FAQs
Can I meet my dog walker before their first walk?
Yes. We will visit your home for a free consultation so you and your dog can get to know us. We will discuss you dogs personality, abilities and any other special requirements. This is also an opportunity for you to ask the team at Pennine Pooches any questions you may have.
How old does my dog need to be to go on group walks?
We require your dog to be at least 12 weeks old and fully vaccinated. Breed dependant, we will be able to advise when your dog will be able to progress from half-day care to full-day care.
What if my dog doesn't get along well with other dogs?
Once we have met your dog, we will be able to find an appropriate pack for them to join and we can then work on getting them used to other dogs. It is important to begin socialising your dog at around 12 weeks of age.
Do I need to provide you with a copy of my house key and are you insured?
If there is nobody home to answer the door we will require a copy of your key to pick up your dog. If someone is usually home, we will not require a key. For your peace of mind, Dean and Drew are both DBS checked and fully insured to care for your pet.
Does my dog need to be neutered?
To maintain the balance of the pack, we do require that any dog over the age of 18 months that wishes to join is neutered. Any dog aged between 12-18 months is welcome to join the pack but we will discuss when you plan on having them neutered during your free consultation.
What are your prices?
Prices start from £16.50. You can find our list of services by clicking here. For further details don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Will my dog go off-leash?
During your free meet and greet we will gauge your dogs recall and attention skills. Each customer will be required to sign an off-leash consent form. We do prefer to have all of our dogs off-leash at some point on the walk so that they can really tire themselves out.
How far will you travel to pick up my dog?
We try and keep our travelling time short between pickups so the dogs are in the vehicle for as little time as possible. We primarily operate in Rawtenstall but are willing to travel up to 6 miles away. We can discuss further details over the phone.
