’t describe what a perfect dog he’s been. From the first day I met him years ago, I knew he would be everything I wanted and needed in a dog. His loyalty is unquestionable, no one comes before his mum, he’ll outright ignore any other human being regardless of who they are to him if I’m around. On walks he’s obedient and for the most part comes when he’s called unless he thinks he knows better. He’s very protective of his pack, any dog that is in our walk, he looks after. He makes sure no one is making any other dog uncomfortable and he’s happy to step in between arguments to prevent anyone getting hurt. At home, he’s a gentle giant, and loves to relax and snooze after his daily walk. Though not as cuddly as Zama, he still enjoys a cuddle when he can get one. I always thought that my bond with Azzy was as strong as it could be but a year and a few months ago I started agility with him. From day one, his love for agility shone and despite his nervous nature, he’s bravely faced every new obstacle thrown at him. He’s mastered every obstacle and is learning every command and combination of jumps and turns he can. We even started competitions this year but they’ve proved to be a bit overwhelming for him. Despite this, I have full faith that he’ll go far next year but even if he never wins a rosette, he’s already my champion boy. I love both of my dogs more than words can say.

Finally, someone who isn’t pictured here is dog dad Leon Avery. When I met him over a year ago, he’d never known dogs and I was concerned about him meeting them. Typically, upon meeting him Zama took to him immediately and was thriving off of all the cuddles. Azzy, also typically, took a while to warm up to Leon but even he started to learn to respect him. Through the year, Leon has loved and cared for our dogs like they were his own. He walked them, fed them, took them out to the garden, looked after them when I’m out of town and cuddles and cared for them. He’s been a better dog dad to Azzy and Zama than I could’ve ever hoped for.

As a walker, I will readily admit that not every day is smooth sailing. There are some days where dogs test my patience, where I don’t have the energy to keep going. There have been very tough times but through them all I’ve had these three. They have supported me through my toughest days and helped me get back on my feet again. I am the luckiest person on the planet to have them, my incredible little family. I love all three of you with all my heart. I can’t wait to spend the next year with you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤️🎄

Day 24! Just one more day to go! It also happens to me my birthday today and what better way to celebrate than to write about one of my favourite pups!

This little one is Cynthia, she’s a three year old Jackipoo. I first started walking Cynthia a little before she was a year old and I can remember just how energetic and excitable she was. She was constantly running around and playing with the other pups, and when there wasn’t anyone to play with, she was having zoomies! Since then, Cynthia has matured into quite the well behaved young lady. Like her name would suggests, she’s quite lady-like out on walks, from the way she walks, to the way she takes treats so gently. That being said, she has also developed quite a sassy nature too as she now expects the first class treatment out on walks. She huffs if she doesn’t get the front seat and likes to have her own space in the van. With all that said though, we absolutely adore having Cynthia on our walks. She’s so excited to go out, loves to either run around or walk and sniff at her own and she sleeps the whole way home in the van. It’s never a dull moment with Cynthia and I love how her face lights up when she’s getting attention. It’s impossible not to smile when you see her and we’re looking forward to another fantastic year of walks with Cynthia and everyone else! Merry Christmas Cynthia, hope you have a wonderful holiday 🐶🎄😊

Day 23 and just 2 more days to go until Christmas! For such an exciting time I thought I’d pick one of our most excitable dogs!

This little man is Bertie, a soon to be 2 year old cavapoo who will be celebrating his birthday on 1st January! Bertie is such a happy little dog, he wiggles so much whenever he’s getting attention and he loves nothing more than a cuddle. He’s very affectionate with his walkers and I don’t think we have a dog who’s more excited for their walks than him as he runs straight to me when he sees me with so much excitement! Also, when Bertie is dropped home, he usually turns back to me for another cuddle before I leave which is just so sweet as it’s like he’s saying a big enthusiastic thank you for his walks. Out and about, it’s not just people he loves as he’s very playful and loves having a play with the other dogs. He’s made lots of doggy friends through Waggy Walkers, particularly with other poodle crosses that are his size. Cynthia and Aero in particular are always up for a run around with Bertie. Surprisingly, Bertie is also a little bit protective of the people he loves as he sometimes feels he needs to stand up to other dogs who get too close. He’s never been a bully though and usually he’s respectful of the other dogs so we’ve never been concerned with how he behaves. Overall, walking Bertie is an absolute delight and it’s always such a joy to see him on a Friday so happy to see us. Can’t wait for another year of my little Bertie Boopers! Merry Christmas little Boop 🐶🎄😊

Day 22 and so close to Christmas now! On this lovely Friday it’s time to introduce Rufus!

Rufus is a 6 year-old cockapoo, and what a handsome young boy he is! Rufus has been with Waggy Walkers for quite a while and has been on so many of our walks, probably meeting every single dog we have in the process! Behaviourally, there’s not a lot to say about Rufus as he’s always been so well-mannered and obedient with us. He always does as he’s told and even when meeting other dogs he’s always had a very well-balanced mentality with them. He’s always pleasant to new dogs but he knows how to set boundaries when needed. He’s very good at assessing the situation and knowing what way to behave when he’s out and about. The only possible flaw that we can see with him is that Rufus can be quite a glutton! He’s always looking for food and he’s never afraid to ask for it, especially from strangers! So we need to keep an eye on him when we come across people, but even with his quirks he’s still a very easy dog to walk. We appreciate everything about Rufus, from his good nature and obedience to his love of cuddles and attention. We also love to see Rufus having a run around as he sometimes suffers with lameness in his legs and has to take it easy. We can tell if he’s having a tough time as he’s usually quite slow and reluctant to follow us. Luckily, through lots of rest and patience, we’re seeing a much more lively Rufus nowadays. We hope that next year he’s still full of beans and ready for some fun on his walks. Merry Christmas Rufus! 🐶🎄😊

Day 21 and for today we have the amazing Nora!

Nora is a 2 year old Border Terrier. Her owners had Waggy Walkers recommended to them by Harley’s owners. Nora was struggling with going out to dog friendly pubs with her owners as she would get quite reactive with other dogs. This was also the case when she would go out on walks. We discovered that Nora’s main concern seemed to be around seeing other dogs as competition for resources. We believed that if Nora started walking with a group that it would help her feel more comfortable around other dogs. This seemed to be exactly the case as she realised that her negative interactions wouldn’t make the other dogs go away since they were walking with her so she quickly learned that positivity was the way to go! We also started training Nora to see dogs in a more positive way by having her wait while another dog gets a treat before she gets one. In this way, she learned that other dogs getting food was a good thing as it meant food would be coming to her too. This technique really helped change Nora’s mind about other dogs and we’ve seen her make so many new friends since she joined us. She loves running around and chasing other little dogs, particularly terriers but it doesn’t stop her playing with dogs like Zama too. We are completely delighted with how Nora has turned herself around and now we barely see an ounce of reactivity in her. Not only that but her owners have since been able to take her out to lots of different pubs and always bringing back reports of great behaviour from Nora. They even took her on holiday to a dog hotel where she was in the restaurant everyday, sleeping in their hotel room at night and running around along the beach for her walks! We’re so glad we could help Nora and we look forward to seeing her next year for more successful walks. We wish you and your family the happiest of holidays Nora 🐶🎄😊

Day 20 of the Waggy Walkers advent calendar and time for another double dose of dogs!

These two are Waggy Walkers’ largest dogs! First up we have Bentley, the 3 year old Great Dane. This beautiful boy has been with Waggy Walkers for quite a while. From what I recall, he joined us because there weren’t many other dog walkers who could fit him in their vehicles at the time! Bentley immediately made friends with Azzy and Bruno upon joining our walks. He’s stayed on the same walk with the same dogs since he started so he knows he’ll always be out with his best friends. It was just the three boys for a while but eventually Rufus and Jumble both joined the walks. Most dogs start off quite intimidated by Bentley but Jumble took to him instantly and the two of them have been two peas in a pod ever since. Rufus on the other hand has learned to tolerate Bentley!

Next up, we have the gorgeous Saint Bernard, Luna! Like Bentley, Luna also intimidates other dogs with her size but this has taught them both to be wary and move slowly and carefully around other dogs. Luna has made loads of friends here at Waggy Walkers, especially my girl Zama. In fact, Luna joined us after her and her owner met me out on a walk and saw how much fun Luna had playing with my two dogs. After that, the rest is history as Luna quickly became one of the most loved dogs in Waggy Walkers, by the other dogs and the walkers. She has loads of fun chasing and wrestling with Zama and the others and gives the fluffiest cuddles to her walkers. Both of these gentle giants have a huge space in our hearts as they’re both so lovable and fun to be around. It’s never a dull moment with these two and one day we would love to walk them both together and see how they get on. Merry Christmas to you both! 🐶🎄😊
