What My Clients Say
Emilie & Winston
Winston loves all of his walks with Mirka and we were so excited to find her. He can be tricky and her controlled pack walks have helped him so much and he has come on a huge amount since starting with her. We love the structure of each pack walk which feels different to a standard walk as he gets so much out of it. She understands him well and his needs are always supported. We are very grateful!
Chloe & Luna
​
We were recommended Mirka by our dog trainer, and she has been fantastic with our dachshund, Luna! She takes the time to really get to know your dog well, and makes the walks engaging and always works on Luna’s training. Luna has also been to stay with Mirka a few times while we have been away, and it is clear she is really loving and looks after her so well. Couldn’t ask for a better person to help us with Luna!
Olivia & Barney
Mirka is a fantastic dog walker and we are so grateful she was willing to take on our dog. She took the time to get to know him before introducing him to the other dogs she walks. The walks are structured and there is training involved, which provides our dog with some mental stimulation. I'm not aware of any other dog walker that does this to the same degree she does. We know our dog is in safe hands with her and has a great time. I would highly recommend Mirka to anyone and I can guarantee you'll see a positive difference in your dog. Thank you!
Chris & Pixel
We are so happy to have found Mirka! It’s very difficult to find someone with the knowledge, passion and ability to look after Pixel, his excitement and drive around other dogs can be very challenging. Since Pixel started going on his walks with Mirka he has been able to become much more neutral with other dogs. We never feel any worry with Mirka taking Pixel out and love seeing all the updates from the walk. It is just great knowing his training is being carried on with each walk because Mirka provides the structure that Pixel needs!
Cassi & Hank
​
After having been with dog walker companies, I am so relieved to have found Mirka. She took the time & attention needed to understand Hank & his behaviour, which gives me such relief that Hank & the pack are safe & in a controlled environment. Hank the Frenchie has never been more happier. She is a dog whisperer & couldn’t recommend her services more!
Gabby & Una
​
​Mirka has been absolutely brilliant with our young working cocker spaniel. She has a great relationship with dogs which I noticed immediately when she meet Una. Her approach is very positive and gentle - her understanding of dog behaviour is evident with her dog training.
Each dog walk has a fantastic mix of lead work, freedom and recall also she includes some enrichment like foraging to keep the brain engaged. I can highly recommend “happiness unleashed” having worked with a few local dog walking/training people Mirka definitely is at the top.
Riley & Otto
​Mirka at Happiness Unleashed is fantastic. She's incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviour and very confident when handling our excitebale, one-year-old mini schnauzer. Before finding Mirka and Happiness Unleashed, I was hesitant to use a dog walker because so many dog walking companies do not incorporate training and structure into their walks. I'm so happy to have found Mirka. She is skilled at dog handling and dog training and she always provides my dog with enriching and exciting walks focused on neutrality and obedience.
Izzy & Ted
​
​Finding a knowledgable and reliable dog walker proved to be a challenge until we found Mirka. Walks with Mirka are structured, keeping our young Labrador engaged and reinforcing his training. During their walks Mirka practices heel work, loose lead walking, recall, neutrality, threshold manners, play and more! We are so fortunate to have found Mirka and highly recommend her for both 1-to-1 training and dog walking.
Inger & Bonnie
​We are very fortunate to have found Mirka, such a wonderful dog walker and trainer. I’d liken her dog walks to ‘mini training classes’. I just know each time Bonnie goes out for a walk with Mirka she’ll return tired having been encouraged to engage, walk to heel and learn just a little bit more, all tasks Bonnie loves. Our 1:1 training sessions together have brought Bonnie and me closer, I understand my dog more, which makes her easier to handle and adds another layer to our relationship. The benefit of our training sessions has been seen by all the family, which is a nice add on for us.
Nathalie & Lola
Mirka is an absolute gem. Lola our black lab so looks forward to her walks. Mirka always sends us videos. Lola looks so engaged when trained by Mirka. We feel very lucky to have found her.
