The Dottie Difference
Dottie isn't just the name behind Dottie PAWS, but the inspiration why it exists.
Living with a clever but extremely sensitive and reactive dog, changes the way we looked at behaviour, care and walking.
Dottie often struggled with busy environments and group walks. Dottie PAWS was created for dogs who don’t fit neatly into traditional dog walking models and owners who are looking for a more tailored individual approach.
Our services are also suitable for:-
-
Dogs who find group walks overwhelming.
-
Dogs who need quieter routes and predictable routines.
-
Dogs who prefer to sniff, observe and take their time.
-
Dogs who may need a little extra care and understanding.
-
And for the humans who love them.
One to One, Always
Project Name
-
Your dog will never be walked or transported with other client's dogs
-
No rushed transitions.

No pressure to “keep up”.
-
Just your dog, one-to-one care, and a pace that suits them.
Calm, Thoughtful Care
Project Name
-
We choose routes and activities that help dogs feel safe and settled.
-
That might mean a slower walk, fewer encounters, or more time spent sniffing and decompressing.
-
We watch body language closely and adjust immediately if a dog shows signs of discomfort.
-
It's about doing what feels right for your dog.
More than just a walk
Project Name
-
Physical exercise is important - but so is mental wellbeing.
-
That’s why enrichment plays a big role in home visits and quieter days.
-
Gentle scent games, exploration and calm engagement can be just as valuable as distance covered.
Real Life understanding
-
Dottie PAWS is inspired by lived experience - not theory alone.
-
Living with a sensitive dog taught us patience, awareness and the importance of listening.
-
That understanding is the primary reason why Dottie PAWS exists
