Our story

Started in 2011 with a dad, his kids, and the neighbour's kelpie.

What started as a Saturday morning ritual is now Newcastle's most loved family run dog walking crew. Fifteen years later, we're still doing the same thing.

"We've never met a dog we couldn't walk properly. The wild ones just need a little more time."

Richard
Founder, Wagzies Walkies
Why Newcastle owners choose us

Three things every Wagzies walk gets right.

01

Real leash work.

Pullers, lungers, mid walk freeze ups. We've worked through every version. Calmly, no gimmicks.

02

The same handler, every walk.

One of us, not a roster. Familiar voice, familiar pace. The calm walks owners brag about.

03

Insured, police checked, bonded.

Public liability and pet handling cover. National Police Check on every walker.

How it works

Three steps and your dog has a walking buddy.

01

Call Richard.

Two minute chat about your dog, your suburb, your schedule.

02

Free meet and greet.

Richard pops round, meets your dog, we walk together.

03

We walk, you relax.

Once off, weekly or daily. Photo updates every walk.

What owners say

Fifteen years of happy tails.

"Our rescue Charlie used to drag me down the street. After two months with Richard he walks beside me. I don't know how they did it but I'm not asking questions."
Sarah M.Hamilton, Charlie the Kelpie cross
"Three dogs, three personalities, and Richard handles them like he's been their mate for years. Photos every walk, prompt every time. Wish I'd called sooner."
Dan T.Cooks Hill, Otis, Minnie and Pickle
"Found Wagzies after two other walkers gave up on our reactive girl. The meet and greet alone changed her week. We've been booked weekly for four years now."
Jess K.Charlestown, Maple the Border Collie
