Hi, I’m Connor.

My passion for working with dogs grew out of real life, not a typical, neat “I’ve always loved animals” storyline.

It started with a dog who challenged everything I thought I knew about dogs, his behavioural struggles pushed me to learn properly, question generic advice, build patience, get comfortable doing the work when it mattered and most importantly grow and adapt personally to meet the challenge.

Not long after, I took on another dog with a very different set of challenges. Different problems, same lesson: consistency, understanding and adaptability.

Those experiences are what led me into structured training rather than google searches or trial and error, this includes spending the last 12-months in mentorship under a long-standing, highly respected professional trainer.

During this time I’ve built hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs, temperaments and real-world situations, learning how theory holds up when the lead is in your hand.

Alongside my ongoing mentorship, I have completed a Level 4 qualification in Canine Welfare and Training, a Level 3 in Canine Nutrition, I am canine first aid trained and fully insured.

I’m comfortable working across different tools or training methodologies, so support always stays focused on the individual dog in front of me.

North Yorkshire Dog Walking is the result of my journey so far: calm, capable, trustworthy care for owners who want more than a casual stroll.

Every walk is handled with structure, awareness and genuine attention to your dog’s wellbeing.
