Frequently Asked Questions About WalkiesBH Walking & Sitting - Bournemouth, Poole & Surrounding Areas

Is WalkiesBH Walking & Sitting suitable for reactive or nervous dogs in Bournemouth?

Yes, Pete at WalkiesBH has built a strong reputation working with reactive, anxious and nervous dogs across Bournemouth and Poole. Owners we hear from describe how he's successfully helped dogs with poor social skills and challenging behaviours. One covid-era puppy with significant reactivity was walking off-lead and socialising confidently within just a couple of sessions. Pete's calm, laid-back manner and careful matching of compatible dogs in small groups has proved particularly effective for anxious or unique temperaments.

How does Pete at WalkiesBH manage group walks for dogs with different temperaments?

Pete takes time to understand each dog individually and carefully matches compatible dogs together on group walks. He deliberately keeps group sizes small and never takes too many dogs at once, which creates a calmer environment. Owners of dogs with tricky temperaments, including a challenging English Bull Terrier and a rescue with initially poor social skills, tell us this thoughtful approach has worked brilliantly, allowing their dogs to thrive socially without becoming overwhelmed.
