“You’ve got your hands full.” “Who’s walking who?” “Who trained them for you?” — We’ve heard it all!

This is the reality of being a woman in the dog industry. You could have full control of multiple dogs walking in a perfect heel and still get comments about having your hands full.

You often also get questioned as to whether you’ll be capable of handling large powerful breeds, and even if you trained them yourself.

The irony is these people quite often have dogs causing absolute mayhem or choking themselves out on their leads 🥲

We are very proud of the fact that our team of trainers is predominantly made up of women, all of which have experience working with all sorts of breeds and handling multiple dogs at a time 💪🏻

Here’s to all the other strong women working in the dog industry proving these individuals wrong every day!

We hope you enjoy Jess and Pablo’s acting debut! 😂

Please give a warm Holistic Hounds welcome to Maddy and Ivy!

We've known Maddy and her Vizsla Ivy since around August 2023 as they have been clients of ours for some time now! She launched her own dog walking company back in 2024 and always said if we ever wanted someone to take on the dog walking, she would 100% be interested! Well with the team getting busier we really needed someone to be able to dedicate their time and energy into our dog walking clients and so Maddy is here to do exactly that!

Having had issues with dog reactivity with Ivy, Maddy has not only learnt a lot thanks to her but also done a lot of professional development in the form of online training through the IMDT as well as courses with other companies to expand her knowledge and skills. She will also be continuing her training with us so we can provide her with any continued training she needs to help with her new role with us!

She'll be starting to take on all of our dog walking clients as well as helping us to grow this side of the business with the knowledge and experience she has as well as continued support and training from our team!

Welcome to the team Maddy, we're so pleased to have you with us!

We're super excited to share that our wonderful Tony from Zoo Ost Ltd will be joining us for our Trust and Touch Workshop!

Having worked with Tony for many years now, we've seen first hand how beneficial Osteopathy has been especially for dogs who are touch sensitive. So when we were planning these workshops, we knew we wanted Tony involved as he has such a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as the understanding behind why what we do actually helps dogs feel more comfortable with touch long term.

He'll be on hand throughout the day offering advice and support and any treatments we think may be beneficial to help the dogs we work with to feel more comfortable and to help their bodies to adjust to touch in a more positive way!

If you want to join us on this workshop, be sure to book using the link below!

We asked a while ago what workshops our clients wanted and a FIRM ask was a workshop focussed on building confidence and comfort during touch work. So here it is - the first of our Trust and Touch workshops!

What is this workshop all about?
For dogs who struggle to feel comfortable being touched whether that is by random people, in certain areas or simply all of the above. This workshop will focus on confidence building, handling techniques, trust and relationship as well as different methods to help our dogs cope in more challenging situations when touch is needed for their welfare.

There are only 6 spots available so we can ensure each dog is given the appropriate amount of time and attention to be worked at their own pace and not rushed or over worked during the day. We'll be going over different techniques depending on what is the best method for the dog we are working with and discussing next steps for making things like vet visits and similar less stressful and more successful for everyone involved!

Open to anyone looking for support with their dogs touch work! If you aren't a current client of Holistic Hounds, please message a member of the team so we can discuss your needs prior to the workshop.

The finer details:
Where: Mortimer (final location TBC)
Timings: 9am - 5pm with a 1 hour lunch break (a light lunch will be provided along with refreshments)
Price: £120 per dog

Bookings are now available on our website using the link below!
