ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE IS HAVING A HEALTHY, HAPPY DOG BUT SOMETIMES OUR LIFESTYLES ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE WHAT YOUR “BEST FRIEND” NEEDS. THE STIMULATION ACHIEVED FROM WALKING AND EXERCISING YOUR DOG PROVIDES MUCH MORE BENEFIT THAN OUTSIDE SPACE ALONE CAN, SO IF, FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CANNOT AFFORD THE TIME BECAUSE OF WORK OR OTHER COMMITMENTS MAY HAVE, WE CAN STEP IN AND WALK YOUR DOG FOR YOU. Cheshire Dog Services will collect your dog in our fully ventilated vehicle, which has individual cages for your dog’s safety. Following a good walk, we will return your dog back to your home, happy, socialised and tired. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A DOG WALKER… GET IN TOUCH [https://www.cheshiredogservices.co.uk/contact/] If you have ever seen any of the TV shows relating to dog behaviour, you will know that walking is so essential to your dog’s wellbeing. They need both mental and physical stimulation and lack of these stimuli can often result in behavioural problems such as barking, chewing or just general nuisance behaviour, which is not what you want from your dog. During our daily walks your dog can do what dogs want to do, they will get the chance to have a really good run around whilst socialising with us and the other dogs. The locations/routes taken are varied so that the walks always remain interesting. Walking your dog in a pack could therefore provide a good proportion of the social interaction and physical exercise your dog requires to have a well-balanced disposition. We can walk either on the lead or simply allow them to run free; it depends on what your dog needs & what you instruct us to do. Your dog should then return home happy, tired and just about ready for a good rest! Prior to your dog’s first walk, we will come and meet him /her to get to know the character whilst at the same time allowing you to ask any questions you may have. All dogs will undergo a free assessment prior to joining Cheshire Dog Services. This places you under no obligation, just the opportunity to meet us before you make any decisions. If you wish to go ahead with our walking service, your dog may then be walked on a one to one basis for the first few walks, just so we can get to know your dog a little better and gauge how your dog reacts in different situations. We will then suggest that your dog would be suited to one of the following. Walking in a “pack” with dogs of a similar temperament or breed, which will help to socialise & stimulate your dog. We walk no more than five dogs at once but prefer a maximum of four smaller breed or three larger breed dogs as we feel this is the number that allows us to give them the attention they need and for their safety and confidence too. OR Recommend for ‘1 to 1 walks‘. Any issues that arise will be discussed with you in detail. We recognise that all dogs are different and have individual needs, so our descriptions are used as a guide only. We can personalise any of our services to suit your (or your dog’s) requirements so if you don’t find exactly what you are looking for or have any questions, CONTACT US and we will do our very best to meet your needs. We are able to offer special rates if you would like us to look after additional dogs from the same household and weekly bookings. Cheshire Dog Services are DBS certified and fully insured. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR PRICES (they vary depending on what’s required)

DOG BEHAVIOUR At Cheshire Dog Services, emphasis is placed on modification of the dog’s behaviour through non-coercive and non-aversive methods. While basic training is a component of any behaviour modification program, it is likely you require assistance in devising a course of action that will help you and your dog successfully overcome any problems that arise during your dogs’ lifetime. Plenty of the problem behaviours that dogs’ develop can be a result of an owner’s misunderstanding of their dogs’ behaviour and can make matters worse when responding in an inappropriate way. Harsh methods can deteriorate your relationship with your dog and build distrust on both sides so using aggression to cure aggression does not work. Many nuisance behaviours or aggression problems are often very normal dog behaviours, therefore using harsh or aversive tactics to remove these undesirable actions are unwarranted and only delay in “fixing” the problem in the first place. Helping you understand dog psychology can give you the foundation to a happier life together! Glyn has a diploma (merit pass) in Advanced Canine Behaviour from the esteemed British College of Canine Studies. Are you experiencing problems with your dog such as: * Jumping up * Object guarding or stealing * Aggression to other dogs, children & strangers * Over guarding of you or your house * Fear / nervousness / anxiety * Excessive barking * Getting into the car * Barking at people or cars https://www.cheshiredogservices.co.uk/dog-behaviour/#https://www.cheshiredogservices.co.uk/dog-behaviour/# Behaviour Modification takes into account: 1. Ensuring the Health & physical wellbeing of your dog. (physical health – diet, rest, exercise, medical illness ) & emotional wellbeing. 2. Setting the dog up for Success – Avoiding putting the dog in a situation where he/she is likely to fail. 3. Desensitisation & Counter Conditioning – presenting less threatening versions of the triggering stimulus & pairing it with things the dog enjoys. 4. Positive Reinforcement / Differential reinforcement of Alternative Behaviour – teaching other skills the dog can do instead of the unwanted behaviour. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH THE BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS YOU ARE ENCOUNTERING AND WE’LL REVIEW WHAT’S INVOLVED TO HELP YOU. We would normally like to carry out a visit to your home, discuss the issue on full, meet your dog and set out what we need to do to help you. At this stage, we’ll set out costs involved as I’m sure you can understand that some behavioural issues can take longer to resolve than others. We would normally like to carry out at least one follow up visit and will provide you with a written report too. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR PRICES (they vary depending on what’s required)
