Free meet & greet
A relaxed chat so I can get to know your dog in more detail and we can work out which service suits them best. It's required before joining a group walk, so I can make sure every group is a good, compatible fit.

Packs are paid up front and used for the same session type. A special training request is something you'd like us to work on, such as loose-lead walking, recall or polite greetings. Training on walks is basic and supports what you're doing at home. I'm a dog walker rather than a qualified dog trainer.

Hi, I'm Zoe
Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember, especially training them. For the last four years I've been training and working with my own Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bellamy, who taught me how clever, loving and misunderstood bull breeds can be.
I also spent two years volunteering with dogs at the SPCA, working with dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. After more than 10 years in the corporate world, I swapped the office for the outdoors to do what I love most.
My training philosophy is positive reinforcement based and I understand that each dog has preferences and communicates differently. I aim to meet your dog where they are at and find what brings them joy to encourage them to lean into more desirable behaviours. I follow a fear free approach in my care of animals.
I'm a dog walker, not a dog trainer. The training I offer is basic, and it's there to give you and your dog some extra support alongside your walks.
The Bull Run is for owners who want more than a walk around the block. Every outing mixes exercise, play and basic training, and I'll tell you how it went.
