Friday 11 May - Food on my dog, blog!

We found a great dog blog wirtten by Andrew Small about his dog, Tiger. They have a very special bond, Andrew is able to balance all sorts of food on top of Tiger's head and then photograph him! Tiger is a real gentle soul and sits and waits patiently to recieve his treat:) I'm not sure the Barnes dogs would be able to sit and wait with delicious bacon balancing on their nose, but I'm sure the Barnes dog walkers would give it a go :)  Check out Andrew and Tigers Blog to see the pictures and videos:)

Tuesday 24 March - Thatcher takes pet dog on roof!

Axel a five year old dog has been going to work with his owner sice he was a seven week old pup! This is no ordinary job for a dog as he spends most of his days perched on roof tops. His owner is a thatcher in the Norfolk area and has taught Axel to climb the rungs on a ladder all the way to top. He is carried down for his own safety. I bet some of the Barnes dogs would love to climb on the roofs of the indoor areas at the Barnes doggy day care centre :) Click the link to read the full story as reported by the Telegraph!

Thursday 19 March - Bruce's Dog Walking gets involved in the Barnes Community

This week Bruce's Dog Walking joined the Barnes Community Association. For some time Bruce's Dog Walking has offered a limited doggy day care service in Barnes. However, having a separate van in Wimbledon has allowed us to free up some space for new dogs in Barnes, and so we are now officially enrolling new dogs and dog walkers in Barnes! Bruce's Dog Walking is always keen to get involved in the community, in any way possible, and so suggestions are always welcome. If you live in Barnes or any of the other areas where we offer our dog walking and day care service, and know of ways we can get involved please don't hestitate to get in touch!

Tuesday 17 March - Bruce's Dog Walking now offers dog day care and dog walking in Wimbledon

We are very pleased to announce that the Bruce's Dog Walking doggy day care centre and dog walking service is now open to dogs in Wimbledon! Although Bruce's Dog Walking has had much interest from dog owners in Wimbledon over the last few years, we have always been intentionally slow in expanding to new areas to ensure that we do compromise on our service or the impeccably high level of care that sets us apart. In order to accomodate dog day care in Wimbledon, we now have a separate doggy van driving around the area. Our dog walkers in Wimbledon are very excited about the prospect of new local dogs joining the Bruce's Dog Walking pack!
