Welcome to Dave's Dogs!

Hi, I’m Dave! As a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog walker, my journey started with my elderly Labrador, Sylvester. When he developed arthritis, I earned a qualification in canine hydrotherapy and worked at a local centre, helping him and other dogs in need.

After Sylvester’s passing in 2023, I adopted Albert, a Hungarian Vizsla whose unique needs ignited my passion for understanding dog behaviour and training. I continue to study with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), focusing on positive methods that reward good behaviour.

I’m fully insured and DBS checked, providing safety and peace of mind during our walks. I limit my group walks to four dogs at a time, allowing for personalised, calming experiences. I also believe in “natural” walks, giving dogs the freedom to explore their environment with minimal reliance on toys or games.

Alongside dog walking, I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off services in Colchester and nearby areas. As a dedicated dog owner myself, I understand the importance of knowing your dog is well-cared for. With my experience and passion for dogs, you can trust that your pet is in capable hands.
