Gwynedd Dog Walking

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FOR DOG OWNERS IN NORTH WALES

Whether you’re busy at work or perhaps too frail to walk your dog sufficiently, Gwynedd Dog Walking is here to help.
We offer group walks, where your dog can socialise and play with others. 
Gwynedd Dog Walking is not just about exercising dogs. We can look after puppies, cats and other pets.
We also offer dog boarding as an alternative to kennels – both 24-hour care (e.g. for holidays) or daycare (local dogs only).
STUART GRANSHAW  –  DOG WALKER

Stuart is the mature owner of Max, a cocker spaniel, and Buster who is a collie cross. He lives in Llanfair near Harlech and is used to working outdoors, having previously been a land surveyor.
Stuart has owned dogs for most of his life and dog walking combines this with his passion for walking.
The Gwynedd coast from Penrhyndeudraeth to Talybont provides opportunites for exceptional walks that Stuart would love to share with your own dog.

Stuart has undertaken a Dog First Aid course so is prepared for the very rare possibility that a canine emergency occurs.
He is DBS checked (Disclosure and Barring Service – formerly CRB) for your peace of mind when entering your home. The testimonials also provide evidence of Stuart’s love of dogs, together with his trustworthy nature.
Stuart is fully insured with Pet Business Insurance for undertaking services associated with dog walking. This includes public liability insurance, on- and off-lead walking, pet minding and dog boarding.

STUART’S OWN DOGS

Stuart has often owned rescue dogs. His most recent are Aris, Buster and Max.

Buster, a collie-cross, came from North Clwyd Animal Rescue near Holywell on the North Wales coast. He was there for three years, having been rehomed but then sadly returned. Buster is very loving and his behaviour has improved enormously, though he is still afraid of loud sounds such as lorries or the vacuum cleaner. Buster likes to be outside and barks at the prospect of a walk. He still has occasional issues but his development shows what a caring and loving relationship can achieve.

Max was rescued not from a dogs home but from the friend of a friend. He was locked up for most of the day and was desperate to have the freedom, excitement and human contact that we could offer. Max taught Buster how to play and these two mates are now inseparable. Max is very affable and, uinlike Buster, is afraid of very little – he even swam out to a friend’s paddle board to be part of the fun! He joins other dogs on group walks if there is room as he is very sociable.

GROUP WALKS

Group walking means your dog will be walked with others, usually for an hour.
Your dog will be able to socialise with other friendly dogs.
They will be able to play, have great interaction, and get the maximum exercise.
Once in a safe location, those dogs who have their owner’s permission are let off the lead to enable unrestricted fun and exercise.
It is essential that your dog gets on with others – I no longer do solo walks.

PUPPY VISITS

Vists to your puppy (or puppies) whilst you are out.
I will clean up any mess and check their water.
I will spend time with them and, of course, play with your puppy.
Once they are inocculated they can be taken for short walks. Socialisation with people and animals is important to a puppy’s development. so this interaction will be helpful.
Meeting other dogs when ready and safe is essential – my spaniel Max is always willing to assist!
Note I only accept dogs for daycare and 24-hour care once they are neutered and at least 9 months old.
