Members are cordially invited to our Sunday morning Wags Pack Walk. A delightful experience, these walks are complimentary for all Top Tails members.

Drawing from my expertise as an animal psychologist, I emphasise the significance of establishing a pup's role within the family unit: The Pack. A well-adjusted puppy, confident in its place, translates to a content and joyous canine companion. Our Sunday walks are designed to reinforce this sense of belonging and community.
​
To ensure personalized attention, I cap the sessions at a maximum of five puppies. Reach out soon to secure your spot and maximise the benefits of our program.
