A new service coming soon ...
because sometimes dogs need a little more ...
Rumbles are introducing dog running alongside our daily dog walking schedule.  Dog running appointments will be for one hour in the evening on a first come first served basis 3 days a week.  No regular booking needed.

Russ is an experienced runner who is a qualified England Athletics Running Coach and carries full insurance.  A vet consent form must be completed by your vet before any running appointments can start.

Dogs will receive a 15 minute warm up and cool down walk along with up to 30 minutes of running.  All dogs will be built up slowly to the goal of running 30 minutes at a comfortable, steady pace.  Each dog will be continually assessed and speeds adjusted accordingly during any run.  Water will be carried at all times.
