Senior Snifaries – Gentle One-on-One Walks for Senior Dogs

As dogs move into their senior years, their needs naturally change. Senior Snifaries are gentle, one-on-one enrichment walks designed specifically for older dogs who benefit from moving slowly, sniffing freely and being supported at their own pace.

This service is an extension of the same calm, caring philosophy behind Dogs of the North grooming — always prioritising wellbeing, patience and individual care.

*Dogs must be comfortable walking calmly on lead and not display aggressive behaviour towards people or other dogs.

What Makes Senior Snifaries Different?

• One-on-one walks only (never group walks)

• Slow, sniff-led pace

• No rushing, no KPIs, no pressure

• Walks adapted on the day to suit your dog’s comfort and mobility

• Ideal for senior dogs, anxious dogs or dogs with reduced confidence

Who is This Service For?

Senior Snifaries are suited to older dogs who enjoy gentle exploration and benefit from calm, predictable experiences. Walks focus on enrichment rather than distance and may include frequent pauses, sniffing and rest.

Senior Snifaries are designed specifically for senior dogs who benefit from slow, calm, one-on-one walks. Walks are guided by the dog’s comfort on the day and may be shortened or adapted if signs of fatigue, stiffness or stress are observed.

This service is not designed for high-energy dogs requiring vigorous exercise.
