Out of town and into nature – daily group dog walks around Colchester.
An Important Message
from Dave's Dogs
On 12 August, an upsetting incident took place in Scotland involving a dog walker with a similar business name to mine. I want to make it absolutely clear that I have no connection whatsoever to that person or their business.
My thoughts are very much with the poor dog and their family who have been affected by what happened. Like many of you, I found the incident deeply distressing.
Sadly, I’ve also received an abusive and threatening message from someone who believed I was involved. I understand how emotions run high in situations like this, but this is not okay and the police have been informed.
I want to reassure everyone that Dave’s Dogs is a completely separate business here in Colchester.
The incident has upset many within the dog walking community. The vast majority of us take our responsibilities incredibly seriously and have policies and procedures in place to protect the dogs in our care. I’m proud to be part of that community and to uphold those standards every day.
If you ever have any questions or need reassurance about the way I work, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me directly.
Thank you to all of my clients and supporters who know me and continue to put their trust in me.
