Hi, I’m Del! Having owned dogs for over 30 years —like collies and German shepherds, often rescues—I understand how much

these intelligent and energetic dogs thrive on physical activity and mental challenges. Working dogs and high-energy breeds aren’t just pets; they’re companions. But without the right outlets for their energy, they can be a handful! And even, shall we say, a bit naughty. and possibly destructive

Does Your Dog Need Training Walks?

Do you feel like no matter how many games of fetch you play or how long your walks are, your dog still isn’t tired? If that sounds familiar, chances are you have a high-energy dog. These dogs make great companions and have great personalities, but their boundless energy can be a challenge when it comes to training.

Why Regular Activity is So Important

We all know that daily exercise is key to keeping our dogs physically healthy—but it’s more than that. Exercise helps build the bond between you and your dog, boosts their socialisation skills, and provides essential mental stimulation.

Exercise is their instinct for working dogs and energetic breeds like retrievers, shepherds, and terriers. It gives them a sense of purpose and keeps them happy. Without enough activity, these dogs can turn to unwanted behaviours such as:

  • Whining or excessive barking
  • Chewing furniture, shoes, or other household items
  • Jumping up at people or objects
  • Digging up your garden
  • Restlessness or pacing

Does any of this sound familiar? Don’t worry—help is at hand.

Working Walks in Finchley and Muswell Hill

At Finchley Dog Walker, I specialise in “Working Walks,” explicitly designed for high-energy dogs and working breeds. These walks go beyond the typical stroll in the park. We combine physical exercise with mental challenges to tire out your dog and satisfy their instincts.

Here’s what our Working Walks include:

  • Mental Stimulation: Using games and activities like scent work, puzzle games, and item searches to keep your dog’s brain engaged.
  • Reinforcing Training: Revisiting commands like “Sit,” “Wait,” and “Leave It” to reinforce good behaviours.
  • Tailored Exercise: Activities that align with your dog’s breed instincts, whether herding-style tasks or retrieving challenges.

These walks aren’t just about burning off energy—they’re about giving your dog a purpose, building their confidence, and helping them become well-rounded companions. A well-structured working walk benefits you and your dog, leaving them happy, fulfilled, and ready for a well-deserved nap!

Struggling to Keep Up with a High-Energy Dog? We’ve Got You Covered!

Living with a high-energy dog can be exhausting—especially if you’re busy with work or not as energetic as your four-legged friend. It’s unfair to your dog (or you!) to ignore their needs and hope they’ll adjust to a quieter life.

If your schedule doesn’t allow you to give your dog the activity they crave, why not let us help?

  • Doggy Daycare is perfect for days when you’re out of the house. It ensures your dog has plenty of fun and exercise while you’re away. However, please ensure the council licenses them; otherwise, any insurance they may have will be invalid.
