Optimistic Dogs

Optimistic Dogs - Dog Walking Service in Grove Park, London

All breeds and all ages are welcome. I am happy walking on and off lead (off lead will be once I feel confident we have built up a strong bond and only with your written consent).

I walk in woods, fields, and parks, sometimes if time allows, I will go to the coast for special days out providing I have extra help and sometimes I will use secure fields. No walk is the same.

Please note that my own dogs Tilly, Marley and Izzy will join me on my daily group walks if it is suitable. Each bring their skill set to the group. Marley is a all rounder and loves the larger breeds she enjoys playing but is quite happy, Tilly likes to chase and play ball and is great for the less confident dog. Izzy is a stooge dog as she doesn’t bother with other dogs and does her own thing, she is great for teaching dogs to ignore other dogs and just do their own thing. They all pick up on other dogs emotions and welcome everyone into their gang with open paws.

Please note that any training undertaken on walks will be basic training as I will be caring for other dogs as well and each and everyone is just as important as the next. My eyes and ears need to be always on every dog. Therefore, if you have any specific training requirements, please contact Optimistic Dogs – Dog Training to organise a 1-1 training consultation.

The Benefits of working with me
I am a strong advocate of only kind and fair methods so when in my care the dogs and animals can be certain there will be NO pain, No Force and No Fear! I am a proud member of PPF - link here and everything I do is positive and reward based.

I have several qualifications including Pet First Aid. I always keep my knowledge refreshed as it is very important to stay up to date.  I am also Police Checked (DBS Cleared).

My car is kitted out with Trans K9 Crate for transport and is always locked during my drive. *Please note I am currently looking for an automatic van and on a wait list for when one comes in stock. *

All clients house keys are unidentifiable to anyone outside Optimistic Dogs Dog Walking and kept locked in a safe when not in use.
