The Hairy Hikers Est in 2014 the Hary Hikers are a small Dog walking, Dog Training and pet sitting business based in teesside. Hi, I’m Ashleigh!

With over 12 years of experience working with and handling dogs, 10 years with my own bussiness and an extra 2 years in a boarding kennels. I’m a dedicated dog walker and certified dog trainer with over a decade of experience working with dogs. Since 2012, I’ve worked in a boarding kennels gaining plenty of handling and body language experience of many breeds big and small, from there I opened up

my Dog walking and Training business and have been helping dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships through training, exercise, and care. Dogs aren’t just a job for me—they’re my life and my passion. Whether it's a playful pup in need of daily exercise, or a dog facing behavioral challenges, I’m committed to providing compassionate, personalized solutions that help both you and your furry friend thrive. I believe that a well-bonded relationship between a dog and their owner is the foundation for a happy, healthy life. Through patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of dog behavior, I work to create lasting improvements that make life easier for you and your dog. If you're looking for a friendly, professional, and dedicated dog care partner, I’d love to help you and your dog succeed!

Our first week back into the New Year. It's certainly been a chilly one! So with that in mind I haven't taken very many photos this week and I'd have frozen fingers if it wasnt for my little hand warmer.

The best bonfire night we have ever had!!. Bailey has been so chilled all night. We've had the African drums playing on alexa since before the fireworks even started and calming games throughout the evening to help keep her settled.

I hope all your dogs managed to settle tonight too.

Day 2 of the practical skills is officially over. I'm rather bummed about that they are just so fun!
I was so invested in today's classes I hardly took any photos honestly I'm just amazed I got any all weekend!
So here is a video of B getting some Laura love while we trainers were set to doing our own mental task. Picking apart Labelling our dogs behaviours.

Im back again! This time I brought Old Biddy Bailey. Day 1 of the DTC Practical workshop and what a fantastic day!
At the practical workshops we get learn from 4 Fantastic trainers who I definitely fangirled over a little. (Shh dont tell them they may get big heads. Especially that Laura!) Catch up with with other DTC students that have become great friends. Refine and learn new handling skills to ensure we are giving your dogs the best.
And my favourite part cuddle and make friends with lots of dogs.

Last time I came here I brought Echo who is very eager and quick to learn. So this time I wanted to show that you certainly can teach and old dog new tricks as Bailey fast approaches her 12th trip around the sun (😭) but she's smashing it!

Now for a good night's sleep in the hotel after a very busy day ready for round 2 tomorrow!

Had a great day even with todays weather. I got to wear the tent so I'm bone dry and cosy warm while the dogs where living their best life.

Overall it's a soggy doggy day and we were loving it.

Sam got his toes wet. Then we spent all of 10 seconds playing fetch because he likes to chase the stick then chew it up.

Beautiful day for our walk today hoping some of Breaghas manners will rub off on Ziggys adolescent mind

Way too hot to be doing our usual walks and it's only 10 am!! Taking it real steady today plenty of shade by a nice little steam and lots of sniffy games to help burn off energy.

So yesterday I got to Megs walk to realise Bailey had stolen the ball out of my coat pocket 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I pulled out the sniffing games. Does this mean Meg was getting less exercise? Not at all. Infact quite the opposite sniffing uses more energy than running/walking. Some benefits of scent games: 🐾 Mentally stimulating. 🐾Physically stimulating. 🐾Low impact. 🐾20 minutes of sniffing is the equivalent of 60 minutes walking. 🐾Sniffing triggers the release of endorphins, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters that induce feelings of pleasure and relaxation in dogs. 🐾Brings down their stress and anxiety levels.

Safe to say today was a wet one. I think only Benji boy enjoyed the walk and everyone was stuck on lead. Even had to poor the water put of our boots afterwards 😂

I don't feel any body could ever make a video that captures a dogs cheekiness as much as this.. I love it!

How could I capture Megs personality.... like this! So after spending a small fortune on toys to help enrich and burn some of the abundance of energy this little lady has it's safe to say I finally won. Yesterday I pulled out the tug-e-nuff toys and its safe to say that the score was: tug-e-nuff 1 Meg 0.

Uh oh that cold white stuffs back!! Ida clearly hated the stuff. #snow #dogwalkerslife #dogsofinstagram

Nice chilled Fridays and Rosie tiny twigs. No legs were battered because Rosie is possibly the only considerate dog we have when it comes to beating us up 😂 #lablove #dogwalk #dogwalkerslife
