Anyone working with your dog should be insured and use a force free approach. For dog walkers this should mean that they introduce dogs to a group in a gentle way, they don't use slip leads, prong or e-collars, and inform you if your dog isn't coping in a group walk environment so that you can switch to solo walks or be referred to a different company if that service isn't provided by your current dog walker. 

Having worked in dog daycares myself, most are not designed for nervous dogs who struggle socially, some do not have enough structure and routine to support a dogs needs and can cause their own behaviour problems unknowingly. In my experience, most dogs do not cope well in a daycare environment as it can be too overwhelming. Daycares must also be licensed by Hull City Council.

With that being said, below is a list of walkers and doggy daycares that support dogs so that they are more comfortable and confident.
