YDD Ambassadors
Koira, Flora, Nick and Diane
Nick and Diane are keen to support responsible dog ownership in the Dales. ​
Koira and Flora both love their walks in the Dales. Flora is an older lady and can only manage shorter walks now, but she loves her time in the countryside just as much as active pup Koira.
Nick and Diane are keen runners and love to have their dogs at their side on trail runs.
Reggie, Barney and Leah
Living in the middle of the Yorkshire dales Leah knows how important it is to look after our surroundings but also have fun with our loved pets! She's a teacher with 2 dogs, a pony and a daughter and love spending time with them all outdoors!
Reggie is a springer spaniel and acts like a princess! It’s his world and we just live in it, he loves agility, likes some gundog training, but loves meeting people and having cuddles or his photo taken! Barney is a black lab and is a 5 month old at heart even though he is actually 5 years old! He’s a massive overgrown puppy and is as clumsy as they come! He loves other dogs, gundog training and just life in general but also loves a good snooze on the sofa.
Luna, Hazel, Rebecca and Simon
Becca and Simon would like to promote responsible dog walking so everyone can enjoy the outdoors! They both enjoy getting out and about exploring both at home in the Dales and further afield! When not busy teaching they can be found hunting out tractors with their 18 month old little boy, Ruairi, or taste-testing cake in the many dog friendly cafes they come across!
Luna is a 6 year old chocolate cocker spaniel who loves doing agility with Becca and mantrailing with Simon. Her favourite things are long walks with lots of sniffs, and celery.
Hazel is a 5 month old chocolate cocker spaniel who is finds life very exciting! One day she wants to be a super agility doggo just like her big sister, but for now she will settle for winning cutest puppy and being Ruairi’s best friend.
Bob and Michelle
Michelle is proud to live in the Yorkshire Dales and wants to promote responsible dog walking in this beautiful county and share her adventures.
She owns the very dog friendly village shop in Austwick, with free doggy treats for all our four legged customers. Bob is the shop dog who loves welcoming with his very waggy tail.
Hunter, Buddy, Bailey, Tilly and Lauren
Lauren believes it's important as a full time dog walker to preach what she teaches.
She has working dogs that specialise in search and rescue and retired dogs that love to just mooch along the countryside.
Scout and Cath
Cath's job is all about conserving wildlife and she recognises responsible dog ownership is part of that.
She lives over the border in Cumbria but works on meadow restoration in the Dales. Scout loves to accompany Cath on a site visit. She’s only young so it’s a great chance to introduce her to a new place and practice some training. She loves nothing more than following her nose to explore… except maybe food. She is half Labrador after all!
Lily, Chester, Mabel and Pam
Pam wants to promote good and responsible dog ownership in the Yorkshire Dales such as keeping dogs on leads and picking up after your dog.
She loves walking in the Yorkshire Dales and, in particular routes, which are not frequently used. She also love training and competing her grandpuppy Gouda at agility.
Lily is a 17 year old Jack Russell x poodle who just takes life easy now. Chester is a 13 year old Cocker Spaniel who loves doing whatever Pam is doing and needs her in touching distance at all times. Mabel is Chester’s daughter and is 2 years old. Mabel is reactive but loves man trailing, tracking and scent detection.
Molly and Sarah
Molly wants to show others how to love her home area and respect it as much as she does. Molly is a very young girl. She lives with her owners Gareth, Sarah, Aaden Willow and Devania. She loves walks with her owners in the beautiful countryside in the Yorkshire Dales.
Molly even won the best puppy in Malham Show last year 2023 with her youngest owner Willow by her side.
