Quality Canine Capers!
At Happy Hounds Scarisbrick, we believe in offering more than just a standard dog walk. Depending on your dog's breed, age and ability, dogs can have widely different requirements when it comes to exercise and stimulation. That's why we offer an extended range of walking options to suit your dog' needs.
Rachel is also:
- Ofqual trained in Canine Care & Welfare
- Fully insured
- Long-term dog owner and lover
Our service covers Scarisbrick, Southport, Burscough, Ormskirk, Halsall and all the surrounding villages.
Epic 2+ hr Walks
Some breeds desperately need both physical and mental stimulation, many of a minimum of 2 hours. Without this, they can become bored and frustrated, leading to behavioural problems in and out of your home.
At Happy Hounds Scarisbrick, we offer the solution!
We do an epic, extended walk of a minimum of 2 hours, hosted in beautiful open countryside to stimulate your dogs body and mind, so you get a happy and content pup when you arrive home from being away.
1 hr Group Walks
Our standard walk service still offers quality walking in fantastic locations, ideal for your dog to stretch their legs and do that all important sniffing, stimulating mind and body, but for those who dont necessarily need the extended length of time or distance.
This can also be a great opportunity for younger dogs/puppies who need that all important socialisation and for older dogs, who need the canine interaction.
Big Days Out!
Not every owner has the time or ability to treat their beloved furry family member to a big day out.
At Happy Hounds Scarisbrick, we host monthly big days out, making the most of our fantastic countryside and nature reserves of West Lancashire and Merseyside, such as the beaches, sand dunes and pine woods at Ainsdale and Formby, that your dog will never forget!
These adventures are a minimum half day (4+ hours) and a real treat for your pup! But be quick as there are limited spaces!

About Us
My name is Rachel. I gave up the rat-race to live out my dream of running my own doggy business, enjoying canine capers in the countryside. I absolutely adore dogs! My own 2 beautiful girls are Honey the Labrador and Kiki the Beagle - They are spoilt rotten and very much our furry babies! My goal is to give every dog the same love and affection our own girls receive: to provide a fun-packed, stress-free and enjoyable experience, for all those we care for and to become every pups second mum!
Meet & Greet Appointments
To ensure the safety and happiness of all our members, we offer a meet and greet appointment at your home, to meet you and your pup, agree a care plan and confirm all the necessary arrangements, inlcuding handover of keys, alarm codes and where all your pups bits n bobs are kept.
A Meet & Greet appointment is free of charge.
The Boring Bits!
To ensure the safety, health, welfare and wellbeing of all our members, we should and do have some of the dreaded T&C's, which we request from all our regular and new members, to maintain a great experience for everyone visiting Happy Hounds.
Meet & Greet Appointments
For those who are new to Happy Hounds, we will need to arrange a free Meet & Greet in your home. enabling us to meet your beloved pups and discuss and agree your canine care needs.
To enable us to fulfil our walking services, we will also require a set of keys to your home, as well as any alarm codes and a tour of where to find your dog's bits and pieces.
All keys and information you give us will be safely secured and we are fully insured for any loss of keys or other incidents, should there be any issues.
Members Questionnaire
Happy Hounds will send you a link to a questionnaire, which will allow you to confirm all of the important stuff we need to know, to look after your pup and keep them safe and well. This includes questions such as whether you are happy for your dog to be walked off-lead, any dietary don'ts, any likes and dislikes. We require this initial questionnaire to be completed by all owners.
Dog Health
At Happy Hounds, its really important to us that we keep your dog healthy. We therefore request that you keep us up-to-date with any health issues your dog may have.
In addition, and for the respect of other dogs in group walks, we also advise the following:
- Up-to-date flea, tick and worming treatment
- The usual up to date vaccinations (details in questionnaire)
Payments
At Happy Hounds we do not do credit, therefore payment in full must be made either in a advance or on the day of your dog being collected. We will not be able to accept any dogs into our care unless payment has been made.
For those who use us on a regular basis, we are happy to set up a standing order for regular payments.
Payments can be made via bank transfer or good old fashioned paper money!
