I now have availability for Training walks one to one to include walking to heel, down, sit, stay, recall and general obedience training during walks. I have 25 years experience of walking and handling German Shepherds
I have owned 5 German Shepherds and currently have a 3 year old male who I train during walks each day
I am fully insured and DBS checked and hold the NarpsUk Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business Course Certificate (Which also includes first aid). I also hold a certificate in Pet Psychology.
I work on my own walking dogs one to one or accompanied by one other dog allowing each dog to receive my individual attention. I own a large estate car fitted with 2 dog crates of the highest safety, accommodating small, medium and large dogs.
I also have good experience of walking and caring for reactive dogs.
I offer walks for half an hour, 45 minutes or one hour and can arrange to meet you for a free consultation to discuss you and your dog's requirements, likes, dislikes and tailor walks to suit their needs. While in my care all dogs are treated like my own with plenty of love, care and attention. I have a recommendation from my vet confirming I am a caring and excellent handler of dogs and also have many 5 star reviews.
When your dog is wet I will towel dry them after their walk, in addition to walks I offer a pop in service, a sitting service in your home and a dog taxi service.
You can be sure that you are choosing a professional dog walker with all the correct checks.
About me:
I have always enjoyed owning, walking and caring for dogs since I was a child, I have owned 5 German Shepherd's over 25 years and currently own Luca a 3 year old German Shepherd and have also enjoyed walking many other breeds.

Derrick has been a brilliant Dog walker for my bouncy Labrador for a couple of months while I have been unable to walk her. Derrick has a quiet, gentle approach which my dog responds to really well. My dog is young and full of energy and can take off to chase cats but Derrick has managed her without getting in a sweat. Derrick is never late! and he just walks one dog at a time. I think Derrick is Ashford's best kept secret and you can count on him to look after you dog well. He's a real find. Thanks Derrick!

I cannot recommend Derrick highly enough. He is an absolute lifesaver. We needed someone to walk our large breed dog at short notice as we were going away. Derrick is very polite, organised and reliable. There was a heatwave at the time and Derrick was very conscious about that and put the dog's wellbeing and safety first. Very good communication. Derrick was accommodating my requests which is highly appreciated. Thank you for everything. I would definitely be using Derrick's services in the future.

Derrick was very trustworthy and professional from the very beginning. He visited our house and met our dog a few days before his first walk. Derrick's communication was excellent and followed everything asked for perfectly. He had excellent knowledge of the local area to take our dog on his usual walk and clearly walks with animals in a calm, understanding and rewarding manner. Would defintely recommend,

We have used Derrick many times over the last few years to look after our two dogs. He is trustworthy, on time and consistent with his visits and walks. We trust him completely to take care of both dogs, one of whom is nervous and the other is a little hyper. He always knows his way around them, plays with them and sends us photos to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend him!

I have been using Derrick since January 2023 for our rescue Labrador/Retriever. He is always punctual and never lets you down.
Our rescue was very nervous at first and quite jumpy. Now going on regular walks with Derrick he runs to the hallway when he hears his car pull up and is excited to go and I have to wrestle to get his harness on ready. Derrick has a lovely calm manner with Ajay and I feel he has a reliable safe pair of hands with our boy. Totally recommend him.

Derrick provides an outstanding dog walking service for us & our young Border Collie. He is punctual, professional and most importantly extremely caring and understanding of our pup’s needs. Our dog can be very anxious around new people/dogs and Derrick really had time and patience to build a special bond with him. It’s waggy tails all round when Derrick visits now! Derrick also always lets us know how his walk has gone and our pup is back settled which we really value when we aren’t at home! Thanks Derrick!

Having an anxious dog is very difficult when it comes to finding dog walkers, but luckily we found Derrick!
Derrick has taken the time to get to know our Dog and work with him to help him feel confident and comfortable when in his company! Derrick always makes sure to keep us updated and sends photos when he is with our boy which is a huge relief as we can carry on with our day without any worries!
Thank you Derrick for being so patient and kind with Jett! We are so grateful we found you! I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a great Dog walker!

My Dog is stranger reactive so I knew it would take quite a bit of effort for her to trust someone new. Derrick has been so patient with us, joining us for walks in the beginning to get her used to him being close by and being very slow and calm on all of their interactions. Having taken the time to build the trust with her, she now wags her tail when he comes to the door for their weekly walk and happily walks out with him each time.
Would definitely recommend Derrick as a Dog walker and will continue to use his services in the future.

At the drop of a hat and due to unforeseen circumstances, Derrick was able to fit us in and walk Charlie for a period of 6 weeks, until I was up and back on my feet again. Charlie loved going for walks with Derrick and even when we see him now, Charlie goes mad for him. Derrick was always on time and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would highly recommend Derrick

Derrick has really helped us with the reactivity of our 2 year old French Bulldog. He takes the dog out by himself and has always listened to our instructions and suggested areas where the dog still needs improvement etc.
Derrick is extremely flexible, reliable and diligent, we couldn't ask for more.

We used Derrick to walk our German Shepherd whilst we were away on holiday for a week.He made every effort to fit around the timings we needed even though we gave him such short notice. He was very professional,thorough and most importantly was great with our dog Nico! He sent updates daily so we could see the fun they were having on the walks and we came back to a calm and satisfied doggy. Can't thank Derrick enough and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Derrick has been visiting my 2 dogs for a couple of months and he is absolutely fantastic! One of them is particularly anxious but was automatically so calm around Derrick straight away. He has a very caring and thoughtful attitude towards them, is prompt with time keeping and I feel very comfortable knowing that my 2 dogs are in great care and are safe. I couldn't be happier with the service and care that my dogs now receive. Would highly recommend Derrick!

Derrick takes my lab out twice a week and ensures that he comes back tired out, meaning well exercised. Derrick is flexible and has moved things around to suit when I have had appointments meaning my Lab does not miss out. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Derrick Yalden has been a long standing client at our veterinary practice.
I have known him now for more than 15 years, and during that time has proved to be a caring and conscientious pet owner. He always attends appointments and puts the health and welfare of his animals first. He is a sensible and intelligent man.
As well as being caring, he also shows excellent handling of his animals - I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any role involving the care of dogs.

Derrick has been absolutely amazing looking after my 2 year old rescue boy.
He has taken on board all of the advice from my behaviourist and I can whole heartedly say my dog loves his walks as well as the time Derrick takes to play with him before and after. My dog is reactive towards other dogs on the lead and I have been worried in the past about someone else walking him but don't have that worry with Derrick. Would highly recommend him to anyone, even those with bigger reactive dogs like mine.

Derrick is a lovely person to deal with, He made me feel confident in leaving him with my dog who is usually nervous around new people.
Derrick took the stress out of how I could get my dog to the vet for his vaccinations and giving him the daily exercise he needs when I am not able to. 5 star service
