Oriana - Solo Dog Walker 
 
Oriana has a rescue German Shepherd called Fina, she has done lots of training with her and attends our German Shepherd training classes.  She has grown up with dogs and owned German Shepherds for 18 years.   She enjoys walking so decided it would be nice to walk the dogs.  Oriana enjoys working with the puppies.

Zoey - Group/Solo Dog Walker
 
Hello, my name is Zoe.
I have always had a love of animals since a young age and have spent the last 8 years working weekends at a cattery 🐈 🐈‍⬛
A few days before Christmas 2020 we suddenly lost our staffy cross, Mo at the grand old age of 15. We loved her for 13 years after adopting her from EDCH and she was the best first dog we could have asked for ❤️
Currently, I have a black cat called Dotty, a Staffordshire bull terrier called Blu, and a Romanian rescue dog called Shyla. Blu & Shyla have met some of your dogs on group walks 🦮
I am really enjoying walking your dogs and learning from Claire. 



 
Olivia - Group/Solo Dog Walker
 
I’m Olivia and I have been a dog walker for over 3 years, I provide fun and enriching solo walks, I always include some basic training and encourage lots of sniffing to ensure your dogs finish their walks feeling mentally stimulated aswel as physically! I started my career as a Dog Groomer 10 years ago after completing my Animal Care course at Elmwood College, I have also worked in boarding kennels and day cares. I’m now loving dog walking and I’m currently studying towards my Diploma in Canine Behaviour with ISCP. I’m a Mum to my 2 beautiful children and 2 adorable cats, I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment so I am very fortunate that I am able to fulfil my love of dogs by working with them!

Kirsty - Solo Dog Walker

Kirsty has 3 Terrior dogs and has owned many large breed dogs. She is very experienced and deals with some of the stronger dogs and dogs who can be reactive.
She does lots of training with the dogs out on walks.

Diane - Solo Dog Walker

Hiya, I’m Diane and have been around animals pretty much all my life, owning various dogs throughout. At the moment, I have two dogs. Blu is an 8yr old Whippet and Mistie is an 8yr old Bosnian rescue who came to us around 6yrs ago now. We think she is part Mountain Dog part Spaniel. Both 100% loveable and daft.

I own and operate a Pet Supplies home delivery business within the West Lothian Area and absolutely love Walking, the outdoors and Dogs so when I saw that the Dugs Paws team were looking for a Part-Time Walker I couldn’t resist. This to me is the perfect home / work life balance for me where I can work alongside your Dogs whilst running my own business flexibly.

Nicole - Solo Dog Walker / Trainer

Hey! Im Nicole. I currently have an almost 3 year old male Belgian Malinois called Cain that I've had since a puppy. You may have seen us training around in the Bathgate area or know us from Obsidian K9 Academy where I chaired for the Scotland team! We have been training IGP/IPO obedience and tracking since day dot, and I have a new sport prospect arriving in the near future to start training PSA sport with.  As much as I love dog sports and high drive dogs, I will never shun out specific breeds or issues. I am always keen to learn more and excited about the opportunity to meet, walk and help your dogs!
