About Matt

I offer friendly, reliable dog walking with a lot of patience and understanding for dogs that may be nervous, reactive or just need a bit more time to feel comfortable. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I now have two rescued dogs of my own, a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd mix, so I know that every dog has their own personality, fears and pace. 

I am currently training in counselling, which has strengthened my calm and non-judgemental approach. If you feel worried or embarrassed about your dog’s behaviour, please don’t. I understand that dogs can be scared, overwhelmed or still learning, and I will approach both you and your dog with patience and understanding. 

My own rescue dogs used to pull and bark a lot, and helping them improve has been a long process. With time, consistency and patience, they now have a really good success rate walking past other dogs without barking. I get that other people can sometimes be judgemental with bigger dogs but I know they are doing their best especially when some training takes years and small steps.

I am a big guy, so I am comfortable handling larger dogs as well as dogs that are strong on the lead. I am also understanding if a dog barks, growls or has even bitten out of fear, and I always try to approach dogs with respect for their boundaries.

I can also offer home visits if you’d like your dog to practise someone knocking on the door and coming into the home. 

Regardless of a dog recall all walks will be on lead.

I do not currently offer boarding. Nor am I able to sit overnight (due to my own dogs.)

Please note: I am unavailable on Thursdays.
