Willow's Walks and Dog Services provide dog walking, training and socialising (including group socialising and pack walks) in Welshpool, and drop-in visits for your canine companions.

While my focus is on working with dogs with complex behaviour such as aggression and reacitivty, some of my other services include but are not limited to:

Dog Walking
Dog Training
Drop-in visits (includes feeding, interaction and toileting)

I also provide group trainings for puppy companions and adult dogs.

Focusing on Reward Based Training, my aim is to meet the emotional and mental needs of the dogs that I support, as well as making sure that what motivates their breed is also being encouraged in recreational ways. When you strip away basic obedience training and teaching dogs to behave in a way that you desire, the training I essentially provide is about helping you learn more about your dogs than they learn about you. They're a non-verbal animal that still communicate in so many amazing ways, and it's our responsibility to learn how to understand that so that we can make sure their needs are being met before expecting them to engage in ways that we prefer.

I don't work towards "fixing bad dogs", I work towards helping you understand what your dogs are expressing to you and towards their environment. The idea that a dog is bad is driven by our own dislike of a dog's behaviour, but it doesn't determine that a dog deserves that label. That's the stigma I aim to break with my clients. When you understand your dog's needs and what they're communicating, you can help them overcome obstacles that are expressed through various behaviours.
