Dog walking

About my dog walks

Private (solo) or small group walks (maximum of 3 dogs) are available and you choose the length. I also cater for 15 minute pop ins. All walks are tailored to your dog(s)’ needs because I believe every dog is unique and deserves a personal approach to their walks. I offer free meet and greets, a fantastic way for us to get to know each other and for me to understand your dog(s)’ personality and what they love doing on their walks.

Should your dog love water, I know some clean streams and ponds for them to play in.

I walk a variety of routes ensuring your dog(s) have a stimulated and enriched walk. We especially love visiting the bluebell woods.

Worried about muddy paws? Don’t be! Your pooch will get a good clean up along with cuddles, treats (if allowed) and water refreshed.

My favorite dog walking locations

Hazelborough woods

Beautiful woods in Silverstone throughout the year especially in the spring with a carpet of bluebells wherever you look. Take in the history of old world war two buildings. An abundance of paths for your dogs to explore.

Bucknall woods

If your dog loves water this is the perfect place. A pond fed by a natural spring for them to play in. A brilliant place to forage for blackberries.

Towcester water medows

Located in the heart of Towcester, two enormous fields for your dogs to run about and play in the rivers. Easy access for dogs and people with mobility issues.

Stoke Bruene

A quaint canal side walk located just outside Towcester leading to the Blisworth tunnel. A perfect place to walk your dog and meet friends for a drink afterwards watching the narrowboats pass through the locks.

Everdon stubbs

Last in the list is Everdon stubbs. A quiet ancient woodland located just outside Farthingstone. A perfect place to forage for Chestnuts.
