Dog walking in Edinburgh

“After attending and loving a GRC competition trial run by Linnea, I signed up for Walk and Train’s shadow programme — and I’m so glad I did! Between both Linnea and Gregor, they were full of knowledge and genuine love for the work they do. Throughout the programme, I got to discuss my future and how to get into the dog training world as well as observe a wide range of training sessions, from puppy development and obedience work to behaviour modification and GRC training. Each session offered something new to learn, and both Linnea and Gregor took the time to explain methods, reasoning, and the “why” behind every technique! What I loved was how calm, patient, consistent and fun they were with every dog and client. The ability to tailor their approach to each individual dog was brilliant and made me reflect on how I can apply the same adaptability in my own work. The experience was educational, motivating and so much fun — I came away with a deeper understanding of canine behaviour, training structure and the importance of clear communication between handler and their dog. I’d highly recommend this shadow programme to anyone looking to grow their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, or simply spend time learning from passionate, and skilled trainers! I can’t wait to continue developing my training journey with everything I took away from this experience ❤️”

“Jess and Aimee were absolutely fantastic with our little chaotic border collie during the puppy classes. We would recommend these classes to anyone. They were always willing to answer any questions we had and made the process fun and engaging, which it should be. We will definitely be back for the adolescence classes. Sorry in advance for the barking!”

“Omg what can I say. I took my wee Princess here today for a full groom for the first time. Will was amazing with her as she has always been nervous about getting a groom. We had a good chat while he let her roam about for a bit so she could have a good sniff and feel relaxed rather than just starting straight away which I thought was lovely. He really does have a caring nature for dogs. The cut itself is absolutely perfect, smooth and on point no scissor marks in sight! One happy pooch and one happy owner. We have found our forever groomer. Thank you so much Will x”

“My partner and I have visited many dog parks (at least 15/20) and we’d say this one is the best one! We live over an hour away but make the journey as our wee beagle loves it here. Definitely one of the biggest ones we’ve been to and has everything (lots of space, sensory garden, lots of equipment, fresh water, poo bags, toilet facility etc). We’re wary of some parks in terms of safety and the wee one escaping but we have no worries with this one. Will be back soon!”

“Handed in some towels/blankets for the animals. Lovely staff and good choice of treats for my dog. My old dog was adopted from here. Great charity.”

“Jade works the centre like a pro—calm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly cool. She answers questions like she’s got a PhD in pets, and somehow makes everything seem simple. No fuss, just solid advice and a great attitude. Definitely someone you want around when you’re trying to figure out the world of pet care.”

“Campbells Walkies are excellent and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Linda has been walking our dog Duke since he was 12 weeks old, just over a year now. She is 100% reliable, honest and trustworthy. Duke absolutely adores her and the group walks she takes him on. He comes home from his walks exhausted and happy. It's great having Linda as our dog walker and I particularly enjoy the pictures she sends every day of Duke on his walk and the text to let me know when he's home safe and sound.”

“After alot of thought and hesitation. We took the plunge and contacted Kristie. So helpful, so understanding of our circumstances. Now our wee timid 'Fergus' cannot wait for his walkers Susan & Emma. He sits at the window waiting for the car and off he goes. Best decision we have made. We get regular updates on what the wee one has been up to, together with pictures. Cannot recommend enough!!!!”

“An amazing service. I was very nervous leaving my cat while I went away but after I met Angela in the pre house visit I was put at ease. It is clear how much she loves animals and my usually timid cat went to her straight away...even climbed on her back. My cat was taking medication which was no problem for Angela and they sent me daily updates including pictures. I would not trust any other company to look after my girl! A***”

“Steph has looked after our cat Bella a few times now, and she provides a fantastic service! She's really organised and thorough, and Bella clearly loves her visits - we also love looking out for the updates on social media while we're away! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pawsome Walkies ❤️”

“My dog loves Alana more than me! On Alana Days she recognises the sound of her car and runs to the gate to wait for her. Over the last two years Alana has always looked after her and kept her safe even when she can be a little madam and goes walk-about. There are only a handful of people I would trust with my fur baby and Alana is one of them.”

“Mark and the team are an amazing dog walking / socialisation group. My dog knows exactly when he is getting picked up and is very excited to go, they take amazing care of my doggy and he always comes back shattered as he has had a wonderful time. Even in bad weather Mark and the team are there on time and even ensure Milo is clean on his return. No ask is too much, they are reliable, friendly, supportive and very very protective of all the dogs. You can even see yourself through their facebook pages how much fun your dog has on every walk. I would HIGHLY recommend Mark and the team 100%, your pet is another member of your family and Mark and the team know this and treat your pets as they would a family member of their own. Thank you Mark!”

“Laura started walking our dog last year as we wanted to get him more socialised. He was nervous at first but now absolutely loves his walks and is so excited when she arrives. Laura is professional, kind and genuinely loves her job and the animals she cares for. Wouln’t trust anyone else to walk our dog!”

“Absolutely love this dog park, is our favourite dog park in the area. Is always clean, lots of space with different areas for dogs to investigate and love the forest area too. My dogs face in the pictures says it all, he loves coming here. Thanks to the owners for hiring out the space :-)”

“Excellent dog groomer and very nice to your pet...my dog loves going for hid hair cut..”

“Gary groomed my three dogs today, one of which is very vocal and doesn't like getting clipped because he gets really matted. WOW is all I can say. They all look amazing. Professional and courteous service and wasn't perplexed by the big dog at all. Have already discussed their next appointment. Thanks again”

“Site staff are friendly and very welcoming, the site is clean, shower and toilet facilities are immaculate. The site was packed but there was still a relaxed friendly atmosphere about the site. We will visit again on our next excursion north and would recommend this site. To the staff……great work guys it’s nice to see people that understand the value of customer service.”

“Christine is a trustworthy and extremely reliable lady. Our dog absolutely adores her. Christine keeps me up to date on his progress, and sometimes sends photos of their walks. She keeps him calm, as he is still a puppy. She offers sound advice if I have puppy questions. I would highly recommend Christine.”

“Nicola has been walking our dogs three days a week for over a year now. She is reliable and really accommodating. She takes wonderful care of the dogs and gives us regular updates and photos!”

“Jasper has been with pawdlers for around 3/4 months now. He never used to like being sent out with his dog walker but since moving him to pawdlers he sprints out the door excited to see Lauren every time and stays at the door for cuddles with her when she drops him off! They take the dogs for beautiful long walks in the pentlands and provide fresh home made treats! I get to see snippets on social media which show them being given enriching games with treats as they walk with all the dogs playing really nicely and with good manners...and jasper always comes home squeaky clean even when I see him on Instagram having jumped in a big bog! (Which is most walks...he's a grub!) I wouldn't want to put him with anyone else. They really are the best!”

“Ally has been our walker for more than a month now and has been great. Our dog can be weary of people, especially men, but she loved Ally straight away and he definitely knows how to approach different dogs with various needs. He is also very flexible to the needs of a dog and their owner and always sends us the best photos. Great service all around!”

“Our little minnie moo is 2 and a half, dougie and margot have been walking and helping care for minnie since she has been 5 months old. They are amazing with minnie and always cater to last minute requests to look after our dog. It amazes me how dougie is with so many dogs and how they all listen to his cemands hes a true dog whisperer”

“The best, most caring dog walker. Our dog has the time of his life and is so excited when Jennie arrives. She takes a genuine interest in his welfare and he comes home exhausted and happy.”

“Much more than a simple dog walking service - Gilbert now recognises the sound of Ashley's van door closing and bolts down the stairs to greet her! Ashley and Kevin took the time to make sure our boy was comfortable with them and other dogs before his first walks. We're kept updated every time and Gilbert comes home happy and tired - when you have to wake a Labrador up for dinner, you know they've had a good walk!”

“Brilliant dog Walker who is great with our dog, flexible around schedules. Our dog always comes back happy and tired!”

“Raymond was our dog walker for 4 years before we moved and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He goes above and beyond, is extremely reliable, and most importantly he cares for and spoils the dogs like they’re his own. He will send pick up and drop off messages and post photos of the walks. I’ve met Raymond while walking my dog and Cooper then doesn’t want to stay with me, he wants to go with Raymond which I think says it all! Would highly recommend Spoilt Paws, Raymond is the best!”

“What can I say about these two amazing, passionate females. For a whole year they tendered for my over energetic Carlos. Always punctual and caring for him. Polite and compassionate. Especially when he started become unwell. They were their for him until the end. And when the time comes for me to become a mumma of another best friend then the woof pack will be be called to help me through it.. Thankyou girls. Xx”
