Padifoot excels in giving your dog the perfect fun energising walk, whether it’s a run, a stroll or a swim in the river, your dogs will be having fun. Dogs need to be walked recommended two or three times a day. This is to help keep them healthy and give them the right mental stimulation to prevent behavioural issues that arise due to lack of socialisation and boredom. Interaction with other socialised dogs is vital in providing balance and stability as these animals are hardwired to live among each other.
Don’t feel guilty in leaving your pooches at home all day as Padifoot is here to help make sure your home is not destroyed in any way. Dogs will be taken to the safety of parks and woodlands that are local to you and are of your choice.
Individual walks can be arranged; however it is important for dogs to be rehabilitated back into the canine environment. Only a maximum of five compatible dogs are walked at one time to ensure your pet’s safety and my undivided attention.
As well as the need for exercise and socialisation, it’s a dog’s nature to be free. To fulfil this basic need, off lead can be provided (If recall is reliable) with your written consent.
