Walk Safety & security (Dogs)
1. For the safety and security of the dogs, and the safety of other people and animals. all dogs will be exercised on a lead at all times. (many local authority by-laws demand this in public places) and will only be let off lead if in a safe secure and enclosed dog exercise field.
2. The walker will apply personal judgment and cut short a walk, if necessary, because of extreme weather conditions; including, but not limited to, excessive heat, torrential rain, thunderstorms, and snow/ice. The decision to do so lays with the judgment of the walker. They may also cut short a walk due to security worries (there have been a lot of dog thefts in recent times), or if the dog(s) display uncontrollable aggressive behaviour to the walker, other people, or other animals.

It must be noted that while we towel dry dogs as best we can, we cannot guarantee that all mud traces will be removed. Therefore, if your dog(s) have open access to rooms where there is soft furnishing we recommend the use of extra covers on these items or have a separate area to keep the dog(s) after a walk.
4. Dogs will be picked up from your home or accommodation and walked on the lead in your local area.
5. Walk time will start from the moment we arrive at your home to the time we drop off your dog. Any additional services such as. feeding or towel drying will be included in this time.
Timings
Unfortunately, although we try and walk your dog or visit your pet at the time you’d like us to, we cannot guarantee being able to do this. Also, all visit and walk durations are approximate durations.
