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 and am on my way to becoming a dog behaviourist with the British College of Canine Studies.

I’m fully insured and DBS checked, providing safety and peace of mind during our walks. I limit the size of my group walks, allowing for personalised, enriching 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.
