Dog Walkies was established in May 2011 and has grown from humble beginnings, thanks to the referrals of happy clients. Our first client was a lady with a boxer, a classic example of a highly energetic breed that needs frequent exercise and socialization. Over the years, we’ve grown to love and help all breeds regardless of size or temperament, and are proud to say we’ve never turned down a difficult case, no matter how anxious, fearful, hyperactive, or aggressive the dog might be. We have the expertise to help.

T.J has helped us socialise our young GSD and given us all the tools to confidently walk him off lead, something we were totally unable to do before. His intuitive understanding of dogs and the pack walk brings out the best in owners and their dogs.
We were in the midst of the happiness of being engaged, when my fiancé and I quickly realized we had a massive problem with seemingly no solution. How on earth do you get two male Pitt Bulls, who have never met, and one of which is highly aggressive when confronted with other dogs, and another that gets anxious, to live in the same house? We were told there would be no hope. But after hearing amazing things about TJ through a friend, we booked a session and the dogs have been living together and behaving wonderfully since that very first day. We were extremely anxious going into it and being let down again, but the guidance offered by TJ not only directly with the dogs but with us as owners has resulted in our family being whole - and all the credit goes to TJ’s wonderful methods. We were well-educated on how to move forward with training, and encouraged to reach out with any questions or issues. Our little family can’t thank you enough.
Dear T.J.
We as a family would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us with our ridgeback and pitbull dogs that grew up together inseparable. As you know they were put together at 8 weeks old and for some reason one day got fed up with one another and started fighting with each other. You came to our rescue and with in 1hour session solved our issue and showed us how to be in charge and take the lead to be the Alpha.. The dogs are doing exceptionally well, It has been 3 months and they are so very happy together. We cannot believe the remarkable change in them as it looked like a hopeless situation. Thank you so much, I would recommend you any day.
Thanks to T.J for working with our dogs last night. If anyone is looking for an animal behaviourist then this is your guy. Huge positive changes with Blue and his fear aggression after just one session of trying to integrate our babies into one household.
After a ‘behaviourist’ placed doubt in our mind regarding the relationship between our rescued staffie (male,approx. 2 years) and rescued pitbull (female, approx. 2.5 years), we needed help! Having rescues can be a challenge on its own, but having two power breeds makes it that much harder. Well that is all a thing of the past! T.J came to our home and corrected difficulties we experienced within minutes. His love and understanding for dogs is inexplicable! He not only explained their behaviour but he made us aware of our own. He has since had our two over to meet and socialise with his pack and the results have superseded any and all expectations! Our two rescue pups will continue to walk and work with T.J to build their confidence, eradicate their fear and teach us to be the best pack leaders we can be. If you are reading this, my only advise is- ‘here is the person you have been looking for!!’
You have to see it to believe it! With Love- Tarren and Kim Miller
T.J helped me with my lock down shelter special. She’s adorable and harmless but was stalking other dogs in the park and then rumbling them. Their owners were angry with me. He showed me how to implement corrective behavior techniques and it’s working! Thanks T.J.
T.J and dogwalkies.co.za through a recommendation. I have an anxious German Shepherd who is not good with smaller dogs. Joined T.J on his pack walk 3 times a week and have seen an amazing transformation in my dog’s behavior and confidence.
I highly recommend T.J from Dog Walkies we adopted a young Pitbull with so many issues and T.J has been great helping us socialize her with other dogs and people. She's doing much better and she is now more comfortable with dogs and people she has made huge growth in the last two weeks thank you T.J
I searched far and wide to find just the right person to help our rescue doggo with her aggressive nature towards other dogs, which led us to a very experienced T.J from Dog Walkies! At the end of the very 1st session she was running around and playing with no less than 6 other unfamiliar large dogs. This was something that I had never experienced with her, and imagined a very long arduous journey ahead of us to get to this. T.J's calm and confident presence was super helpful, as well as the way that he talks you through the process as it happens. Highly recommend Dog Walkies!
What a great experience taking my 6 month pitbul for socialization and some obedience training. Recommended highly! Thank you T.J for your time and patience. Your Techniques are showing already when needed the most during lock down.
I am really impress with TJ and how he handled our Massey, we were left speechless when he got him socialising within 10minutes. We would highly recommend his services and greatful to have our own Ceasar Malan here in Cape Town. We will definitely be there for the dog walks and a couple more sessions.
