Walk This Way Dogs NI Dog Training and Behaviour
Dog Walking (Group and/or Solo walks) Welcome to Walk This Way Dogs NI! Big dogs, small dogs - everyone is welcome! So what do I offer?

I’m Rachael and I specialise in dogs🧡

Based in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, I am a Trainer and Canine Behaviour Psychologist with an unabashed passion for our hairy friends. Walk This Way Dogs NI is committed to providing effective, enjoyable and convenient solutions to your dog-walking and dog-training/behaviour needs providing peace of mind and a well-behaved, content and happy dog. Walk Th

is Way Dogs NI customises its services to put the needs of you and your dog first. I have over 30 years experience with larger breeds, particularly German Shepherds (my passion), as well as medium and small breeds. No matter what their size, my philosophy is the same

"There is nothing truer in this world than the love of a good dog"

Let me help you strengthen and improve the relationship between you and your dog with kindness and compassion, reward-based, fear-free training and behavioural help. I hold accredited Diplomas in Dog Training, and Canine Behaviour Psychology and I’m currently studying and working towards my certified Behaviourist qualification. I am a member of the Professional Dog Walkers Association (who are advisors to the Canine and Feline Sector Group) and the International Alliance of Holistic Therapists. Police CRB checked, fully insured, canine first aid trained and committed to continuing education and professional development through study, training courses and keeping up-to-date on the latest techniques and scientific findings. I lost my lovely big poster girl, Gypsy in May 2024. She didn’t do too badly at 12 and a half! She was my expert consultant on all things canine and the reason I set up in 2018 so much was my desire to give her a life fulfilled and to know love, right by my side. She was and always will be the Chief Executive Officer! Her last official “job” was to impart her mellow, loving and solid temperament on my 4th German Shepherd rescue, Roxy and the whirlwind that is a highly energetic and intelligent young GSD! She did that alright. It is my privilege to guide Roxy through her life and help her make the right choices. Far from perfect, but we are learning and growing every day! And I think it’s ok to say that I am exceptionally proud of my funny, affectionate little girl and how far she has come so far. First of all, peace of mind. Rest assured that whilst in my care on a structured group walk, your dog will be exceptionally well looked after, receive all the attention and enrichment they need, treated like my own…..and it will be a lot of fun too! But also, the knowledge that you are not on your own. I am here to support you and your dog through the sometimes challenging and frustrating behaviour problems that can crop up, whether that is reactivity or simply good manners and life skills. Walk This Way Dogs NI is here to help. Please get in touch if you need some help or advice! Rachael and Roxy

Dog School🐕 Axel is his name🖤🤍 He's a stunning little Siberian Husky and he's a whole 12 weeks old🥰 You're not supposed to stare at puppies or doggos, but it's really hard with this one and those eyes of his!!💙

He's only been home a couple of weeks and doing great🎉 Smashing his potty-training (thanks to good breeders who started him off🙏🏻) and he's almost ready to hit the streets! His Dad dotes on him and is working away with him, but he's not so fond of the biting and the shoe attacks🦈😖

We also talked about his socialisation and some crate training too🙌 It's SO useful for so many things but Axel also needs his own comfortable, safe space that he can go to when he needs to or if he's feeling anxious about Dad not being in the room💯

What a cracking wee pupper he is! And a huge amount of fun to work with.... if you can stop staring at him for long enough!😉😂💙

Good boy Axel🐶

Dog School🐕 Itsy bitsy teeny weeny baby puppy Betsy🖤 is a 20 week old Yorkshire Terrier🥰 ...still to grow into her ears. She really is tiny, but that personality of hers is huge and she's a big entertainer!🎭

Mum dotes on her, and she's doing great!👏 Although potty-training is challenging😯 Once they've had a few accidents inside it's fatal! Away they go, back to that same spot over&over🤦🏼‍♀️ Then there's the horrible crate that, to her, means Mum is going out and leaving her😥 And she also thinks it's a cool game to run off when mum calls her🏃🏼‍♀️

Learning and development are so fast when they're very young and training isn't difficult, it just needs to be consistent💯 The crate training will take a wee while because she's already got a wee negative association there so it's baby steps😍 But when I caught up with Mum earlier this week, she was thrilled that Miss Betsy is going in and out of it by choice now🙌 ...she's smashed the toileting, and the recall practice is working an absolute treat!🏆 Bright as a wee button so she is!🌟

Good girl Betsy🐶

Dog School🐕 This gorgeous big face belongs to Odin🖤 and he's a 2 (and a bit) year old, Black Labrador🥰 Hairs like silk and the biggest dote! Mum&Dad adopted him just over a month ago and adore the bones of him!🏆Still in his settling in period but he's doing great so far🤩

Indoors, no big issues🙌 Outdoors? Different story🙈 Dad thinks he didn't get many adventures or even block walks his wee pads were so soft🥹 He doesn't know how to walk on-lead, and he's a very strong boy! He gets that excited about everybody&everything recall goes out the window too! He's absolutely loving it all😂, but his over-excitement makes it a bit of a challenge!🐕‍🦺

Delighted to be helping this lovely young man and his pawrents, and boy did we laugh teaching him some exercises at home!?🤭 Zoomies! That's all I'm saying😂 but despite that he learnt fast🌟 Out on the mean streets of Carrick, we (the hoomans) worked hard getting the walking basics sorted and calming those emotions💯 How they walk is massively about what we do and the choices we give them as much as it is about them 'learning'- it's teamwork👌 The smiles on Mum&Dad's faces when he connected...priceless🥰

Brilliant start pups!🎉 You couldn't have done better!🥇

Good boy Odin🐶
