Your dog deserves a walk that's actually good for them and not a quick loop around the block. A proper outing with real exercise, time to explore and sniff, the kind of steady, calm handling that leaves a dog genuinely satisfied. I believe a dog needs at least an hour to get this which is why every walk I offer is an hour.

I shared thirteen years with a wonderful red Setter named Mozart and, over the years, I've cared for other dogs and cats and rescued a fair number as well. I know dogs, I can always figure out what motivates them.

There's nothing better than a well mannered dog with solid recall who can be let off the lead to really stretch out and explore and that's the kind of walk I love giving. But I'll always follow your lead on this and if you tell me your dog can't be trusted off the lead, then they stay on.

I'll only ever walk dogs together if they're from the same household, or once I've had the chance to get to know them and I'm confident they'd genuinely get along. Even then, I'll only take up to three dogs at most. Otherwise, I keep walks one dog at a time.

I'm a mature student reading philosophy now and I'm free all summer and able to take regular slots. Therefore, I can offer the kind of consistency that's good for a dog, a routine they can rely on. 

If cost is a concern, please talk to me. I'd rather work something out than cut a walk short.
