About

My name is Kimberley and I’m the face behind HiKo Hounds. I have been walking dogs as a career since November 2019 and I am also fur-mama to 2 American Akitas, Hiro and Koda who keep my heart happy and my hands full!

Hiro and Koda are both reactive dogs and I understand how hard it can be to find a network of people to accept them for the characters that they are.

It's that time of year where the dogs get a bit smellier 🤢 I purchased some wax melts from HiKo scented wax and oh my gosh my house smells absolutely amazing. It was hard to chose which scents to go for but we decided to go for some autumnal scents. The gingerbread wax melt is particularly yummy (smelling 😅) everyone has complimented me when they have walked in the house 😁 Will definitely be buying lots more! More...

Always an excellent, professional and reliable service. Kimberley clearly loves dogs and mine definitely love her! She is brilliant with our reactive teenage madam too. Love the little update pics and videos she sends so you have peace of mind that all is ok. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HiKo Hounds ❤️ More...

So today my boy had his first walk with Emma and he loved it. She was very reassuring and either she was acting brilliantly or she genuinely loves my dog almost as much as I do which gave me great confidence in her taking him out. With a knee injury and surgery pending it’s amazing to have dog walkers who are willing to walk “reactive dogs” who are very much mid understood. My boy can be brilliant but he’s still a pup learning how to behave around people and dogs. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. I’ve been able to be totally honest and don’t feel I’m being judged at all when my boy can be a bit of a d*%# sometimes, but deep down hes a massive softy x More...

I can’t put into words how amazing Hiko Hounds are! When we moved to Coalville I really worried about what I would do with my 3 fur babies whilst I was at work. I have 3 very crazy, lovable, attention seeking puppy bulldogs.. not the easiest as you can imagine BUT my gosh to say they love Kimberley would be an understatement! Kimberley goes above and beyond her duty of ‘looking after my doggies’ every single day! Not to mention the amazing photos I receive on my lunch break each day! I couldn’t recommend the Hiko team enough and Effie Ernie and Ralphie are HUGE fans!! More...

Always kind, always helpful, always trustworthy!, my baby dog loves his walkies, I get beautiful videos and photos of him on his travels while I’m out and it’s such peace of mind knowing he’s safe and happy! Can’t recommend enough!

We have been using the services of Amber and Kimberley for a few weeks now, but already we know that they will be a part of our dogs’ lives for a long time. Our two dogs are always looking forward to Amber arriving, and she has formed such a fantastic relationship with them already. It is really great to see how well she interacts with them. She really does have great control. We get such a good service, not just the walking, but also loads of film and photo updates from every single day! Our only regret is that we didn’t find you sooner! More...

So i have an asbo dog with a few dog issues, and i dont trust many with my dogs at all. But im very glad i trusted hiko hounds, they firstly listened to my concerns and didnt ever make me feel silly or judged by my asbos or by my worry wart nature. My boy looks forwards to his time with hiko hounds and i get alittle update after just to reassure my mind. Couldn't recommend them enough, they are awesome ❤️ More...

Amber is AMAZING with my two dogs. She has built up such a good bond and both dogs really enjoy their weekly walks. She does abit of training on the walks aswell. From the start it was a working progress as both dogs were nervous and anxious and they have built their trust and end goals to where they are now. Happy dogs who both are tired afterwards and plenty of fuss and love all round. Would highly recommend Hiko Hounds to anyone thinking of dog walks. One happy human and two happy dogs who love their time with Amber. BEST Decision ive ever made ! More...

With having 2 dogs that nicely put, have issues, it's hard to trust someone to walk them together as they can be a handful to say the least. From Kimberleys initial meet and greet visit, both dogs calmed quite quickly towards her. Betsie can be very anxious when meeting new people and dogs. She was the one that amazed me the most. As both dogs gave their approval, they went out on their first walk within a couple of days of that visit. There was no barking when they set off and both dogs were happy to go. This has been the same on every walk. I've already noticed a difference in Betsies behaviour, shes much calmer on the lead. I would highly recommend Kimberley and her services, shes very good and very calm with my dogs and has a natural way of easing their unwanted behaviour. Most definately a 5* service More...

Kimberly is amazing with our dog. On their first walk together Kimberly took everything at her pace which even involved a little sit down! Our dog is very nervous and I felt so at ease with Kimberly. Our dog came back wagging her tail and very happy! Thank you so much for having the patience and taking things slow ❤️🐶🐾 More...

Kimberley often walks or pops in to see Buster & Buddy when we are away for the day or on holiday. I trust Kimberley 100% with my boys. She treats them as she would her own & only wants what’s best for them! She has taken time to get to know Buddy’s naughty tricks & how to calm him down & get his attention! She will take time to clean up any mess that the naughty pups have left (Buddy use to be a pro at destroying anything left in sight) & make sure they have water & treats before she leaves. Kimberley is also there for advice whenever needed! 💙 More...

Q&As

Exploring out in the fresh air with dogs by my side, need I say any more!

As an owner of 2 reactive dogs myself, I understand how difficult it can be to access services that are willing to cater to their needs. With my experience and dedication, I wanted to be the person that could provide that, because reactive dogs matter too ?

I am experienced, reliable and trustworthy - with a host of happy clients who are living proof of that ?

We follow all COVID-19 rules and requirements set out, such as masks/social distancing where required and necessary.
Meet and greet visits can be done outside in an enclosed garden if available.

Services

All dog walks are on a solo basis, meaning only your own dog(s) will be walked at any one time
This enables me to accommodate dogs with reactivity or behavioural challenges. You can be certain that your dog’s needs have my undivided attention.
Walk locations will vary depending on your dog’s needs, but we will always ensure your dog safely enjoys their walk, no matter where we are.
This ensures your pet/s will be returned home tired and content after a good mental and physical workout!

Puppy-hood is one of the most important times in your dog’s life, where they learn to socialise with other animals and people appropriately and be exposed to many of the sights and sounds of every-day life, helping them become happy and well-balanced adults.

I am available for puppy home visits initially to provide them with a necessary toilet break, feed them lunch if required, clean any mishaps that may have happened and give them some love, fun and attention to break up their day.
We can then progress onto short walks to begin to introduce them to the world around them and all it entails during this crucial stage of their development.

For some dogs, those who are reactive in particular, walks in the outside world are too overwhelming and scary. Those dogs don’t need to miss out on fun though.
I can visit your dog(s) in their own home and surroundings to break up their day and provide them with some fun enrichment games to tire them out.
Mentally challenging mini training games are extremely useful to tire out a dog without leaving the house and as a member of the Absolute Dogs games based training academy, I have a whole host of these fun little games we can play together.
Of course, I’ll always let you know what we’ve played so that you can continue the fun in your own time if you choose
