Hi, I’m Sam Hall, a Harrogate local with a lifelong passion for dogs and the outdoors. With a degree in Psychology, 17 years of experience in Sales, and full CPD Canine First Aid certification, I’m dedicated to providing a reliable, caring, and professional dog walking service. I’m also DBS checked, council registered, and fully insured for dog walking, so you can trust your dog is in safe hands.
Throughout my life, I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with a Labrador, a Vizsla, and a Collie Cross, which has given me invaluable experience in understanding different dog personalities. While I’m not a dog trainer, I continuously research canine behavior and work closely with owners to help address any behavioral issues as they arise.
Each walk I offer is more than just exercise—it’s a chance for your dog to enjoy play, mental stimulation, socialization, and plenty of affection. I use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, making walks both fun and rewarding for your dog.
Whether it’s a group walk or a puppy visit, I’m committed to providing the best possible experience for your dog and ensuring they’re well-cared for.
Let's work together to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-behaved—because a happy dog means a happy home!

I will pick up and drop off your dog in a crate-fitted, air-conditioned van, ensuring their safety and comfort in almost all weather conditions. After muddier walks, I’ll wash them with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly with clean towels. During hotter days, I’ll make sure they stay well hydrated.
As per council regulations, I limit the group size to six dogs per walk, and each walk lasts one hour. The hour is timed from the moment we leave the van to the time the washing and drying process is complete back at the van. I also offer 30-minute puppy visits for those with younger dogs. For more details on pricing and availability, please reach out using the 'contact me' option below.
What Happens Next?
I like to arrange a meet and greet with you and your dog so that you can ask any questions you may have. I’ll also take this opportunity to learn about your dog’s personality, likes, dislikes, and anything else important for their care. The more I know about them, the better I can cater to their needs. It's essential that all the dogs are comfortable and get along in the pack.
If all goes well, we’ll schedule a trial walk so your dog can experience the group setup and see if it’s a good fit for them.
