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
