welcome to good boy walking club
where every dog is a good boy.
I specialise in private walks for reactive dogs and pullers with continuous training built into a tailored walking plan in Leith, Edinburgh.
quality me-time
private walks
experience the most personalised care for your best friend with the private dog walking service, available for 30 or 60 minutes — great for reactive dogs or heavy pullers who would prefer a little more individual attention.
double trouble
pair walks
if you have two dogs OR if your dog is not reactive toward other dogs, pair walking is the perfect service, providing both exercise and socialisation!
puppy care
puppy visits
puppies require special care and attention!
puppy visits include potty breaks, enrichment-focused playtime, and basic training reinforcement.
I offer 30-minute visits tailored to your puppy's needs, providing the attention and care they need.
FAQ
what services do you offer?
I provide a range of services, including private and pair dog walks, and puppy visits for enrichment and basic training. Check out the services page for more details!
how do I book a dog walking session?
First, book a free initial consultation here. From there on, we can discuss what service would work best for you and your dog and book you in for your preferred date, time, and service. You'll also be added to a WhatsApp community where you can access announcements and schedules.
what areas do you service?
I primarily service Leith and the surrounding neighbourhoods (roughly EH6/7/8). If you're unsure whether we cover your area, feel free to reach out for confirmation!
how long are the walks?
I offer walks in both 30-minute and 60-minute durations, tailored to your dog's needs and energy levels.
what happens in case of bad weather?
I monitor the weather conditions closely. Walks will continue unless there are severe weather warnings. In such cases, I will communicate with you ASAP (via our WhatsApp community) to make alternative arrangements (e.g., rescheduling, indoor enrichment, etc.).
can I meet you before booking?
Absolutely! I offer a meet-and-greet session to ensure both you and your dog feel comfortable before starting my walking service. Book your free initial consult here.
what should I provide for my dog's walk?
Please provide a collar with an ID tag and lead, any specific accessories (e.g., harness, head collar, muzzle, etc.), and instructions for your dog's behaviour, health, or any other preferences. If your dog is fussy, it would help for me to have treats they like.
what is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. For last-minute cancellations, please refer to our policy.
what are your credentials?
I have a PhD in anthrozoology (human-animal studies) from the University of Edinburgh, and am certified in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University. I keep up to date with my training so that I can provide services based on the latest research and ethical frameworks.

Snoopy
Snoopy has been absolutely loving his walks with Maythe. He’s a bit of a character, but she manages him with the perfect balance of care and firmness, and I can tell that he really enjoys the time he spends with her. Maythe has also helped with canine enrichment activities for when the weather is too poor for Snoopy to want to go outside, and he seems much happier for it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maythe to anyone who is looking for a capable dog walker/carer in the Leith area, and I’m sure Snoopy would make the same recommendation (if he could speak English).
