Fun with Fido

***It's been 2 years since we've had any spaces available***

I offer a bespoke 1:1 Dog Walking and Pop In Service.

I am a fully qualified professional who specialises in dogs who may struggle with some aspects of a human world, but I'm proud to offer a service where a variety of dogs needs are catered for.

I currently have a space Monday to Friday (between 11am and 1pm) available for booking.

If you are looking for a compassionate, ethical and reliable professional to take care of your dogs needs when you are busy then please reach out.

We have been pretty quiet as we have been lucly enough to be fully booked.

However we have some space available coming up.

We have a morning space and an afternoon space.

Please do message us if you are looking for an individual dog walk, with a qualified professional, where your dogs individual needs are my priority.

Compassionate, reliable, DBS checked and fully insured service.

Everyone deserves a pleasurable walk.

I don't believe people set out on a walk to have a terrible time, however, I do know and I work with many people where there is an element of dread and worry every day.

I'm seeing a lot of videos posted by Bully owners at the minute showing how their dog is on a lead and minding their own business and another dog comes running over barking at them, because the off lead dog is either scared or trying to initiate play.

Now, sadly whilst the message is good from these people, the ex*****on of delivering the message for me often isn't helpful with a lot of swearing and peacocking about the " control" they have over thier dog, but I do whole heartedly agree with the core message.

For guardians who's dogs are scared, worried, or struggle with arousal and frustrations, a dog running over can be a nightmare and have long lasting emotional damage in some cases, they don't just get over it.

For people who have been bitten by a dog it can be traumatic seeing a dog run at you.

It's even more scary when you can see the person is unable to call their dog back or doesn't even try and starts with the excuses.

AND ITS ACTUALLY AGAINST THE LAW!

I don't believe in little robot dogs, but I do believe in responsible dog guardianship.

Whether in law your an owner or a temporary caregiver like a dog walker for example we all have our part to play.

I've experienced it myself, the " it's OK he is just nervous"....NO actually, its not OK he is off lead and nervous and shouting in my dogs faces.

"It's OK he is freindly".....No, its not OK, my dog doesn't like strangers invading his space, he wants to be left alone.

How would you feel walking through town and random strangers start coming up and shouting in your face IM SCARED, or hugging you......it would freak you out I'm sure!!

Now on the flip side, if you have a dog that you know struggles, be sensible, don't go to places where your will struggle.

Covering your dog in yellow anxious equipment and then taking them to a well known off lead dog areas or pubs is YOU setting your dog up to fail.

BUT....for the love of dog, be responsible, use longlines and work with a professional on your recall.

Hire secure fields if you want free running time for your dog.

BUT too many walks are ruined for ALL INVOLVED by poor human choices and its not OK to possibly traumatise a dog or person just to ensure your dog gets their off lead time and burns off the energy to give some peace and quiet.

Let's make good choices so everyone feels safe!

Pain and Exercise

Did you know many dogs mask pain.

That funny walk, that little hop, that getting up slowly are all signs that dogs hurt, they just tend not to be very very vocal until it's unbearable, but the signs are there.

That dog who has shoulder or hip pain is very likely to still run and chase a ball, because adrenaline can mask pain, but how does that dog feel after the adrenaline wears off?

Sore? irritable? depressed?

My job as a responsible professional is to ensure the activities I offer dogs are appropriate both physically and mentally for each individual dog.

Fun with Fido is far more than just a walking service, we really do care about your dog's needs.

Another beautiful boy that I have the pleasure of spending time with.

Initially he was a little shy as new people can be a little worrying.

Over a few introductory sessions I just let him have choice and make all the moves towards me, no pressure from me to touch him , i just hung out and things went at his pace.

Now I get the most gorgeous welcome when I visit.

I tailor our walks so he doesn't come face to face with anyone who might be a worry and he has full trust in me.

The end of our sessions always involve a treat search in the garden 🥰

I love the one one-on-one time I share with your dogs.

I get to go places and do things your dog likes and enjoys.

I can avoid the things the dog I am with might not want to engage in.

The joy of offering a specialised service is the benefits it has for each dog and how it enhances the time I have with them 🥰

We've been a bit quiet in here recently.

The hot weather had meant we have been implementing enrichment and puzzle games over walks in the heat.

We've welcomed a few new beauties to the Fun with Fido Family and here is the first.

Puppy pop in's for this little sweetheart and a walk for her handsome brother ❤️

People use a lot of clever slogans for marketing etc, that's good business.

But here at FWF we genuinely just want to get the message across that we are honest, reliable, professional and most importantly CARE.

As a dog guardian myself I really worry if I need someone to look after my own dogs, they are my world and trusting someone in scary.

My services are solely based around YOUR needs, I don't walk dogs with other clients dogs.

I tailor the type of walk or time spent to individually suit yours and your dog's requirements.

If you want your pet to cared for and not just walked then we might just be the right fit for you.

Please do reach out and book a FREE Meet and Greet.

Dogs are sentient beings with different likes and dislikes.

That's why every clients dog is treated like the individual they are.

Do they feel happy around people and dogs, if not, no problem we will select quiet locations.

Are they happy amd safe off lead, great we will find safe spaces for them to enjoy some off lead time.

Are they anxious about the world, no problem we can implement at home activities to keep them mentally stimulated and build confidence.

Yes we could make more money walking 2-3 dogs and once, and for some dogs they might cope well and enjoy that, but for the many dogs that don't or are happier with some one on one attention, Fun with Fido can help.

Fun with Fido tailors our time to your dogs specific needs.

If you want to find out more please do reach out.

We offer a FREE Meet and Greet Session to new clients.

If our only goal when we take our dogs out is to physically tire them out then we are looking at it all wrong.

There is so much more to being outside.

Slowing down ( not easy with some dogs but it can be done), not caring about a route or distance, choices, smells, who cares if you only make it to the end of the street in half an hour because Fido has been sniffing everything, this is THIER time.

Just sitting and being outside somewhere quiet is massively underrated.

Yes, this is coming from someone who Breeds working high energy siberians....and yet still we do A LOT of low arousal activities.

My goal is to meet thier needs both physically, emotionally and mentally, not just tire them out because I want a peaceful evening or I am leaving them to go out.

Is it any wonder so many dogs go nuts when they go out when often going out is only paired with high arousal activities and behaviour.

A content dog does not always just mean a physically exhausted dog.

Ummmm yes we do get to hang out with handsome boys like this !!

Today was a ' Hang at home' Session for this lovely boy.

We played, had some goodies, some medication hidden in goodies lol and special ball time and then chilled out before it was time to say " see you tomorrow "

The power of sniffing

Sniffing is so powerful, it gives our dogs so much information.

It has huge physical benefits it helps the dog to relax and also is way more tiring then most people imagine and fulfils species appropriate needs.

A good sniffy walk has so many wonderful benefits I love them ❤️
