At Brighton Furry Tails, we take care of dogs individually, even when walking a group of 6 dogs. Each dog has his own dog-pod space in the van and is monitored according to his breed, needs, physical fitness, age and personality.
For that reason, we do a prior assessment of your dog friend at your home and go on a walk with him and you, to assess his/her behavior in various situations, (with other dogs, with other adults, with children..)in order to place him/her with compatible dogs on the walks.
Your address is kept private and the keys in our care are always kept in a very safe place.(I am CRB checked too as I also work with children in my spare time).
A medical history of your pet is requested and also some personality traits, which helps to get to know him/her.
Each dog is given water after each walk, and there is always an open vent next to the dog-pods when travelling from your address to the nearby countryside. Feeding after the walk on request.
Let us know about dietary requirements/allergies, as treats will be given during the walks.
Your pet Dog will be equiped with a "Brighton Furry Tails" tag at the beginning of each walk, making it easier for someone to contact me, (in the unlikely event of your dog getting confused and joining another walk group or getting lost).
That allows you to have complete peace of mind, and deal with your daily activities, knowing your dog is safe during every walk.
Upon agreeing to walk your pet, you will be asked to sign a "Disclaimer", allowing us to walk your dog off the lead. If you choose not to, your pet dog will be walked on lead.
On the first few walks, all dogs are walked on leads, to assess their behavior and initiate a trust bond between dog and walker.
I am a trained Animal First Aider, which means I know how to give first care in case of an injury or minor ailment.
