Specialist Puppy Development Packages
Having worked with countless puppies through puppy classes, and having owned four beautiful stooge dogs that have helped hundreds of puppies early in their development, we know exactly how to build beautifully confident companions. We bring a huge wealth of knowledge on breed-dependent socialization, focusing entirely on what needs to be concentrated on at each critical stage of growth.
We work closely with you in the home to teach essential life skills and prevent common behavior issues before they start. This includes tackling puppy biting, toilet training, learning to settle calmly, and building independence to prevent separation anxiety later on.
Our structured packages combine private 1-1 coaching with purposeful training walk options to build rock-solid foundations before difficult adolescent behaviors kick in. All packages are delivered personally by Emma Hill BSc (Hons).

'Emma is amazing at what she does, so knowledgeable. She has helped me with training my golden retriever (still ongoing!) and is great when talking her for walks. Would definitely recommend!'
Training Walks - exclusively with Emma
Available exclusively for 1-1 clients. Emma takes your dog out personally to work on their specific struggles in busy real-world environments. We push towards the maximum effective dose of distraction during these walks to fast-track their progress, while you work at a suitable, managed level before we merge our training together.Our walks can include but are not limited to:
- Reactivity: Safely pushing the boundaries further around triggers to build real calibration.
- Loose Lead Walking: Getting them perfect in specific areas, teaching them exactly when they are allowed to sniff and go loose, and when they are not.
- Recall Mechanics: Working your dog thoroughly through a structured routine around high distractions.
- Confidence Building: For young or inexperienced dogs, confidence building with our stooge dog or in new places, around people.
'Emma walked my dog Rolo for many years, and has an amazing relationship with all the dogs she looks after.
Rolo obviously loved her time and develop brilliant social skills with Emma. It was only moving out of the area that meant we stopped using Muddy Mutt’s brilliant and very reliable service and I would recommend it to anyone.'
Solo Needs-Meeting Walks
Delivered by our trusted team, these individual walks are built entirely around maximum freedom and decompression.
They are designed for dogs that just need to get out for a really good explore and a mental reset. Our handlers keep your dog safely managed around any reactivity triggers and find suitable outdoor areas for full behavioral outlet—utilizing a medium or long line where appropriate to ensure total safety and fulfillment for dogs who are still learning recall.
Following an initial 1-1 assessment with myself to check this is the best option for your dog, we can provide these sessions for the overall welfare of your companion, often helping active training plans run more smoothly. While many owners can handle long lines successfully, these walks provide a vital option for very enthusiastic, strong dogs, or for clients who find it physically challenging or unsafe to provide these initial outdoor outlets on their own, allowing our trained team to handle the management for you.
Carefully Assessed Group Walks
We run structured group walks for long-term clients, but we choose carefully which dogs are included. Every dog must be thoroughly assessed by our team for behavioral compatibility to guarantee a completely stress-free, balanced environment.
These walks focus on safe, polite group dynamics and purposeful exploration, appropriate play styles, ensuring your dog enjoys fulfilling social time without the chaotic over-arousal found in standard pack walking services.
'Emma has been walking my girls for 4 years and is the best! They always come back happy and tired.
She also boards from our home when we're on holiday and treats our home with respect.
5 star service! Thank you Emma xx'
