The Lone Wolf

One-to-one enrichment walks, drop-ins, and weekday daycare in your home. Dog walker based in Sussex.

Are you looking for a reliable, caring Sussex dog walker?  Over the last two decades, I've worked in grooming salons, daycare facilities and dog training centres. 

I offer one-to-one walks so that I can really focus on your dog and ensure they get the most out of their walk. 

I believe that by offering a bespoke, tailored service, your dog will truly thrive on their walks and get the most out of their time with me.

My main services

01Signature

Enrichment Walks

Solo dog walks where they are the centre of attention. I provide enrichment, training, and recall-focused walks based around your dog's specific needs. 

02

Drop-Ins + Daycare

Book one-hour or three-hour visits where I spend time with your dog while you are out. 

03

Dog walk runs 

I offer 40-minute "running" dog walks where I run with your dog. This is ideal for high-energy dogs and gun dogs/sled dogs who need a lot of exercise.

04

Enclosed dog park sessions

I can take your dog to an enclosed field where they can have a good run around (you book the field). Perfect for dogs that can't go off-lead. 

(b) — The difference

Enrichment walks = fulfilled dogs

For some dogs, simply walking for an hour is not enough. They need to be engaged with and use their mind. I assess each dog and make suggestions as to what type of walk might suit them best. This may include things like:

  • i.Scent work such as sniffing out treats, balls or toys.
  • ii.Obedience training whilst on the walk.
  • iii.Agility-style walks where they move around and jump over obstacles.
