About Our Story
Hello, I’m Victoria , proud founder of Duffer Doo’s Canine Services and lifelong animal enthusiast.
After 15 years of dedication (and plenty of character-building!) in the NHS, I swapped pens and office wear for muddy boots and wagging tails. In 2018, everything changed when I welcomed my Boxer dog, Duffer, into my life. Her outlandish comedy routines, boundless energy, and love for adventure reminded me of what truly lights me up: dogs and their wonderfully quirky ways.
What started as long walks and laughter with Duffer soon grew into a mission. I wanted to give other busy people peace of mind, knowing their dogs were cared for, exercised, and loved while they worked. That’s how Duffer Doo’s began, a local dog walking service that quickly grew from strength to strength.
But I didn’t stop there. In 2024, I became a Certified Dog Trainer and Reactive Dog Specialist, determined to help even the most challenging pups (and their humans). From guiding new puppy parents through those chaotic early days to supporting owners of reactive dogs in rebuilding trust and joy, I’ve seen first hand how the right approach can transform relationships.
For me, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re teachers, healers, and partners in adventure. And I’m here to help you and your four-legged friend thrive together.
Our Services
What Happens on Our Walks
All our walks are interactive with our professional team of dog walkers. We are strong believers in using the environment as natural enrichment so whether it be a group of rocks, some old tyres , fallen trees or water play, we can guarantee your dog will have the best time with us, all whilst using their brains to problem solve.
We build and practice on basic manners sit, stay, taking treats nicely and loose lead walking. We play a multitude of games so their focus is always on the handler and they will come home learning a trick or two!
Our Services
1-2-1 Dog Walks
Perfect for dogs who prefer a quiet walk or need a confidence boost.
Whether your dog is reactive, elderly, or just not into socialising, our 1-on-1 walks are gentle, enriching, and tailored to their pace.
Group Walks
For social, dog-friendly pups who love adventure with friends!
Dogs must first complete our 1-2-1 service to be eligible. These walks are full of fun, structure, and supervised play in safe, stimulating environments.
What Happens on Our Walks
Not just a walk — it’s a brain and body workout!
Our professional walkers use the natural environment for enrichment: climbing rocks, jumping over logs, water play, and more. Dogs practice sit, stay, loose lead walking, and even learn new tricks — all through fun and games that keep their focus on the handler.
Training Packages
All our packages are tailor made to you and your dogs needs on a 1-2-1 basis – no classes – no one way fits all rule.
Your pup will learn all the basics from sit, stay, down, settle, through to recall, loose lead walking and how to be a pro in the big wide world.
Does your dog seem to have forgotten all the basic commands and all the hours you put in to puppy training gone out of the window? Have they become unruly on the lead and pulling to get to every smell, dog or squirrel? Then this is the package from you! Your dog will learn new focus games to keep their attention on you and you'l soon have the of your dreams walking at you side once again.
Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs, people or any thing that passes them by? Have they made you anxious and you now no longer enjoy your walks? In this package we deep dive into when the behaviour started and understanding their triggers. We will then build a training package specifically for your dogs struggles and help to rebuild your relationship together.
