A Personal Story
Meet Barry – The Man Behind the Leash
I’ve always felt more at ease with dogs than I ever have with people.
Maybe it’s their honesty. Maybe it’s the way they don’t ask for much — just patience, gentleness, and a steady hand. Whatever it is, walking dogs isn’t just a job to me. It’s the best part of my day.

From Quiet Afternoons to Word of Woof
Word of Woof began simply: a few neighbours in Falkirk noticed how calm their dogs were after a stroll with me. One thing led to another, and before long, I was being asked to walk friends’ dogs, then friends-of-friends… and the name stuck. Someone said, “It’s like the dogs are spreading the word themselves.”
And maybe they are. Their tails do a lot of talking.
But what mattered most to me — from the very beginning — was that I did this properly.
Why Professional Matters
I’m not just a dog lover. I’m also trained, certified, and committed to your dog’s wellbeing. This means your dog isn’t just getting fresh air. They’re getting care that’s safe, structured, and designed with their needs in mind — whether they’re a high-energy pup or a gentle senior.
Calm, Consistent, and Kind
I don’t walk ten dogs at once. I don’t drag them around the block with headphones in. I walk in small groups, take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, and treat them as if they were my own.
Fresh water comes with me on every walk. So do poo bags, clean-up wipes, and enough patience to handle the odd squirrel chase.
From My Lead to Your Door
If you’re looking for someone who sees your dog the way you do — as family — then you’ve come to the right place.
