Meet The Owners
Every dog deserves to be trained. This is why I changed my insurance to cover exempt breeds when the ban was announced.
In the run-up to the ban, I offered free muzzle training workshops, free drop-in sessions for advice and socialisation walks specifically for XL Bully owners.
We are official Muzzle Movement fitters.

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise
Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we'd want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs.
That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they've considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
We don't assume.
We don't guess.
We ask — and they confirm.
If anything changes or a business doesn't stand by what they've told us, we take it seriously.
If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dog's breed, contact us.
We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.
