# Waggs 'n' Woofs Ltd
Waggs 'n' Woofs is Bristol's premier dog training and walking service, founded by Lynn Lloyd—nicknamed "The Canine Queen" for her extensive experience rehabilitating rescue Dobermanns. Operating since 2006, the business has earned multiple accolades, including Bristol Prestige Awards for Dog Walkers of the Year (2020-2023) and Southern Enterprise Award winner status.
The company primarily serves time-pressed professionals and busy families who struggle to provide adequate exercise, socialisation and training for their dogs. They address genuine anxieties: guilt about leaving dogs alone, behavioural problems like lead-pulling and jumping, and poor socialisation affecting both pet and owner quality of life.
What genuinely sets Waggs 'n' Woofs apart is their "Training Trek Academy" model—they're emphatically not standard dog walkers. Rather than routine walks, they deliver structured, purposeful outings focused on three core pillars: Safety, Socialisation and Structure. Dogs learn loose-lead walking, group manners, and develop social confidence through carefully managed group experiences. This transforms problem behaviours whilst relieving owner stress and guilt.
Their approach combines practical training outcomes with emotional support for owners. Lynn's philosophy prioritises dog wellbeing above all else, drawing on years of professional rehabilitation experience. The business offers free consultations, suggesting a consultative, personalised approach rather than one-size-fits-all services.
This positions them as premium dog training specialists rather than convenience dog walkers, justifying their award-winning reputation in Bristol's competitive pet services market.
