About Us
At Tails of the Trails, we are passionate about providing pawsome adventures where your lovely pooches can run, sniff and explore. We are a small team that provide countryside, wilderness adventures tailored to your pup's abilities. We offer different trails ranging from puppy visits and solo walks for the doggos who enjoy a more peaceful, private walk, to big adventures with an intimate, well-matched group of tails. We believe that every pup deserves to have fun and be a happy hound! At Tails of the Trails our love of animals extends to most household pets including, but not limited to, cats, birds, fish and even reptiles. We are committed to ensuring the well-being of all furry companions and care for every pet as though they are our own.

Safety & Security
As pet-owner's ourselves, we understand the importance of hiring a reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable individual to care for your beloved pets. At Tails of the Trails we are fully insured, DBS checked (police check level) and qualified with vital knowledge to keep your pet and pup safe in all environments and circumstances. We also utilise an online booking system that is available 24/7 meaning a service can be requested at a time that is convenient and suits you. We also accept bookings made via email and phone, for those that prefer the more traditional booking options.
The safety and wellbeing of all pets and pups is of the upmost importance to Tails of the Trails. We understand that each pet is different, reacting and behaving differently to their fellow furry friends meaning we understand the importance of tailoring our walks and services to the unique personalities of the pets in our care. Through extensive behavioural and psychological knowledge of animals we are able to consider all situations and pre-empt the best methods to care for your pup / pet. We further ensure the safety of the animals in our care by ensuring we utilise all the appropriate tools, such as car restraints/seatbelts, long-lines and our secure dog field, for those pups that perhaps don't have the best recall, are still in training or just have a high prey drive. This offers peace of mind knowing your pooch has the most fun adventures in a controlled and safe manner when cared for by Tails of the Trails. We also carry additional equipment and first aid kits should an accident occur. As fellow pet owner's we also understand the desire for home protection and the use of ring doorbells/in-home security cameras to watch your pooch whilst you're away at work and welcome these security protocols.
