There’s no such thing as a bad dog. 🐾

I have grown up with dogs all of my life and strongly believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. Of corse that said I do realise some dogs need boundaries and each dog like a child will come with its own set of individual needs. I like to pride myself on ensuring those needs are met in the most healthiest and fun way with safety always coming 1st. I have trained dogs from Rottweilers to Chihuahuas from the age of 10 years old I am now 30 I find consistency and routine (and a healthy treat) has made this Exercise rewarding on both sides, each and every time. Dogs to me are truly a mans best friend, you simply get out what you put in. If not more. I am yet to find a human more loyal. I spent two months last year in Italy training a very excitable bouncy Italian greyhound cross to walk off the lead, return to a whistle, sit and to bark when I said speak. Fetch and Play the piano (that last one was a joke) however I’m sure with patience anything is possible 🙂. 🐾🐾 i also offer a cleaning and gardening service if manageable, so if your week is filled with work rest assured you can leave me to doggysit and return to a tired dog, a clean home and the satisfaction of being able to spend your free time doing something you and maybe your pooch will enjoy. No job to big or small. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, if I sound like your type of guy please do not hesitate to call or refer me it will be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards Allan 🐾

Allan picked my puppy up and dropped her back home. He was great at giving updates and she seemed happy when she was returned to me.

Alan was great! He took on our anxious boy, Bailey, at quite short notice during the summer holidays, which we really appreciated. He kept us updated throughout his stay and took great care of Bailey during the heatwave, making sure he stayed safe and comfortable. Bailey also enjoyed some lovely walks and came home healthy, happy, and relaxed. Alan also kindly brought Bailey to a more convenient location for the pick up. We highly recommend him ☺️

Our whippet Frank had a great time with Allan and Gadget, he sent lots of pics and updates and he followed Frank's routines. Will be booking him again!

Misty was really quite after arriving back but because she's never been away from home before, not been on a train and the long journey tired her out no doubt. All she wanted to do was sleep. She is more back to herself as the morning has gone on now. This was only a 2 day stay , She's never been with anyone else only at home with us. I'm sure she found it strange of course and a little shocked. A walk very soon should perk her up shortly. Allan picked her up and dropped her off to us which was grate as we don't have transport. He sent us a photo to us and she seemed well settled. Maggie.

Allan was an absolute life saver. Took my husky Max in on short notice over Christmas after a cancellation. Took the best care of him. Would absolutely recommend.

I love all dogs all shapes and sizes, I just ask to be informed of any health issues, do’s and don'ts. If anything will startle them, allergies, likes & dislikes. I prefer to continue rules that are set in the home as in allowed on sofa or bed, that way I’m not Encouraging or I’m doing training that has been done as there wasn’t like to confuse them.
