Welcome to Dave’s Dogs

Services

Dog walking (groups)

Serving Colchester and surrounding areas, I’ll pick up and drop off your dog right from your home.

Since this might be your dog’s only walk of the day, I mix up our walking locations to keep things fun and interesting, and I never walk more than four compatible dogs at a time.

£15 per dog (£12.50 for each additional dog from same home)
1 hour walk excluding pick up/drop off

Dog walking (solo)

Not every dog is suited to group walks. Some might prefer their own space, while others may be rescues or dogs working through reactivity.

I offer a limited number of solo walks each week, tailored specifically for these dogs.

In some cases, solo walks can even help prepare dogs for future group walks, though this depends entirely on the individual dog's progress.

£25 per dog
1 hour walk excluding pick up/drop off

“Highly recommend Dave; we have a rescue dog who can be temperamental with other dogs, Dave patiently introduced our dog to other dogs and he has now formed two best paw friends.”
