About

Cassy & Co was established in the Spring of 2013. Our aim is to provide a variety of countryside dog walks to those in the area of Drymen, Strathblane, Killearn and Balfron.

The majority of the walks are kept away from roads and livestock for the safety of the dogs and we observe the Outdoor Access Code for Scotland.

We walk small groups of between 2 and 6 dogs. A limit set by our insurance company, Cliverton. We also look to stay out of the way of other people as best we can (not everyone likes dogs).

We are fully insured.[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon_type=”selector” icon=”Defaults-paw” icon_color=”#333333″ icon_style=”none” icon_color_bg=”#ffffff” icon_color_border=”#333333″ icon_border_size=”1″ icon_border_radius=”500″ icon_border_spacing=”50″]Disclosure Scotland: We do show our DS Certificate on our initial visit. It is not strictly required for dogwalkers as it’s for those working with children and vulnerable adults.

However, many dogwalkers do provide it as it’s felt that, as we are in and out of peoples homes, it’s the best form of proof that there’s no criminal background or malicious intent. We so often view our dogs as part of the family; they’re not far off being considered children![/ultimate_icon_list_item][/ultimate_icon_list]

Credentials

Having a keen amateur interest in dogs and working with them I look to add to my experience by studying to become a dog trainer. A natural progression from walking as we meet many types of breed and personality. I choose to train with the Institute of Modern Dog Training as they are a very forward thinking group and are a great bunch of people to learn from.

I also train with the Karen Pryor Academy from the USA. Karen Pryor is a recognised world leader in the science and application of marker based positive reinforcement. Another great organisation to be involved with.

I definitely don’t know everything there is to know about dogs but I’m enjoying the learning curve and if you need any help or information then I can certainly point you in the right direction. I’ll keep doing continued professional development in the form of courses and workshops in the meantime.
