A Video Clip from Puppy Training Classes

This is a great bit of training we did with Skye, it really helped with keeping her walking to heel. Lots of praise, treats and enthusiastic noises and she took to it quickly, even with lots of distractions present.

Bronze Kennel Club Graduation!

As it has been mentioned a few times on this blog I thought I should post a photo of my girls when they received their Bronze Kennel Club certificates last June (2010). This sort of doggie socialisation has been integral to how I walk dogs. If I can get my dogs to behave inside a closed hall with a dozen other dogs getting your dog to behave in a park or on the street should be no problem!

I have known Hilary for a couple years now and her ability to greet and befriend any dog always amazes me. Her patience with animals is something to behold. Having taken on Rhu and Skye (a rescue) she has done great work retraining them and giving them a happy home.

She is a very confident and knowledgeable dog walker and I've have personally seen her stop other dogs from misbehaving with her own dogs on many occasions. Both her dogs have been awarded the Bronze Kennel Club and she dedicates a lot of effort to her own reading and research on dog behaviour and training.

I don't think you could find another dog walker more ready to take a dog out in ANY kind of weather, rain, wind or snow. Hers is a service I thoroughly recommend.

This sounds like a perfect service for me and my husband. We both work long hours and honestly don't spend enough time with our dog. Although we love her very much, after a long day (and especially in the winter) we don't have the energy to treat her to a long walk let alone the play time she deserves. We will be in touch to work out a shedule that best suits everyone, especially Fala (our collie).

To whom it may concern,

I have known Hilary Bruff for around 6 months, and at all times have found her to be pleasant, friendly and warm. She is a very helpful and responsible individual.

Hilary is able to act calm and rational in emergencies, as she did when my own dog was injured and rushed to the vet one evening. She is well-informed in dog behaviour, and how dogs can react in particular situations.

Whenever I have seen Hilary with her own dogs/others she is always well equipped with toys and such like and they always seem very happy! Therefore I would trust Hilary 100% with my own dog, as I know he would be safe and enjoy the time, and recommend the same to others.
