I took a video after the kick, but due to the size of the file, only screenshots could be uploaded. The street was empty, the lady had no idea I was behind her, the dog kept clawing the ground to stop, the lady eventually got annoyed, turned around and kicked the dog with her foot.

Just to be clear: It was NOT a gentle push with the foot like she tried to convince me of after the video. It also wasn't a huge hit that would have broken a bone, but it was a real kick that, as a dog owner, made me jump out of my gloves to call her out. This is NOT a dog loving, professional approach.

I do not know this person, I've seen her around a lot though, handing her business card.

She called me names, then said "I hate you" (on the video), but afterwards, I spoke with her and asked her to please never do this again. She said she was really sorry, that it wouldn't happen again and she begged to leave this behind. She said that she cares for those dogs, but she then asked me "How am I supposed to get this dog to walk, then?" Well, this is her job, she should know without kicking the dog. I hope the owner of this dog comes across those pictures: It is their right to know.

Omg!

I know this lady very well……. Always gets on the bus asking for a free ride!

She never has money to pay a fare!

She’s not a professional dog walker imo, it’s just a sideline money maker for her!

I’ve seen her around for years……. Something about her doesn’t sit right with me

The difference between a professional & a hobbyist.


There are too many self-proclaimed cat sitters & dog walkers who think this is an easy job,

an easy way to make money. They have no idea what they are doing.

I know her too - she's come up to me on several occasions with her card, hustling for business. I never liked the vibe I got from her and didn't actually believe she was a dog walker.

 

So many times! I stopped walking on her street, because she barges out of her house and shoves her flier at your face if she sees you walking a dog. She never even once paid any attention to my dog. She just wants the business. Everyone is saying the same thing on Nextdoor about her.

There’s a post about her on the next door site. Seems that a few people know her.

Hopefully the owners will have been informed.

 

Not yet :( Still waiting for the owners to come across this post (or the same one on Nextdoor). Some people are sharing on Facebook as well.

Omg, someone said the same thing on Nextdoor! She takes the P4 bus, and pretends she forgot her card or something. Not surprised. < admin - removed unsubstantiated comment > . We need to find the owners!

Can you shed any light on the post on next door.

Thread title maybe?

Date of post?


Thanks

Scroll down, you should be able to find it.


If it's who I think it is - the pictures are a little blurry - I believe the woman's name is Shirin.


Looking at the pictures you can see that two of the dogs' leads are twisted five odd times. No wonder they're having difficulty walking. The same two dogs look apprehensive in the pictures so I imagine that it was one of these that was witnessed being kicked.

There's a wider discussion on why people get dogs but have to use dog walkers. I grew up with dogs and when we went on our hols they went into kennels. Never had a dog in London as not the space, nor the time to walk them. I still prefer them to other pets.


And dare I say a conversation whether we should keep pets at all.

Might just be me: the nextdoor link opens but there is no way of commenting on the post.

As a general rule, if your dog doesn't wag its tail when the dog-walker calls round then be very concerned, Is its ears down and is its tail between its legs?


All dogs get excited about going out for a walk. They wag their tails and show enthusiasm.

Also, if the dog walker doesnt greet the dog with a hug and a warm welcome, when collecting the dog then be Very suspicious. Dogs are social animals and they know about human behaviour.


So if they don't like the dog-walker then it becomes immediately obvious.


Have a look at these

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
