About Tom
Hello there!

I'm Tom, a part-time PE teacher with an unwavering love for dog adventures. At the heart of my pack are a sweet, passive 7-year-old Whippet and a boundlessly energetic 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer. They accompany me as support dogs at school, becoming integral parts of our community. This unique role has allowed me ample time to delve into training, mastering crucial dog handling principles along the way.

Even my elderly cat joins in on the camaraderie, cuddling up with both dogs. Beyond my own companions, I've cared for a diverse range of breeds and temperaments—Maltese X Shitzu, Whippet, Greyhound, Husky X, Kelpie X, Moodle, and more. I'm open to any breed, irrespective of size or shape.

With a part-time schedule, I'm available Mondays, weekends, and throughout school holidays for various services—solo or partner dog walking, thrilling solo or group dog adventures, home visits, overnight stays, behavior training, lead walking guidance, and cat visits.

My extensive experience with my German Shorthaired Pointer has equipped me with invaluable insights into handling larger dogs on walks. If you're facing challenges during your walks, count on me to help guide you through it.

Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

Tom

Dog Training - Apr 23, 2024
Genuinely could not recommend Tom enough. After only 2 sessions our dog is showing massive signs of improvement for lead walking which is exactly what we wanted. Tom has gone above and beyond with Murphy, works with us to make sure training is appropriate for both her and us with realistic expectations all around. You will need regret engaging with Tom if for training or puppy adventures.

Tom was amazing. Lots of walks, cuddles, amazing interactions with his other 2 dogs. Regular updates /photos during his 3 night stay. Our boy has been waiting for Tom and Ragnar at the door since he dropped him off which is clearly a sign of a safe, comfortable and fun time where they bonded really well. Would 100% recommend Tom. Great guy, great dogs, nice big back yard and very communicative
