Lucy’s Leads Cardiff

dog walking & daycare with a difference

At Lucy’s leads our main focus is your dogs mental and physical well-being.
We offer dog walking, daycare & home boarding.

Meet & Greet

Before we introduce a newcomer to the pack, we recommend arranging a Meet & Greet session.  During this time you can see if Lucy’s Leads is the right fit for your pup and while we get to know a bit more about them and how’d they’d fit in with us.

This is also a great way to learn about their unique personality, likes, and dislikes. We can also answer any questions you have about our Cardiff doggy day care services, pack walks or home

The information gained from this session will help us provide a tailored service.

* These sessions would typically take place in your home or at an agreed location to enable us to assess your dog.

Settling-In Session

This is a settling in phase where we slowly introduce your dog to a pack specifically chosen based on their particular needs and compatibility. The reason for this approach is to ensure your pooch isn’t overwhelmed and to help keep a harmonious group and maintain the ‘pack vibe’.

We will take your furry friend out on adventures along dog-friendly routes. We provide structured pack walks and a controlled environment regardless the setting, to enable all dogs to feel comfortable. These interactions can be huge steps towards them developing into better, more confident dogs. 

Structured Pack Walking

We’ll pick up, safely transport and walk your dog in Cardiff – ensuring they get all the benefits of mental stimulation, regular exercise and controlled socialisation with other pooches. After we’re done, we ensure your furry friend is cleaned before returning them home.

The pack is chosen by a carefully thought over selection process, meaning your dog is being exercised with other compatible and similar dogs.

Your pup will receive the basic training it requires during walks to ensure they’re well behaved in the pack . However, for more advanced training a serparate session will have to be booked.

* There can be a waiting period for pack walking depending on demand

Home Boarding

Home from home boarding

It’s not just you that deserves a holiday… Treat your pooch to its own vacation with our dog boarding Cardiff service.  It’s the perfect solution for occasions you’re away and can’t take your dog.

They will be treated as part of the pack and recieve the company, mental stimulation and attention they need while you’re away.

Before boarding, we will review your dog’s requirements and routine with you. If they have a favourite toy or exercise, let us know and we can incorporate this into walks and their stay and with us.

Puppy Services

Here to help every step of the way

Bringing a new puppy into your home can be a daunting experience. If you’re in the process of getting a puppy we can provide guidance on how to manage those critical first few weeks at home.

Our tailored sessions are great fun for you and your dog and they’ll see you develop a positive and fulfilling relationship with your puppy.

We have a range of services designed with you in mind and to cover all the basic essentials you need to care for your new best friend!

Specially Adapted Transport

The Lucys Leads Cardiff dog van provides your dog with their own personal and secure crate. Always ventilated which ensures the dog’s get plenty of fresh air and the vehicle remains cool. Every cage is fitted out with it’s own bedding so your pup can remain relaxed and comfortable.

We clean and disinfect the van after every walk using Parvo Virucide – killing any germs. We’ve even removed the panelling from the from of the van to maintain communication and contact throughout the journey.

Towels, fresh water and canine first aid kits are also kept on board too!

We can’t recommend Lucy’s Leads highly enough, if you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and capable dog walker, who treats all dogs in her care as if her own, look no further. Lucy is a pleasure to deal with and our dog Daisy always comes home happy and tired out from her walk.

Lucy is an amazing person, she is so caring towards both of my dogs, she has helped to give my grumpy old cocker spaniel a new confidence and love of life and also given my puppy cockerpoo confidence with other dogs. They both love their walks with Lucy leads

Well What can I say?! The bond between my little lexi and Lucy is amazing to see ? Lexi was so scared of men, the wind and other dogs etc., it was insane the fear she had. I could not go to the park and let her off the lead. I would worry that she would run off. She would constantly bark at people and dogs. Lucy is a genuinely lovely, kind person who i trust completely with lexi ? The leaps and bounds she has done for her is absolutely amazing and can't thank her enough. Plus Receiving all the updates and videos from Lucy throughout the day really puts me at ease and its great to see her loving her time! Everyone as noticed a massive change in lexi. She's still improving loads and cant wait for her to become even more confident. She loves her pack life ?❤ I highly recommend Lucy leads.?

Above and beyond service! Lucy has looked after our dog since she was a pup. From weekend stays to full week holidays she’s the only one we can leave her with in complete confidence and trust knowing she will be well looked after and also kept in check with her training and habits. Highly recommend! Thank you Lucy!!

Lucy and her team have been nothing but the best with our 2 year old Rottweiler, Merlin. We decided to look for an outdoor daycare service for him and Lucy was recommended to us. We discussed Merlins needs with Lucy and then met up so he could meet one of Lucy’s regular pack dogs. He then went on his first day and we could tell he enjoyed his time so much. Receiving all the updates and videos from Lucy throughout the day really put us at ease and it was great to see him loving his time! I drop Merlin off to Lucy in the morning before my work and he’s there for a full day - He goes on pack walks with Lucy throughout the day. Lucy is super flexible and always willing to accommodate. We can already tell that he’s learning better recall by being part of the pack and around other dogs with better recall. He comes home and he’s tried for the rest of the week! We really recommend Lucys Leads!

Lucy has worked with our 1 year old Lab Max for approx 6 months and in that time she has worked wonders with his training, his social skills and his general manner. Lucy is extremely professional, reliable and her services are great value for money - she really goes above and beyond for each and every dog. We plan to keep Max with Lucy for as-long as she will have us! I would highly recommend!!

So glad I’ve found Lucy ! She’s the nearest thing to a dog whisperer . She has brought on my Labrador so much where others have failed ! She not only dog walks but she mixes the dogs behavioural patterns with others in order to gain their confidence and bring the best out in them . If my dog could talk he would say the same , he so looks forward to her turning up !
