Personalised Solo Dog Walks in Arlesey & Surrounding Areas

Personalised Solo Dog Walks

At Pick Up the Paws, we recognise that no two dogs are the same. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and individual challenges — which is why solo dog walks sit at the heart of what we do.

These one-to-one walks provide a calm, predictable environment tailored entirely to your dog, making them ideal for dogs who find busy or overstimulating settings overwhelming.

Completely Individual Attention

Your dog receives our walker’s full focus at all times. Each walk is carefully adapted to suit their pace, preferred routes, comfort level, and training goals, ensuring they feel safe, understood, and supported throughout.

Ideal for Dogs Needing a Calmer Experience

For dogs who are reactive, anxious, or easily overstimulated, group walks can increase stress. Solo walks remove unnecessary triggers, allowing your dog to relax, explore, and enjoy movement without pressure.

• Fewer distractions, reduced stress

• Controlled environments to support calm behaviour

• Consistent routines that build confidence and predictability

Enhanced Safety With Two-Walker Support

Some dogs benefit from additional handling support, particularly strong pullers, highly reactive dogs, or those still developing confidence in challenging environments. Where needed, we provide two-walker support to maintain safety, control, and reassurance at all times.

This allows us to:

• Maintain secure and confident handling

• Navigate complex environments comfortably

• Offer extra guidance and emotional support

Focused Training Reinforcement

One-to-one walks allow us to reinforce positive behaviours such as loose-lead walking, focus cues, and calm responses to triggers — all at your dog’s own pace in a low-stress setting.

Perfect for Puppies, Seniors & Dogs With Special Needs

Whether caring for a puppy, a senior dog, or a dog with medical or behavioural needs, solo walks allow every detail to be adjusted — from distance and pace to rest breaks — keeping your dog comfortable, safe, and content.

Building Trust & Confidence

A consistent, dedicated walker helps form a strong, positive bond. Over time, this trust reduces anxiety, builds confidence, and supports your dog’s emotional wellbeing.

At Pick Up the Paws, we are committed to giving every dog the time, patience, and understanding they deserve — because exceptional care should never be rushed.
