Summer update!

(English website can be selected in the menu)

Of course, summer also brings high temperatures. Unfortunately, this entails risks for dogs. Dogs have no sweat glands and can only cool down by panting and through the soles of their feet. There is a risk of overheating from 21 degrees!

That is why I will take the following measures in the summer:

  • The well-being of the dog is our number one priority! If I notice signs of heat stress or if it seems better to shorten the walk, I will do so. The remaining time I will stay at home with the dog and ensure that he/she can cool down again.
  • I am extra alert to hot asphalt/hot stones.
  • I also keep an eye out for dangerous plants and insects (be sure to read my blog post about this!)
  • Busy playing/frolicking/running takes a back seat for a while.

I expect your understanding for this and of course hope that you will apply these tips yourself. Let's ensure that your dog has a safe, but above all fun summer!

My mission

Discover the power of your dog!

Hi! My name is Simone and I work as a dog trainer, and dog walking and sitting service in Delft.

Every dog has an activity that they really enjoy or are good at. When you know how to use this to your advantage, you can prevent and even cure problem behavior. Power Paws offers a variety of services to help owners and dogs with this. My mission is to help dog owners understand their dogs, so they can live a balanced and happy life!

Whether it's training, holiday dog sitting or dog walking, I'm happy to help you and your dog with whatever you need. It's never too late to teach a dog (and its owner) new behavior. My customized services are designed with you and your pet in mind to ensure results. I believe it's just as important to work with you as I do with your pet!

Every breed is welcome

During my work as a volunteer at the shelter in Arnhem, I developed a great love for animals that are forgotten, seen as less, or are discriminated against because they look a certain way. Dogs such as Rottweilers, Staffords, and Pitbulls were often left behind in a kennel for months and sometimes years, despite their sweet nature. After my shift, I always took the time to give these sweethearts some extra attention, and they eventually became the driving force behind my dog ​​walking service.

That is why I go a step further than the regular walking service. In addition to the fact that walks can be booked quickly and easily online, I also accept the so-called " high-risk dogs " and dogs with behavioral problems. The dogs that are often not welcome at another walking service in advance. Every dog ​​is different and has its own character, so I do not discriminate on breed and believe in the individual!

  • Dog training

    It can be very frustrating if your dog doesn't listen, pulls on the leash, scratches the couch or shows other unwanted behavior. It's important to find out where this behavior comes from, so you can prevent it (and your bank stays intact!). I will support you in learning techniques and skills, and working with your pet to help achieve your own goals. This can all be done in the privacy of your own home!

  • Walking and babysitting service

    Everyone is sometimes unable to walk their dog or take them on holiday, but of course you don't want your faithful four-legged friend to be home alone for too long! Then I'm happy to help you out with my dog ​​walking and sitting service. The dog walking service can be booked directly via my website, sitting is done in consultation. For both services I always plan an introduction first, then you can tell me everything I need to know about your sweet dog!

  • Online consultation

    An on-site consultation is not always possible. For example when:

    • You do not live in Delft and surrounding areas,
    • You find a consultation at your home exciting,
    • It doesn't fit into your agenda.

    That is why I also offer online guidance. This gives you help and answers to all your questions, but from the comfort of your own home! Wonderful, right?
