Finchley dog walker – one to one walks

Specialist One 2 One Dog Walks from an experienced professional

Does your dog struggle with reactivity around other dogs and need a calm, understanding handler for their walks?

Maybe your senior dog enjoys a slower, more relaxed pace these days.

Or do you have a young dog bursting with energy who thrives with focused, individual attention?

I offer personalised, one-on-one walks designed around your dog’s unique needs. Every walk is fun and enriching and starts right from your front door—no stressful car rides or crate time involved.

Let’s make their walk the highlight of their day!

Why choose One-to-one  Dog Walks

Tailored Experience: Every dog is unique. One-to-one walks mean your pet receives undivided attention, completely tailored to their age, health, and temperament.

Ideal for:

  • Older dogs who benefit from a gentle, slow-paced outing.
  • Reactive or Anxious dogs needing a calm, patient handler away from busy groups.
  • Blind or Deaf dogs who thrive with focused care.
  • Rescues & Nervous dogs requiring confidence-building in a secure, one-to-one setting.
  • High-energy dogs that crave an active, enriching walk without distractions.

Each walk combines physical exercise with mental stimulation—your dog returns home fulfilled, content, and pleasantly tired. (See Services for full details.)

About Derek “Del” Chambers aka Finchley Dog Walker

With a lifelong passion for animals and professional dog-walking experience dating back to 2011, I’ve learned that a well-rounded dog needs both physical and mental enrichment. Having worked extensively with rescue dogs (and cats), I integrate fun, positive-reinforcement games and simple brain exercises into every outing. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are at the heart of everything I do.

Bespoke One to One Dog Walks.

I understand that not every dog thrives in a group setting. While many dogs enjoy socialising, others find it overwhelming—and that’s okay!

Older dogs often prefer a peaceful stroll without younger dogs bouncing around, while puppies can get overly excited or anxious, making it harder for them to learn and explore the world. Some dogs may need extra support with confidence-building or basic training, and I’m happy to incorporate this into our time together. I use only positive, reward-based methods and will follow any training programme you already have in place.

That’s why I specialise in one-to-one walks for shy, nervous, or reactive dogs. Each walk is carefully tailored to your dog’s specific needs, ensuring their comfort, confidence, and enjoyment every step of the way.
