Puppy Care

There’s nothing quite like watching a puppy grow — and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of that journey for many of the dogs I still walk today. A handful of my regulars have been with me since they were just 12 weeks old. Being part of their “team” from the very beginning is something I don’t take lightly — it’s a real privilege.

Puppies have very different needs compared to adult dogs. They’re still figuring out the world — learning how to walk nicely on lead, how to interact with other dogs, how to build confidence, and how to burn off all that puppy energy in the right way. That’s where puppy walks and pop-ins come in.

🐶 Puppy Walks

Short, gentle walks tailored to your pup’s age and stage. These are great for introducing your puppy to the outside world in a safe, positive way. I focus on:

Lead manners
Confidence building around new sights, sounds & smells
Safe exposure to other dogs (from a distance at first)
Basic cues like “sit,” “wait,” and name recall

Walks are kept age-appropriate — both in length and pace — so your puppy doesn’t get overstimulated or overtired.

🏠 Puppy Pop-Ins

Sometimes your puppy isn’t ready for a walk just yet, and that’s totally fine! Pop-ins are perfect for younger pups still completing their vaccinations or just needing a bit more support at home. During a pop-in, I’ll:

Let your pup out for a toilet break
Offer gentle play and mental stimulation
Work on handling confidence (like lead and harness desensitisation)
Provide cuddles, comfort and a calm presence while you're out

No two puppies are the same, and I tailor everything to their personality and pace. My goal is to help your pup grow into a confident and happy dog — while keeping you updated every step of the way.
