Does your dog struggle with reactivity around other dogs and need a calm, understanding handler for their walks?

Maybe your senior dog enjoys a slower, more relaxed pace these days.

Or do you have a young dog bursting with energy who thrives with focused, individual attention?

I’m Derek, also known as Del, and I run Finchley Dog Walker. I offer personalised, one-on-one walks in the Finchley and Muswell Hill areas, tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Every walk is fun and enriching, and it starts right from your front door – no stressful car rides or crate time required.

Let’s make their walk the highlight of their day!

Not every dog thrives in a group walk. Some love it. Others find it stressful. Both are completely normal.

One-to-one walks are often a better fit for:

• Older dogs who want a calm, steady pace
• Puppies who need space to learn without being overwhelmed
• Shy or nervous dogs who build confidence best one step of a time
• Reactive dogs who need a quieter, more predictable walk
• Dogs in training who benefit from consistent handling and clear routines

I specialise in one-to-one dog walks for dogs who need a calmer experience. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs, so they feel safe, settled, and able to enjoy their time outside.

I use positive, reward-based methods only. If your dog is already on a training plan, I’ll follow it and reinforce the same cues and routines during our walks.
