Hi!

let me introduce myself, I'm Steph, the owner of Floki's Friends Dog Walking and Training (FFDWT) and I am mad about dogs. all shapes and sizes, all breeds, the crazy ones, the grumpy ones, the relaxed and the full of-beans ones. No dog is the same and we wouldn't want them to be. 

Also, It would be rude not to introduce my business partner and best friend, Floki, the black labrador, the namesake of this company and probably the boss. He is the reason I started this new adventure.

Floki and I are the perfect pair, he is my adventure buddy, we run in the fells, swim in the lakes, paddleboard, mountain bike, camp, sit by campfires and we both LOVE our food. 

​

YPOU'VE PROBABLY GUESSED FROM THE PHOTOS, I love the great outdoors and At FFDWT we look for routes "off the beaten track" and mix up the walks regularly to keep it interesting and entertaining. When your dog is on an adventure with FFDWT they are given our 100% attention and care, and of course, they are treated like one of our own.

​

It is important to me that my experience with dogs is backed up by tried and tested training methods and CURRENT scientific research. THROUGH CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT i WILL ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND STANDARDS ARE MET, when working with you and your dog.

most of my training is being completed with The Institute of Modern Dog Training (IMDT) as THEIR values and methods align with THISE OF FFDWT. the IMDT promote force-free AND FEAR-FREE training methods. 

 

currently, from the IMDT I hold a Certification in Professional Dog Walking, Perfect Puppy and Loose Lead Walking.

 I'VE PREVIOUSLY trained TO a high STANDARD in first aid, including wilderness first aid, THESE SKILLS Have BEEN transferred AND i NOW HOLD A Canine First Aid QUALIFICATION  (I always carry a first aid kit on walks). 

​

FFDWT offers pack and solo walks, Adventure days, Wedding chaperone SERVICE and HOPEFULLY soon training sessions and workshops
