What Our Clients Say

"Matt has been walking our 11-month-old wirehaired Vizsla, Mika, once a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the difference it has made. Mika is a high-energy breed, and Matt’s structured walks, which include training throughout the session, have made a huge impact on her recall and general obedience. She absolutely loves her time with him, and it’s clear that he really understands dogs and how to work with them in a calm, effective way. We’ve seen a real improvement in her behaviour, and it’s been a big help to us as owners. We highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring dog walker. He’s been fantastic.”

"We have been using Matt to walk our black Labrador who can sometimes be a bit reactive with other dogs for just over a year now. Matt has worked really hard with Squire to keep him calm and encourage him to ‘ignore’ other dogs if he’s not in the mood. It is very rare now that he reacts so it’s a pleasure to take him out, thanks Matt for being so conscientious 😊"

"Cooper loves his walks with Matt and always comes back a tired, happy boy! The training on his walks has really improved Cooper's manners and behaviour, even through his teenage stage."

"Matt has done an amazing job with our springer spaniel, she gets so excited when he arrives at the house to pick her up. Since he started doing weekly walks with her, her on-lead skills have massively improved, she’s grown more confident around other dogs and she seems to really love her time with him."
