My name is Jackie. Since I can remember I have been passionate about dogs. My goal was to always to have a job where I was caring for animals in some way, but I never dreamt I could create a successful business like dogs Exclusive, that I love so much.

When I started Dogs Exclusive with my husband in 2008 we were just looking friends and family’s dogs when they went away. I soon realised that I had the passion and determination and more importantly the love of dogs and everything about them, to make a business out of it. We also have the perfect premises with land and all the aspects of what I would want if I was to leave my dogs with somebody when I went away

Myself and Jackie work really hard everyday to help make Dogs Exclusive a successful business, but it doesn’t always feel like work!
There are aspects of what I do I love and would not consider it work for example
Seeing the excitement on the dogs faces as I pull up in their home driveway to collect them for the day is such a lovely picture that stays in my mind
I love to see them running in the field playing in the morning as I sip a coffee but most of all Jackie and I love doing this business together and between us
We want the very best for every dog in our care as we know our owners wouldn’t expect anything less.

I love my job because I get the opportunity to love and play with all the dogs that come to dogs Exclusive.

I have learnt how to groom and train dogs through positive reinforcement.

I now have my own dog called Bat and she is leaning to do trick training.

I have been here for 2 years now. Everyone here is special to me and I love them all.

Hello, my name is Catriona and I’m a fully qualified dog groomer.

I have loved animals all my life, especially dogs. I went to university to complete an animal studies course and even today I still thoroughly enjoy learning about dogs and their behaviour.

I enjoy turning a scruffy or dirty dog into a beautiful and clean one.

Working at Dogs Exclusive is fantastic and I love turning up for work every day. Seeing so many dogs playing and enjoying the fresh air always puts a smile on my face.
