"Why would you use a Dog Walker?"

 

I know we all love to walk our dogs, but with modern hectic lifestyles it is becoming ever more difficult to give them the exercise they both need and deserve. That’s where Hadwell Hounds come in.

 

As you are no doubt aware dogs are pack animals, which means they need to exercise and mix with other dogs. If left alone for long periods of time a dog will become bored, and may also become anxious.

Boredom can lead to scratched and chewed furniture, shredded carpets, or worse.

 

Extended periods of anxiety can lead to your dog developing behavioural problems.

 

If you are working full-time or have a family to take care of, it's almost impossible to find enough time for your dog each day.

 

I will try to tailor my walks to your dog's individual personality. For some it's meeting new faces with waggy tails and others it's nose led country exploration. I also try and manage the walk timetable to ensure they get to walk with their new best friends. This means you come home to a very happy and content dog.

 

Hadwell Hounds service agreement tells you exactly what to expect - so you can relax knowing I really take good care of your dog.

I am fully insured, providing you with peace of mind and ensuring that, in the unlikely event that anything should occur in my care, your pet is fully covered.

 

 

“I'd be very pleased to come and meet you”

 

You wouldn't hand over anything precious to a complete stranger, so it is very important that you meet, chat and are happy with the person who walks your dog.

 

The consultation, which normally takes about 30 minutes, is where I introduce myself and we can chat about how I can meet the needs of you and your pet. I also get to meet your wet-nosed companion and confirm that we are going to be good friends!

 

Then there is just the small matter of paperwork… The Service Agreement lays out both parties' responsibilities so that you know exactly what to expect. I also need to make a note of the key information about your animal(s) and your vet.

 

I will then normally leave the paperwork with you and take your dog on a trial walk at another time with the pack or on their own and once everyone is happy then we can both sign the agreement.

 

 

 

“I would strongly recommend this company to anyone. Although newly established, Lloyd has many years of experience looking after animals and is passionate about what he does. He's looked after my cocker spaniel (Toby) on many occasions and I feel very comfortable leaving him with Lloyd knowing he is in safe hands!"

Simon Woodfield, Toby's Owner
