Gryffin has been walking with Russell for a couple of months now and absolutely loves him! We love how happy Gryffin is and how amazing Russell has been with our bonkers boy. He got to know him first by taking him on solo walks and has been slowly introducing him to the rest of the pack. All round great experience for us all

Do you walk in all weathers?

Yes, unless conditions are unsafe (such as extreme heat or dangerous storms). A bit of rain or mud is all part of the adventure!

Can my dog stay on the lead?

Of course! We tailor every walk to your dog’s needs, whether they prefer freedom off-lead or feel safer staying close on the lead.

How do you group the dogs?

We carefully match dogs by energy levels, temperament, and social needs. This keeps the adventure enjoyable and safe for everyone.

What areas do you cover?

We’re based in Backworth and cover surrounding areas in North Tyneside, including Shiremoor, Killingworth, Holystone, and Whitley Bay. If you’re unsure if we cover your area, just ask!

What if I have more than one dog?

No problem! We offer multi-dog discounts for dogs from the same household. Get in touch to discuss your pack’s perfect adventure.
