⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"We originally sought out a professional dog trainer to help us with Murphy's reactivity to traffic and we ended up with so much more! Nath and the team at Walkys have been fantastic - listening to our concerns, catering to Murphy's needs and giving us so many helpful strategies to use at home. The added benefit of the membership including a full day of structured play and training (also allowing us to commute for work in the city) has been a game changer. Murphy's obedience and walking has improved phenomenally in just a few weeks. We love the care and enrichment Murphy gets from Walky's and would recommend them to anyone who wants help with their furry friend!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Walkys was recommended to us by a family member, and we are so thankful for that.

Our girl is a 9 month old rescue with a not so great start to life, but with the help of Walkys, she's come out of her shell so much and is becoming more and more confident. We know she loves going there because she gets so excited when we pull up at the Shellharbour store!

The trainers are super friendly and helpful and happy to have a chat during drop off. They are so understanding and accommodating to our dog's circumstances and I know she's in amazing hands while there. My colleagues all wait in anticipation for the video and photo updates!! It's great to see what she's been doing during the day and she comes home so wrecked that she puts herself to bed after dinner!

I took Paisley, my rescue Kelpie X to Walkies to help her with confidence and socializing, also to walk nicely on the leash. I receive several videos through our the day showing her progress. She looked very happy and engaged with her trainer. The girls do a great job and show genuine care for the dogs. Paisley was very excited and happy when I picked her up, like it was the best day of her life.

Suzan Holtznagel

We learnt more with Walkies than we were expecting. Will definitely use them again as our dog grows and changes. Would recommend to anyone moving forward

Stephen McGreal

Tammy at Walkys Shellharbour was amazing with our Great Dane x pup. The first 2 weeks he was very anxious and nervous on drop off, but by week 3 onwards he was running in so happy and excited.

Amber Poole

After one hour with Nath we have a changed puppy. Her roller training has significantly improved and the barking from both dogs has dramatically reduced.
