"We have been with Ali for a number of years and her commitment and professionalism is second to none. She loves and cares for our dog as if it he’s her own. We are delighted with the service she offers and grateful for all she does.." Sam & Marlow Bamford
"Ali has been instrumental in bringing my dog Daisy out of her shell. She's used her knowledge and skills to determine where Daisy needed support and this has done wonders to make her the confident girl she is today. Daisy is always so excited when she hears Ali's van! I'm so grateful to have found Country Dog Walking!"
"Ali has been walking our Doberman, Winston for over three years now and we couldn’t be without her. He loves her so much and we trust her totally with him. He’s a big dog and whilst very lovely can be a handful and there’s no one else we would send him out with every day. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and responsible. We love her very much! Thank you for your continued hard work Ali! X"
"Ali has given us the best start in training for our young Labrador puppy! We love Ali's friendly attitude & positive approach to training - Hugo responds really well to the fun exercises and we have earned so much!
Highly recommend these 121 training sessions"
At the beginning of 2025, our loyal VW was updated with an electric newer model. This supports our mission to protect the environment where possible, and also meaning a quieter ride for the dogs helping with their overall wellbeing.
