 We acquired Tia, a four and a half month old Springer on Friday 12 March. We had contacted “Come walk with us” prior to getting the dog and had confirmed their availability to take her 4 part days a week during school term time. Bill and Clair met with us in our home in order to meet us and more importantly our pup and were happy to take her on. Tia is a typical pup, a Whirlwind as Springer owners call them, but she was nervous when we first got her. It took the weekend in her new home before she was confident to approach the family including two boys 11 and 13. Tia started with Bill and Clair on Monday 22nd March. The first week we were understandably concerned as to how she would adapt and fit in with other dogs. It was obvious that she was not used to dogs or people and did not know how to socialise. After the first couple of apprehensive days and phone calls to check all was well we were satisfied that Tia was adapting well to the day care. By the end of the first four day week she was happy to meet the crew each day. Tia knows the routine now and sits at the garage door Monday to Thursday morning waiting on her lead and transport to meet up with Bill, Clair and all the dogs, she can't wait!!" She gets 2 good walks from Bill and Clair and comes home tired, hungry and happy. We think that Tia does not particularly like small children (something back to her first months maybe) but using “Come walk with us” has certainly helped her relationships with people and dogs. Bill and Clair understand the personalities of all the dogs in their care and how they all interact. They are both totally trustworthy, very accommodating and appear to really enjoy the job they do. Tia has a great time. Great outcome, great service and we would have no hesitation recommending "Come walk with us" to anyone looking for dog walking/care. |
