Meet the Dogaholics Team
Jade Brooks - Co Owner
Jade started out Dogaholics Dog Walking in June 2018 with the help of another walker within Wittering, she had experience with dogs of many shapes and sizes and owned a rescue Alsatian x Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Tibetan Mastiff at the time. The Alsatian was dog aggressive and at 40kg required a lot of patience and training.
After realising there was a need for a walker willing to take larger and reactive breeds Jade began to work with reactive and challenging dogs, (this would include aggression to cars, people, dogs, anything needed).
