Olive's Walks

Vicki is professional and provides a very high quality service. After completing a day shadowing her I have learnt so much about safely handling multiple dogs and running a walking business. I feel so much more confident in my skills and am so grateful for the ongoing help Vicki has provided. I will absolutely be using this service again and would recommend to anyone looking to start up a dog walking business.

We have two sibling Dobermans which are both very strong and one can be dog reactive. We wouldn't entrust just anyone with their care. Vicki took the time to understand their individual personalities and offer ongoing training. Now both her and George walk them regularly both on their own and on pack walks and our fur babies love their walks and training with them. They also board them and they couldn't be in better hands with a totally home from home experience which makes it so much easier for us to leave them. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, and I have done on numerous occasions, Olives Walks.

Olive's Walks have been walking our Working Cocker Spaniel for over 6 months now and have been absolutely excellent from start to finish.As any dog owner, we wanted to be certain that our dog was safe and from the first minute George was both professional and extremely friendly. They take time to learn the dogs characteristics and slowly introduce them into a pack to ensure safety is number one priority at every step.Our spaniel now can't get out the door fast enough to go on his walks! The structured training walks have helped to make our spaniel less reactive to other dogs and even manage to tire him out (not easy for a young cocker spaniel!)We would highly recommend Olive's Walks for anybody looking for dog walking/training around Maidenhead.

I have recently taken part in Vicki’s shadowing programme. To better develop my experience, knowledge and understanding so I can best serve my clients.The day was full of experience, and knowledge. Vicki was extremely helpful. Offering a great perspective on things as well as invaluable advice. She led a great, jam packed day which allowed me to get hands on experience walking groups of dogs.To see the behind the scenes of what goes into Vicki’s business was truly inspiring and to see how well all the dogs in her care are with her and how far they’ve come within their individual journeys has been a privilege.All the dogs were brilliant and Vicki is doing absolutely outstanding things! Thank you Vicki, wishing you the very best with everything you do moving forward. Well deserved

I joined the lovely Vicki for a day shadowing her and her clients dogs for the day as I wish to do something similar myself! We talked through the intrinsics of the type of structured walking she offers and the constant training and care she provides during her walks! It was to the highest standard and you can just tell she cares so much and is so passionate about meeting the clients and their dogs needs. Offering a service which complements and enriches the dogs current training and requirements. Vicki is so lovely and down to earth, and even though she has a high standard of care she is super personable. It was great spending the day with her, wish I could have stayed for the whole week! Definitely get in touch with Vicki if you are thinking about hiring a structured and professional dog walker in the area

Cannot recommend olive walks more! I was given a great recommendation for a dog trainer by Vicki and alongside that training and olive walks, my dog is a completely different dog to walk. My dog loves Vicki and she is completely trust worthy. I love the fact I can check up on social media to see what my dog has been up to too! Highly recommend if you want a dog walker who cares for your dog and incorporates training rather than just let them run loose with no control.

Vicki and George are caring and professional. They are excellent at what they do and still always learning more about dogs. They take time to ensure the groups of dogs they walk can coexist happily and calmly. I trust them both completely to look after my dogs’ welfare, to walk them in a way that helps with their training and I know the dogs have a great relationship with them and fun! I couldn’t recommend Olive’s Walks more.

We have a very sweet, loving, but excitable dobermann puppy and we were struggling with her reactivity because she was very nervous having been at a daycare that was increasing her anxiety. We started our search for a dog walking company and were pulling our hair out trying to find someone that would take a young, large breed puppy and that we trusted to properly take care of her. We finally came across olives walks when we reached out to a local Facebook page.Olives walks have helped her build confidence and she's showing great improvements already. She's currently doing the one to one's until she's ready to join the other dogs which gives me reassurance that when she is ready, they'll know her properly and she'll get along well with the other dogs. We were lucky Olives walks were suggested to us, as we found no one else that offered the services they do and they are incredibly professional whilst offering amazing customer service.Special shout out to George! He turns up to collect her she can't get out the door quick enough and they already have a fantastic bond.

Olives dog walking service is run by a lovely caring natured professional who put the needs of the dogs first.Roxy absolutely loves going out on her pack walks twice a week and is always so excited for her next one.The structure of the walks is a great balance especially for Roxy as she is having to learn to lead walk and rewarded by free time for her good behaviour. This is a great tool for Roxy and she is becoming a much more adaptive dog to lead walking rather than pulling all the time.The dedication Vicki has put in to training and reinforcement is second to none and I can’t thank her enough for all the tips she has passed on to me. Thank you so much for having Roxy on your books.
