There are many reasons to use a dog walker; you may be out at work all day, temporarily
unwell or unfit, or elderly and love the companionship of your dog but feel unable
to offer them the exercise they really need; these are just a few of the reasons.
Dogs left at home alone for long periods, or dogs who don't get enough exercise,
can start to show unwanted behaviours such as barking constantly or chewing furniture
and other items. Some dogs go on to develop separation anxiety, or simply get very
lonely. Wouldn't you if you were home alone 5 days a week?
danielsdogs was set up to provide the sort of Professional Dog Walking Service that
I would want for my own dogs. If I am going to let someone take my dog for a walk,
I need to completely trust that they will do their utmost to ensure his well being,
safety, health and happiness, and this is what I offer for your dogs.
Here in this house.....
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out
there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,
And be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!
Here in this house...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.
Here in this house...
I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
Knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be
of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not
cute enough.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as
dogs.
Here in this house...
I will belong.
I will be home.

I have owned and cared for dogs from a very early age, and have experience with
a wide range of breeds, and particularly rescue dogs. I have certificates in Caring
for the Family Dog, Canine First Aid and a Pet Sitters Certificate, all accredited
courses from a leading animal care college.
I am currently studying for a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training. I have previously
done voluntary dog walking for a dog rescue centre, and assisted at puppy, junior
and adult dog training classes. I am also training to become a Tellington Touch
practitioner (see the links page for a link to Tellington Touch – a very kind and
gentle yet extremely effective approach to animal training and behaviour problems).
I am currently training both my dogs to competitive level in Obedience, Rally and
Agility.
You are welcome to check out my insurance, police checks, qualifications and references.
