Specialised Solo Walks for Reactive and High-Energy Dogs

---

The Cost of The Standard Walk

If your dog lunges, barks, shuts down, or burns through frantic energy that regular walks can’t touch, commercial pack walks and crowded local parks are part of the problem, not the solution

Standard walks and group day care settings are based on volume

When multiple dogs are grouped together in high-stimulus environments, dogs that require more specialised care are forced to cope with chaos that they aren't equipped to handle. For reactive, anxious, or intense high-energy dogs, this approach triggers chronic stress rather than physical release

Strictly Private, Individualized Handling

Empire of the Hound provides a completely different standard of care

I don't offer group walks or off lead settings, all outings are a strictly private, single-dog service. Unlike many other walking services where different handlers may walk your dog, I am the sole handler for every walk. It's always just your dog and me

• Zero Group Exposure: In group walks your dog will often be walked with unfamiliar dogs. There are pack dynamics, uncontrollable variables, reactive triggers from other group members, and the fastest dog sets the pace
• Paced by Your Dog: We move at your dog's operational threshold. Route selection is carefully designed to manage environmental arousal safely
• Beyond Exercise: In addition to Enriching Outings I offer breed specific Instinct Play. High-energy dogs don't just need to burn calories, they need mental exercise and appropriate outlets for natural drives, and reactive dogs benefit greatly from activties that calm their nervous system and increase their confidence. As a certified canine behaviourist I have the skills to plan a wide variety of activities that are appropriate to your dog's needs, age, ability, breed and energy level
• Full Transparency: Every session includes live GPS tracking, detailed video/photo updates, and professional behavioural observations, all delivered straight through to your client portal.
