Different from the pack

Elliot McMahon, a self-proclaimed dog enthusiast, founded Happy Paws Waggy Tails – a local dog walking business with a unique approach. His aim was to provide affordable solo walks while catering to dogs that others may consider difficult. Elliot's affection for canines knew no bounds as he has never encountered a dog that he didn't like.

As HPWT gained momentum, Elliot expanded his business model by hiring staff with disabilities, DEI, or lived experience, who had a unique bond with the animals. This resulted in HPWT having a unique selling point that made Elliot proud.

Elliot's interest in dog training grew into a passion as he specialised in working with dogs deemed anti-social. He is committed to proving that every dog can be trained and that they all have love to give.

HPWT has recently launched a new doggy daycare service, which has been Elliot's long-standing dream. The HPWT team is thrilled to care for your furry friends while you are at work.
