Q10) Do you take bitches in season?

Q11) Do your services cater for all dog breeds?

We take each dog on its own merit and not on reputation of particular breeds. We meet all dogs before we walk them and each new dog is subject to a trial period. Any instances of aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated and those dogs will be barred from our walks.

We also decline to take any male dog over the age of 1 year that has not been castrated. In our experience other dogs take exception to un-castrated males as they give off a particular scent.
