At Happy Hounds Dog Services we cater for dog walking as well as dog training services. Paula has trained as a veterinary nurse previously and has taken lots of various courses on dog behaviour. She is currently working through and advanced diploma in Canine Behaviour. Her younger son is looking to join the business and is studying a degree in Animal Behaviour at Manchester Metropolitian University. Knowledge is vitally important as are the pracital skills for helping both humans and dogs.
We understand contacting a trainer can be a daunting prospect but please don't worry we are here to help how ever we can!!
Can anyone recommend a dog walker, in urmston area & any ideas on prices please ?
Paula S. replied:
Hi there. First off every walker will charge differently depending on travel and dog numbers. Please make sure whoever you use is fully insured!!! There are lots of walkers out there without insurance. 6 is the maximum/person on a walk but in most areas of Urmston the bye laws limit it to 4 dogs/person. There are those out there walking a dozen a time. Dogs should be returned to you at night time. If not then your walker should be licenced by local council. Easy to check on council website. Again insurance required for this. All of which we have plus fully adapted van. https://m.facebook.com/Paulasummers01/
Sorry, I have asked this question before. But I've unfortunately lost all the details due to getting a new phone.
Could I please have suggestions of places or people who could look after my dog whilst I'm on holiday? ☺️

Can anyone recommend a dog boarder? I've always used kennels for my dog, but he's getting quite an old man now & would like for him to be in a home setting for our upcoming holiday.
Thanks

Please check on Trafford council website for fully insured and licenced home boarders. It is illegal to board dogs in your home without a licence. I run Happy Hounds Dog Services and several of the above names mentioned are NOT licenced. Hate to be the Debbie downer but if something happens to your dog whilst you are away these people won't be insured or covered for it. We run a fully insured and licenced home boarding and house sitting service. Please contact us by all means for a chat about how we can help you. If your dog is older it maybe be wiser to leave your dog at home and allow us to move in and look after him. 07866270133
