About Cold Noses
COLD NOSES is based in Horwich and offers a professional, experienced and competitively-priced Dog Walking Service covering the North Bolton and Chorley areas of Lancashire.
My name is Carolyn, and I own and run Cold Noses. After working for a large, public-sector organisation for 27 years, in roles which included accountancy and management, and having acquired various Business Studies qualifications, and a degree in law, I finally decided that this was not the life for me and that I needed a complete change. I knew that I wanted to work with dogs and had spent a couple of years researching various options for a career that would be more rewarding and which would provide a worthwhile service. I finally took the plunge, and have not looked back since! For anyone who is curious about the name, a dog with a cold nose is a healthy dog!
I was brought up with dogs and have, since then, owned my own dogs for over 25 years. I have also become experienced at walking other dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments, each with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. I have already become attached to my existing 'customers' and the look on their faces when I turn up to take them a walk is enough to brighten the cloudiest of days. Most know the sound of my car, and have already started barking before they see me!
The areas currently covered by Cold Noses include Heaton, Lostock and Horwich in the Bolton area, and Adlington, Withnell, Coppull and Euxton/Yarrow Valley/Buckshaw Village in the Chorley area. I am fortunate in that the areas I cover are surrounded by lovely countryside, with many public footpaths. which makes the walks more interesting both for myself and the dogs I am walking.
Cold Noses has already proved very popular with owners who are out at work all day but do not want to leave their dogs on their own. Some owners have bought a dog, and their circumstances have then changed, and they are unable to spend as much time with their dog as they could in the past. Others have recently become dog owners and want to ensure their puppy gets the best possible start in life, including the opportunity to socialise with other dogs. Whatever the reason, all my customers are responsible dog owners, and want the best for their pets, so knowing that their dog will be taken out into the countryside with someone they know and trust gives them a peace of mind which is priceless.
