Meet Beth: A lifelong passion for dogs
My journey with dogs didn’t start with a business plan; it started with a lifelong obsession with our four-legged companions. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with various breeds, from high-drive working dogs to rescued souls who needed a bit of extra patience.
Before launching Beth’s Dog Walking Services, I spent years learning the subtle "language" of dogs—understanding the difference between a playful play-bow and a nervous stiffening, and learning how to manage pack dynamics so every dog feels safe. I’ve worked with everything from exuberant Spaniels who think every puddle is a swimming pool, to loyal Labradors who just want to be your best friend. My experience isn't just about walking; it’s about understanding canine behaviour, basic first aid, and the unique needs of different life stages, from puppy energy to senior strolls.
Ilaa and Milli look forward to Beth coming to visit them when I am at work. They get a snack and then have a good run around the garden especially Illa the black Lab. She is ball obsessed with Milli the mischievous Springer nipping at her heels! Bethany loves dogs but she has her limits as I am still waiting on her washing the dishes!
