# Small Dog Solutions
Small Dog Solutions is an Edinburgh-based dog care and training specialist dedicated to supporting puppies, small breeds and senior dogs with high support needs. Founded by Damien and Kirsteen, the business combines professional expertise with genuine compassion, offering a comprehensive range of services tailored to individual dogs' requirements.
The team specialises in force-free, reward-based training methods and holds First Aid/CPR certification. They excel at working with anxious, fearful or under-socialised dogs, building confidence through patient, individualised approaches. Their services span online and in-person support, making them accessible beyond the Edinburgh area.
What sets Small Dog Solutions apart is their holistic philosophy. Rather than generic dog care, they create personalised enrichment plans addressing each dog's social, physical and emotional needs. Their home-from-home boarding environment—featuring a secure organic garden, comfortable bedrooms, and a relaxed household atmosphere—helps dogs feel genuinely at ease. Clients consistently praise the daily updates and photographic evidence of their dogs' happiness and progress.
The business also offers Puppy ABCs, an innovative online educational course helping children learn responsible dog ownership whilst supporting parents seeking respite. This reflects their broader mission: solving real problems for dog owners through expertise, trust and understanding.
Whether addressing behavioural challenges, providing enriching walks, or offering trusted boarding care, Small Dog Solutions prioritises the dog's wellbeing above all else.
