About Us
My name is Tracy Tory, known as Aunty Muddy, I have been owner manager at Muddy Puddles Dorset in Blandford since its inception in 2011.
Brought up in Blandford with a house, shed and field full of animals, I have had my own dogs and horses for over forty years and have been professionally dog walking in Blandford since 2011.
I graduated from University in 1996 with an Honours Business degree and worked in the corporate world whilst balancing the work of a dog and a horse at home. When my Marketing Events Manager position was redundant in 2011 due to government funding cuts, I was finally able to put my efforts into something I loved – looking after animals, dogs and cats in particular. Muddy Puddles Dorset was born.
Growing up, I desperately wanted my own dog but wasn’t allowed due to my dad being in the Army. One Christmas there was a huge box under the Christmas tree which I was convinced was a puppy. My disappointment was evident when a Girl’s World appeared, but, for my next birthday, I was presented with a beautiful Yorkshire Terrier puppy. And I loved her. We called her Patsy, and she was joined a few months later by our second Yorkshire Terrier, Buster.
I often think about these two lovely little terrierists and how my heart broke when they passed at a ripe old age. I would like all small breed dog owners in Blandford to know they can give their little dog all the fun and friends they could wish for, and, by coming out with Aunty Muddy, these little people can play safely every day with us, with other dogs their own size.
Muddy Puddles Dorset welcomes well socialised, well behaved small dogs for group dog walking in the Blandford countryside. A solid recall is very much desired and we practise it on every walk! Small dog breeds we commonly walk in Blandford are Cockerpoo, Terrier, Terrier Mix, Jack Russell, Cairn, Westie, Yorkie, Border, Chihuahua, Cockapoo, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso. And they are each and every one loved.

What our lovely clients say
I found Tracy and Ed to be consummate professionals. Hard-working and always reliable, they take their responsibilities very seriously. I would recommend both Tracy and Ed highly to anyone as someone they will be able to trust with their animals and their home. Tracy faces any challenge intelligently and takes things in her usual level-headed stride no matter how pressurised the situation gets. I have employed Tracy and Ed more than once and always find them helpful, cheerful, they love the animals and they are very resourceful.
Jo Minnaar, Owner, Countryside Marketing
I would like everyone to know what an amazing service Muddy Puddles Dorset provides. Our dog Dexter, although a proper sweetheart, can be a bit nervous of new dogs. Tracy at Muddy Puddles Dorset took everything in her stride and by providing daily texts and photos of Dexter with his new chums having a fabulous time, gave us such reassurance, and Dexter has grown in confidence too. Ed is a genuine gent who puts the dogs at the heart of everything. I would absolutely recommend.

Well we’d decided not to take Cat to a cattery when we went away for a weekend and I had a look at Tracy’s website and thought “hmm, she sounds good fun, I’ll give her a call”. From the minute I met her I was impressed with her professionalism and love of animals. Unfortunately, Cat wasn’t home to meet her that day but I knew he’d like her. He now treats her as one of the family and is happy that she treats him the same as we do. No more catteries for Cat, home visits from Tracy every time!
Sheila, Cat Cat’s mum. Blandford, Dorset
It wasn’t easy to leave our puppy Nellie for the first time but after meeting Tracy from Muddy Puddles Dorset we knew she’d be in good hands. That was nearly 4 years ago now and Nellie has been having regular walks with Tracy (Aunty Muddy) ever since. We trust her completely as we know that Nellie will always be loved and well looked after on her walks with her friends and come home happy and well exercised. We love hearing all about what she gets up to and who she’s been bouncing with. Nellie loves Tracy (waggy tail always gives it away) and so do we!
Nicki, Nellie Foxy Terrier’s mum. Blandford, Dorset.
I was delighted with Tracy from Muddy Puddles Dorset when we went on holiday. She played with, entertained and cuddled my very high maintenance rescue cat for two weeks and he tells me it was all to a very high standard! Tracy from Muddy Puddles Dorset is honest, professional and reliable and I would not hesitate to use her services in the future. Highly recommended.
Lou, Ted Cat’s mum. Near Blandford, Dorset.
From the second my dog met her Aunty Muddy she loved her. Tracy from Muddy Puddles Dorset is dog obsessed and I feel safe knowing she loves my dog as much as her own! The pictures and updates are great for keeping you in the loop and it’s lovely to see my dog having so much fun. Would (and have) absolutely recommend. Thanks Tracy!
Cat, Millie Terrier’s mum. Blandford, Dorset.
