When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, aged 6, I confidently replied “Something with dogs Mummy”. At the time, I was sharing my life with Snoopy, a Standard Poodle, and Tessa, a working Flat Coated Retriever. 

​

Between then and now, I’ve had some great roles in companies we all know: Porsche, Sainsbury’s, Prudential, John Lewis, running the gambit from Customer Service and Administration roles to Global Sales Management. 

​

But that original dream never died. After being made redundant in 2008, and with two Lurchers and a Saluki at home, I started my first Dog Walking business, Country Tails, and worked part-time at a dog day care facility. My interest in behavior, training and dog nutrition bloomed. My obsession was reignited! I learnt so much about behaviour by watching interactions and learning from my behaviourist boss.

​

Fast forward a few years and in early 2016 I opened a franchised dog daycare facility, which sadly closed when the franchisor was unable to maintain their contract. But that didn’t stand in my way. My clients wanted their dogs to continue to be socialized and exercised, and The Dog Walker’s Club was born.

 

Our ongoing mission is to make your dogs happy, well-socialised, stimulated and, at the end of each day, tired and content.
