Dog Chaperone
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life to celebrate with loved ones, and for many, dogs are both friends and family. Therefore more couples are including their dogs to celebrate the biggest day of their lives. From including your dog in your wedding photos through to ring bearer, there are many ways in which your dog can become part of your day.
My Dog Chaperone service allows your special day to be even more precious as you are accompanied by your four legged friend(s). Adventure Tails will offer a friendly yet professional service ensuring that your dog is looking perfect for the occasion. With an air conditioned car with Transk9 safety cages, you can be sure that your dog will arrive at the venue safely and punctually. During the wedding your dog will be looked after allowing you to focus on having a fantastic time with your friends and family and have those all-important special photos that you will cherish. For more information, see our leaflet.
Our service includes:
An initial meeting at your home where we will spend time with you and getting to know your dog(s); going through the options available for you as we start to plan our role in your day and keeping in touch with you in the run up to your wedding.
Exercising your dog on the morning of your wedding, grooming and adding any accessories before arriving at your wedding venue.
During the wedding we will chaperone and care for your dog, paying full attention to their comfort and needs.
After your dog's role in your wedding is complete, we will then transport them back to where they are staying and ensure they are settled.
We can support with training and accessories if you are interested in including your dog as your ring bearer.
We can also offer to stay at your venue late into the evening.
Things to remember:
Check with your venue accessible areas for your dog; if you are having your dog as a ring-bearer then you will need to seek agreement from the venue or Registrar.
Advise your guests when sending out invitations that you will be including your dog(s), so that anyone with allergy's can plan ahead.
If you are planning to accessorise your dog, choose a comfortable outfit!
Think about your dog's personality, how they are with large groups of people, whether to give them a starring role or just include them in your photos.
And finally, let your photographer know!
Every wedding is unique and therefore I do not offer a 'package', instead we adapt our services to your day and also your dogs needs as well.
Therefore most couples will choose from the following:
Collect your dog (this can be from your venue, home, kennels, friends, family).
Arrive at the venue.
Meet and Greet your guests as they arrive.
Assist with Ring Bearer.
Assist your photographer for those all important special photographs.
Mingle with your guests – (your dog will know them all!).
Regular toilet and drink opportunities and some 'time out' if your dog is a little anxious.
Take your dog back to where they are staying for the evening.
AND/OR
During your wedding breakfast take your dog for a good walk.
Use one of your guest bedrooms and give your dog its evening dinner and some chill time.

Retire for the evening back in the guest bedroom to let your dog relax, have cuddles until a time that has been agreed and a family/friend will take over.
At initial consultation we can go through and plan your day, where I will be able to give you an idea of an estimate of my price for your day.
