  • Can't leave the office during your lunch break

  • Want someone reliable there on the difficult days

  • Dog needs more stimulation than you can currently provide

Life gets busy - your dog still needs their walk

Daily physical and mental stimulation is essential for your dog's happiness and wellbeing. But everyone's life looks different, and not everyone can always make it happen — and that's completely okay.

"Whether you can't leave the office at lunch, have too much to juggle, or simply want expert support — let me take the pressure off."

What dog owners say about Doggie Dawdles

  • - Andrew Hunt -

    Our black Labrador Oreo loves his walks with Tracey at Doggie Dawdles! It adds such enrichment to his life being out socializing in the countryside with other dogs. It's so lovely to see the photographs & videos of him playing & exploring that Tracey puts on Facebook. We love seeing the happy faces of all his doggy pals. When he returns home you can tell he's had a great time.

  • - Liz Mary -

    Tracey is always so helpful and brilliant with our dogs. She is really lovely and has the dogs best interests at heart at all times. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

  • - Debbie Spooner-Chapman -

    I would highly recommend Tracy. My dog was very timid and Tracy made us feel safe on our first day of training. We had 7 training sessions and enjoyed ever single one. My dog learnt a lot over the 7 weeks. We found tracy a very patient person very kind and a very good trainer. I would definitely go back to her if I ever needed to.

  • - Alaina Matthews -

    Tracey helped us address our Springer's aggression and guarding behavior when he was on strict crate rest due to a leg injury. Her guidance not only improved our pup's relationship with our cats but also addressed the issue of him pulling on the lead. Thanks to Tracey's expertise, we have seen significant progress in our dog's behavior. We are grateful to have her as our trainer.
