Group Lead Walks 

These are 1 hour sessions. The walks are about calm social exposure, learning to handle arousal levels and read body language both in your own dogs and in the dogs around you. The sessions start in an open space we use as a warmup area, where we just get the dogs focusing in on you.

We then set off, with the direction of the walk dependent upon group, time of year, and conditions. The walks include settle work and occasionally gate work too. Content of lessons are adapted in accordance to the group.


Size of groups will vary but the ratio is generally 6 handlers & dogs to 1 instructor. Two instructors may come together to work larger groups. The minimum requirement for a walk to go ahead is six dogs.

Dog Walking Timetable

Our Walking Classes run primarily in Spring, Summer, and Autumn, with a minimum of one session per month. While weather conditions may affect the schedule, we offer walks mostly on Monday mornings and occasionally on Saturday mornings.

Majority of walks run at 9am on either day. Occasional variations can occur.

Walks are lead by Rebecca Lawrence-Baker.

We have a Whatsapp Group for the Walks where we post up newly scheduled dates and times as well as group size details.  If you would like to be added to this group please contact the office on 07593 875748

Dog Walking Classes:

Enhance Your Dog's Social Skills and Training

Our Dog Walking Classes offer a unique opportunity to combine the beauty of the countryside with essential dog training. These controlled group walks are designed to enhance your dog's social learning while reinforcing skills from regular training sessions in a relaxed, real-world setting.

What to Expect on Our Walks

  • Social Learning and Body Language Awareness:
    Learn to read your dog’s body language and understand their signals, as well as how to interpret the behavior of other dogs around you.

  • On-Lead Walks for Safety and Control:
    These guided walks provide safe exposure to walking among other dogs, teaching self-control, focus, and connection with you as the handler.

  • Tailored Experiences:

    Every walk is unique, with activities that match the needs of the group, such as gate work, single-file or parallel walking, and lessons on dog greetings for more settled participants.
