Introductions
Taking the time to introduce ourselves to you & your pet is the cornerstone of forming a great working friendship for the future. At The Happy Dog we have a 2 step 'introductions' process to ensure pet, owner & carer can become accustomed, and at ease with each other, as quickly as possible.
​
Step 1(All services) - A Home Visit
​
We will visit you and your pet at home to discuss their specific requirements, character, level of obedience, medical & vaccination history etc. Your pet will also get the chance to decide if they like us! If we are a good fit we will then arrange an accompanied walk or familiarisation visit.
​
Step 2 (Dog walking & playdates) - An Accompanied Walk
​
We will come with you on a walk with your dog. This gives us the opportunity to observe your dog's walking habits and behaviour whilst out and about. It also gives your dog another chance to familiarise themselves with us, and for them to begin the process of associating our presence with going out for a walk. There is no charge for this.
​
Step 2 (Sleepovers & staycations) - A Familiarisation Visit
​
Both you and your dog will be invited for a visit to The Happy Dog house to enable your dog to become familiar with their new surroundings and to meet Berkeley. The aim is reduce anxiety levels in your pet in readiness for their forthcoming visit, but it works a treat for the pet owners too!
