From a retired police officer to your dogs best friend, experience you can trust.
Professional dog walking, training, and pet care with experience, structure, and care at the heart of every service.
About me
I am a retired police officer with over 10 years of experience working alongside highly trained police dogs, as well as training and working gun dogs.
I now offer professional dog walking, training, and pet care services built on a strong understanding of canine behaviour, discipline, and communication.
My experience has given me the skills to work confidently with dogs of all temperaments and abilities.
I focus on obedience, behavioural improvement, and structured enrichment tailored to each individual dog. My aim is to help dogs become calm, balanced, and well-mannered companions, while giving owners complete peace of mind.
Services
Before any service begins, an initial meet and greet will be arranged to get to know you and your dog, discuss their individual needs, and ensure they feel comfortable and settled. My priority is to provide a safe, calm, and positive experience for every pet in my care. For safety and comfort, all dogs are transported in secure, approved travel cages.
Dog walking
I specialise in solo dog walks, allowing me to give your dog my full attention, consistent handling, and a calm, structured experience tailored to their individual needs.
Walks take place in a variety of stimulating locations to keep them enjoyable and engaging for your dog. Where necessary, I can also use secure dog walking fields for added safety and freedom.
Small group walks may be available for suitable dogs, with a maximum of three dogs per walk, depending on temperament and compatibility.
Dog training

"There are very, very few people we would trust to understand and care for them and Di is at the top of that list. Not only does she adapt to their individual needs, she has also managed to incorporate training into the walks - which has been hugely beneficial for our younger nervous dog."
German Shepard owner
Having Di look after our animals whilst on holiday gave us a relaxing break. Walking the dogs, feeding the horses and putting them in and out, and even feeding the sheep. She took care of all our animals as if they were her own. Reliable, punctual and super tidy. I would highly recommend her services.
Small holding owner
When you have a dog who is frightened of almost everything, finding someone you can genuinely trust with her is amazing, and we’ve found that in Di. She’s ace!
