All about Go Walk

Hello, I’m Tracy, a wife, a mother, awesome dog befriend-er, canoeing and hiking enthusiast. I have creativity, knowledge and practical experience of how to engage, woo and delight your pet. I have a keen interest in animal training and handling, working with clicker and reward based positive reinforcement. I have used this to teach various canines throughout the years and also small birds, whom I taught recall flying and object identification. With my current dog (18 month old American Akita) I am teaching her some ‘mirroring’ methods, it provides excellent mental stimulation as well as bond building.

I am very good at picking up on animals body language, this is important as it can give vital clues to health and mental states. I have also worked as a veterinary nurse for JJ M’c Kee in Glasgow. I have gained skills over the years in handling various species from snakes and lizards, birds, small furries to large dogs. I have also proven to be capable of working with all types of people, and enjoy tackling all sorts of challenges.

Something else

I have grown up with dogs, they are part of the family, we only have them in our lives for a short time that is to be treasured. Last year we lost our darling bullmastiff Kadie to lymphoma.She was a huge character, we rescued her at 4 yrs old and she survived a pyometra, and breast cancer before the lymphoma sadly was too much and we had to make a difficult choice to let her go. I decided life is too short, I needed to escape from the traditional, nine to five day job to find peace, joy and fitness by starting my own dog walking and training business.

Peace of Mind

I have passed a Puppies and Dogs First Aid course with a Higher Distinction CPD level three. I hope never to have to use it, but in case of emergencies then I am prepared. I hold a Disclosure Scotland, Enhanced Disclosure Certificate to show I have been police checked and have no criminal convictions. I also hold a diploma in Canine Communication, have completed Edinburgh University and the Royal Dick Vet School course in Animal Communication and Welfare. Dr Ian Dunbar Sirius Dog Training four day seminar and puppy class training. I am continually learning new ways of making effective and force free training that use both positive and science based techniques.

Dog Walking

I specialise in bespoke cost effective, solutions to your pet care requirements.

Both walking and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Dogs are an important part of the family, and need good quality care for when you cannot be there yourself.

Team this with the growing obesity problem in dogs that we are all being aware of, additional walks can ensure your dog gets the exercise they need, or provide stimulation when you are out at work all day. I want to provide a modern solution to this problem by offering tracked dog walks that can then be used to chart your dog’s progress, fitness and tailor their diet accordingly.

Think of it as fitbit for pets. Reports show the length of walk, the location, the time taken, you can even live track walks via the walkers GPS location device. Daily reports – include places walked, dogs encountered, playmates found, training tasks, etc. The GPS location route will be viewable via a private link… sent directly to your phone so you can browse when convienient your pet’s progress. Regular clients enjoy daily digital images of their pets having fun included in the walking fee.
