What I Do.

Having been around animals most of my life especially rescue dogs (and cats) along with running my own dog walking business since 2011, I have learned one important fact– the key to a contented, well-rounded dog is fun and both physical and mental exercise. Here at Finchley dog walker your dog will be entertained whilst learning, Our enhanced dog walks combine play and brain work suitable to your dog, allowing your dog to use their brain on walks will mean they come back fulfilled, contented and pleasantly tired – and I know they will have enjoyed our time together as much as I have

Weekend Walks

Working Walks – Training Walks

If you find that you spend most of your dog walking time playing fetch, or go on frequent daily walks, but you can’t seem to tire out your pooch, chances are you have a “High Energy” dog. This type of dog can be fun to be around, but training them is usually more challenging…

Bespoke One to One Dog Walks.

I know that, although dogs are sociable animals, not all of them cope well with being in a group and this could be for any number of reasons. Elderly dogs may prefer to walk without the distraction of younger dogs jumping around them. At the same time, puppies can often get too excitable or too nervous, which can prevent them from learning properly. Some dogs may benefit from some basic training, and I can incorporate this into our walks. I use positive methods only and will follow any positive training program you have in place
So, I am pleased to be able to offer bespoke individual walks, tailored to your dog’s exact requirements designed to increase your dog’s enjoyment on his walks.

We have a rescue dog from the RSPCA (large Alsatian), he can be hard to control around other dogs. Derek agreed to take him on. Derek successfully employed a couple of training techniques to rein in bad behaviour. I'd recommend Derek as 100% reliable, capable of managing even difficult dogs and he clearly cares about the dogs and their welfare.

Derek has patient and kind approach to dog handling and is persistent in getting problems sorted. We can highly recommend Finchley Dog Walking services!

I'm a pet behaviourist and Derek is the ONLY person with whom I trust my own rescue terrier. He also house sits for me. He is brilliant. I refer lots of my behaviour clients to him. He is happy to walk dogs who are perhaps not the easiest, and is a lovely kind man too.

Derek has been walking our young dog for 6 months and he always gets excited when he sees him walking down the street. Derek is very reliable which is important to us.

Derek looks after my 2 dogs wonderfully. One of them is now very old and his needs vary from day to day, Derek accommodates his changing needs with no problem. The individual care is priceless, there is no way a group walk would suit my two. Derek is loved by both of them.

Derek is a responsible dog walker who has bothered to study for some relevant qualifications. It's so difficult to find a good walker who isn't just 'in it for the money'.

Derek is a very reliable and trustworthy dog walker. He understands dogs so well, and is very patient with our dog’s quirks. Our dog clearly likes Derek & is always looking out for him at walk times.

Derek has been looking after my dog, Gatsby, since 2015. He is a kind man who is very good with my dog. Del looks out for other dogs too, often giving tips about how to look after them during hot weather, the firework season, etc. Del has been essential for Gatsby receiving a good quality of life when I am out of the house. Use Del for a knowledgeable and flexible service!
