Hello everyone,
I'm Stephanie and live in North Petherton, Somerset. Working in the dog environment for thirty six years now.
I was introduced to Bark and thought what a great way to help a wide range of different breeds in and around my area.
Below your see two headings ("WALKING" and then "TRAINING") each followed by quotes with a short and basic description of what I do.
So please scroll down to the right heading for you and your dog/s and if you have time my short paragraph at the end.
WALKING 1hr+
Local to me £18 (upto 5 miles)
Out of area £22 (5 to 7 miles)
Out of area £25 (7 to 10 miles)
Out of area £25+ (10+ miles)
A daily rate of £30+ if your dog stays with me all day. I walk one main beautiful walk with 2 short but as lovely and beautiful local walks. Adapted to your dog/s need/s. Inbetween walks, RnR time with me in my home and garden. Fresh water, dog treats and fruit and vegetables always available as well as coffee n cake for any human who wishes to visit ;)
If in your area I will find the best walks possible or if you have a favourite then perfect!
I am ALWAYS on time or over the time arranged NEVER under time.
I'm all about your dog/s individual character and needs. Feeling safe in many different environments is always key.
I love what I do and give 100% ensuring he/she are having a good enriched time, also as important, when dropped back home, relaxed before I leave, knowing he/she are in a good balanced state of mind where I refresh water, a treat, but most definitely a hug and hopefully see you another day conversation ;) Time spent leaving is crucial, not emotional but relaxed. So your dog can rest awaiting your return.
TRAINING
Initial Consultation Hour = £75
40 minutes and 20 minutes (depending on situation could be 20/40).
Where you get the opportunity to have enough information and demonstration time for your situation to either continue on your own if confident to do so or perhaps from 1 to 6 sessions of training with me depending on how you feel.
Training Hr = £45
10 minutes 45 minutes 5 minutes
Where we meet and have a run through of how things have gone for you since last spoken also how the next 45 minutes will roughly go. Lastly, a conclusion to the session where hopefully a smile and to whether you need to continue with me or happy by yourself and I'm always then available on stephjune67 @gmail.com for additional information or any questions you might have regarding our anitial consultation.
PLEASE REMEMBER and worth saying again...
WHATEVER YOU DO ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR DOG.

FURTHER INFORMATION
Knowing precisely what you the client wants for your dog/s and how it will be achieved by you and myself comes down to spending as much time as you need to with me. And if you don't have that time but feel happy to continue after our initial meeting, to message me with email giving as much detail as possible is best.
To reassure you, I can send you pictures, videos of all the exciting places we visit, as well as what we are doing. You can ALWAYS call or video call me anytime whilst I have your dog.
Trust, honesty is vital and without doubt you will receive this from me. Attentiveness, discretion, pride, endurance, responsibility are my everyday attributes that I love.
Dog walks I do each day are everything from mine and your local areas, going to the beach, the quantocks, parks, dog friendly cafés its endless to where we will walk or train.
If behaviour training then I like to work in a specific way so it's easily transferable to you the owner/s. Orderpending what your dogs situation is to where we then continue to train.
I hope I can reassure you that I will always do as discussed and will always spend more time than less, doing everything at your dogs pace if walking or training alone. I'm always happy for you to come to my home too.
LATSTLY, This is an extremely small snippet into what I do so i very much look forward to talking/meeting with you to discuss any questions you may have.
* I hope to be able to arrange again group meetings in your local areas, where in small groups you gain more knowledge and experience out and about naturally with your dog/s meeting new friendly humans as well as canines;). And then you have a friend group that you can continue in and help each other for as long or as little as you like.*
It's a great way to get training experience with me and to then keep each other going once I've left ?
I will up date you once group sessions start.
***Please don't think me rude if I have not responded to you, reasons for this may well be due to...
A. Your not ready to hire just yet.
B. Your planning/researching. This is what you need to do. (Explained below it costs me to respond so impossible to do this for everyone).
C. You just want a quote. (Which is why i have added costs on my profile).
D. I might not have checked Bark requests until late that day/following day.
Please read through my whole profile to give you all information you need.
WHATEVER you do ALWAYS
ENJOY YOUR DOG
