We are all fully    insured and have been security vetted by the    Metropolitan Police. We are reliable, trustworthy, and    very experienced in all aspects of animal care and    animal husbandry.       About Me         Having qualifications working with animals, I have spent the past 25 years in various locations globally, including working with wild animals in Africa, as a wildlife ranger in Zimbabwe, where I grew up as a child, gaining a love and understanding for wildlife in their natural environment. I had to under go vigorous training and learn about many different species of wild animal’s in and around their natural environment, having taken more in depth studies with many of the larger animals too. I was involved in game captures, relocating many different types of dangerous wild animals in Africa and having to undertake problem wild animal control in the local farming areas.         I have had a love, understanding and passion for dogs from a very young age, having experience in dog training as I was brought up with a family that bred and showed German Sheppard’s and Rhodesian Ridgebacks and also having owned my own horses too from a young age and been involved in training horses in ridden work and carriage work. I have always had a love and understanding for animals using natural leadership methods in training.        I was fortunate and proud to be able to have worked for HM the Queen more recently in the Royal Mews, I was involved in training the young horses for ceremonial duties in both carriage and ridden work and driving carriages for ceremonial duties too like Opening of Parliment, Trooping The Colour, Royal Ascot, the Queens Golden Jubilee in 2002, and much more.     About you and your pets.        All client information shall be kept strictly confidential and all reasonable precautions will be taken to safeguard the client’s residence and animals.

Not to mention the total lack of mental stimulation! They’re over fed with dog food, treats and people scraps, but the main problem is lack of exercise. Excess energy is going to get expended. Under exercised dogs are apt to outlet their energies through a variety of ways, most of which are undesirable. It might come out as a frustration with excessive licking, self-mutilation and destructive chewing or as hyperactivity with him jumping up on you, bouncing off the walls or any number of other behavioral problems.    Signs of an under exercised dog: • Chasing his tail. • Running back and forth from one room to another     for no apparent reason. • Restlessness. "a happy dog is a well exercised dog"      Dogs need exercise every day although the amount of exercise necessary varies from dog to dog and is often dependent on the breed type, age and health. Providing enough exercise will improve your dog's health and prevent household destruction and other behaviour problems common in under exercised dogs. We are here to be able to keep your loved pets happy and exercised while you are away at work, on holiday, in hospital or unable to exercise your dog daily. Not only do we just take them for a walk, we keep them happy by keeping their minds stimulated too.   Market Close, Barnham, PO22 0LH West Sussex Home About us Services Prices & T&C’s Contact Us Gallery
