Because Not Every Dog Fits the “Easy Walk” Mould
Not every dog experiences walks in the same way. Some dogs need a calmer, more thoughtful approach to feel comfortable and supported when out and about.
At Jennie’s Positive Paws, I offer behaviour led dog walking in South Woodham Ferrers for dogs who benefit from extra understanding. Walks are planned around the individual dog, with structure, space, and care to support calm behaviour, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.
Dog Walking With Jennie
I provide reliable weekday dog walking in South Woodham Ferrers, offering structured solo walks tailored to your dog’s confidence and comfort level. Each walk is guided by behaviour rather than pace, with a balance of mental stimulation and physical exercise.
Whether you are looking for a regular walking slot, short term support, or cover when routines change, you will receive calm handling, kind communication, and consistent care. Your dog is always treated as an individual, with their wellbeing at the heart of every walk.

Here's how it works...
Step 01
Enquiry and Intro Chat
First, we’ll have a friendly phone chat to discuss your dog, their needs, and your goals. This helps me understand if I’m the right fit for your dog and schedule.
Step 02
Meet and Greet
Before regular walks begin, we’ll meet in person at your home for a short 20–30 minute introductory walk and consultation.
Step 03
Walking Support
Once your dog feels comfortable and I’ve gathered the information I need, we’ll start regular walks. Every walk is structured, safe, and adapted to your dog’s emotional needs.

Jennie helped me understand my dog’s fear-based reactivity and gave me the confidence to handle it. Her support changed everything, no stress, just progress.

Really lovely girl who knew her stuff. Managed to get my very difficult puppy walking on a lead on first attempt. Definitely recommend
Tiff from Stow Maries
Testimonial
Jennie helped us with our rescue Border Collie, offering great advice that our dog responded well to. After a walk, our dog’s lead walking improved, and she followed up with a helpful email. Highly recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Weekday solo walks start from £15 for the first dog (price depends on route length and routine). There are discounts for the 2nd and 3rd dogs from the same household. Message me on WhatsApp and I’ll confirm what fits your dog best.
Yes—when dogs are from the same household and walked on the same visit, the 2nd and 3rd dogs receive a discounted rate.
I work in and around South Woodham Ferrers only—local routes, greens and quiet spaces. If you’re just outside SWF, send me a WhatsApp message and I’ll let you know if I can help.
Solo walks for routine exercise and enrichment.
Puppy comfort visits for toilet breaks, calm sniff time and gentle handling practice.
Yes—this is a speciality. I choose quiet routes, use space and choice, and keep dogs under threshold. Muzzle-trained dogs are welcome; I’ll plan distance and pace so your dog can succeed calmly and safely.
By default, walks are solo. If you’d like safe social practice, we can arrange carefully matched parallel walks with your consent when your dog is ready.
From short comfort breaks to longer decompression walks—length is set to your dog’s needs and the local route. I’ll suggest a starting duration and adjust as we go.
You’ll get a quick message after each visit and usually a photo. If we’re working on specific goals, I’ll add brief notes so you can keep progress steady at home.
Yes—fully insured and DBS checked. Keys are coded and stored securely. I can also use a key safe or smart lock if you prefer.
Welfare-first handling only: flat collar or well-fitted harness and a fixed-length lead. No aversive tools. I can advise on fit and bring spare kit if needed.
Safety first. In unsafe conditions we switch to enrichment/home visits (toilet break, sniff games, settle practice) or reschedule—whatever is kindest for your dog.
Yes—these can be pre-agreed pop-ins or a simple daytime check-up to let your dog into the garden, refresh water, feed, and give owner-provided medications. This can be added for a small extra charge and I’ll follow your routine closely.
Message me on WhatsApp or call. I’ll confirm you’re in the South Woodham Ferrers area, learn about your dog, and set a simple start date—no long-term commitment.
If plans change, just let me know as early as possible. I’ll share the current notice period and any fees when you book so everything is clear and fair.
