Marisha- Owner

My name is Marisha and I am the proud owner of Big Paw Walks. I started my business in 2025 in honour of my first cane corso, Skye, and i wanted to use my passion for dogs to change the stigma around big breeds and reactive dogs.

I have multiple canine qualifications including canine body language, breed and predatory motor patterns through IMDT, a level 3 diploma in animal management and I am currently studying to become a dog trainer. I have over 3 years experience in dog walking within my own business and prior work experience.

I grew up in France on a farm, surrounded by dobermans, patterdales and rescues. My specialty is large dogs who need further training and guidance.

My dogs and i are apart of the ICCGB, a club dedicated to promoting, preserving and protecting the Cane Corso (italian mastiff).

One of my dogs, is a qualified emotional assistant dog, and a therapy dog volunteer for TDN.

Caitlin has a level 3 diploma in animal management, and is first aid trained.

Caitlin is a confident and experienced handler, with patience and dedication to all dogs.
