I love these photos I just got.

A huge round of applause for Ester, Rubble, Sheba and Tess (in what was her 1st ever race - little legend she is) . 👏🐾

What an incredible way to finish the Canicross season, at the awesome Glamis Castle, a few weeks ago.

Four amazing dogs who gave their all, ran their hearts out, and reminded me why I love this sport.

True champions, every one of them. 🐾🔥

🐾 Supporting Local Scottish Businesses 🐾

So I am incredibly fussy about what I feed my dogs. I won’t feed just any dog food , I want to know that the company genuinely cares about dogs, their welfare, and the quality of what goes into every bag.

That’s why I wanted to give a shout-out to Rùn®- Cold Pressed Dog Food, a fellow Scottish business that I’m proud to support.

Whenever possible, I think it’s important to support local businesses and put our money back into Scottish companies that are passionate about what they do.
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and it’s great to see Scottish brands producing products that genuinely put quality first.

Their cold-pressed food is made with quality ingredients and backed by nutritional research, ensuring dogs get the nutrition they need rather than simply what’s cheapest to produce. For active dogs like Ester and Rubble, who cover plenty of miles every week, good nutrition isn’t optional…it’s essential.

What really stood out to me was the support I received when switching Ester over. Lucy from Run Dog Food was absolutely fantastic. We had lots of chats and phone calls to make sure her nutrition was spot on and that she was getting exactly what she needed as she is difficult to get the weight correct and fussy. That level of personal service is hard to find these days, and it showed me that this is a company that genuinely cares about the dogs, not just selling dog food.

One of the things I particularly love is that dogs aren’t treated as just another number. There is a real passion for canine health and wellbeing behind everything they do, and that shows in the products they produce.

Their energy bars are fantastic for active dogs too. Whether your dog enjoys canicross, agility, hiking, working days, dog shows, or simply joins you on big adventures, they are a great way to help keep energy levels up during long and demanding days.

And let’s not forget the treats, High-quality, tasty, and perfect for training sessions or rewarding your dog.

Today was Cooper’s last day with Solo Walkies, and I’m not going to lie, I’m going to miss him.

From the face washes he always made sure I got to his gentle, loving nature, it has been an absolute pleasure spending time with such a lovely, soft boy. He’s been a special part of my days, and it won’t be quite the same without him.

Wishing you all the luck in the world on your next adventures, Cooper.

Thank you for all the memories, the cuddles, and the smiles ❤️🐾

You’ll be missed more than you know. 🥕

“Why don’t you offer training walks?”

I have recently been asked this. My answer is simple.

Because I’m a dog walker…..NOT a dog trainer.

And there’s a difference.

Far too many people in the dog industry offer “training walks/ dog training ” without holding formal training qualifications.
Just because someone walks dogs doesn’t mean they are qualified to modify behaviour or provide training advice.

Dog training should be backed by education, recognised qualifications, and a thorough understanding of canine behaviour & welfare and knowledge like that takes a minimum 2 years to study (4 year university degree to become a behaviourist)

Before asking someone to “train” your dog, ask:

✓ What formal qualifications do you hold?

(a certificate from a weekend workshop does not make you a dog trainer)

✓ What behaviour and training courses have you completed?

✓ How do you keep your knowledge up to date?

✓ Can you provide evidence of your education?

Social media followers are not qualifications.
Owning dogs is not a qualification.
Walking dogs is not a qualification.
Your dog deserves more than opinions.

Your dog deserves a properly qualified professional.

As a dog walker, I know my role.

I focus on providing safe, professional exercise, enrichment, and care. I continually invest in qualifications that are relevant to dog walking and canine welfare, and I undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to ensure I’m offering the highest standard of service possible.

I believe in staying within my area of expertise and being honest about what I do and don’t offer.

Your dog deserves a professional who is committed to learning, developing, and maintaining high standards, you are paying for a professional service , so you should get one.

I reinforce good manners and routines, but I don’t sell training services I’m not formally qualified to provide.

Professional standards matter.

Know the difference.

I first came across TRAILBREEZE ™ | RUN. HIKE. LIVE. FEEL THE BREEZE through running and bought a long-sleeved top, a few t-shirts and a hoodie. The comfort and quality immediately stood out, and I quickly became a fan of their gear.

Through their collaboration with the British SledDog Sports Federation (The BSSF ), I ended up adding even more Trail Breeze kit to my collection and recently discovered they offer personalised clothing too.

That was all the excuse I needed!

As someone who spends four days a week walking and running dogs all day for work, comfort is essential.

Thanks to Trail Breeze, I’m now kitted out with personalised t-shirts, a hoodie, a long-sleeved top and a waterproof cap that will keep me comfortable whatever the day brings.

A huge thank you to Trail Breeze⁠ for the fantastic service, quality products and for creating personalised kit that looks great and feels even better.

It’s safe to say I’m becoming slightly addicted to their clothing! 😅

🐾 Solo Walkies – Limited Spaces Available 🐾

I currently have 1 space become available on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for Dog Walking.

When you’re choosing someone to walk your dog, you’re trusting them with a member of your family. That’s why experience matters.

I’ve been handling dogs for over 25 years, including volunteering with dog rescue organisations, exhibiting dogs, and actively competing and participating in sled dog sports.

Dogs aren’t just my job – are huge part of my life.

Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, needs confidence building, fitness work, enrichment, or simply a fun adventure while you’re at work, every walk is tailored to the individual dog.

I take the time to get to know their personality, likes, dislikes and what makes them happiest.

My walks focus on:

🐾 Safety and control
🐾 Mental stimulation and enrichment
🐾 Building confidence
🐾 Fitness and exercise appropriate to the dog
🐾 Fun, adventure and plenty of sniffing opportunities

If you’re looking for someone with a genuine passion for dogs and years of hands-on experience, get in touch.

I also offer pet drops in, cat checks etc and have space available.
