Countryside group dog walks around Colchester.
Group walks for dogs that need more than a rushed loop of the park.
I run Dave’s Dogs, a group dog walking service in Colchester for dogs who deserve more than a rushed loop of the park. Every walk takes place in green spaces where dogs can explore and move at their own pace, with someone who takes the time to understand each one.
These walks are structured and enriching, and they give dogs far more to engage with than a standard housing estate route: more space, more scent, more chance to just be a dog. Every dog has a meet and greet before joining, so I know them first and the group suits them.
Insured and qualified
I’m fully insured, DBS-checked and trained in Canine First Aid. I’m also studying for my Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Canine Behaviour, which shapes how I approach every walk. Spaces are limited, so each dog gets my full attention, and I build everything on trust, consistency and their wellbeing.
Why I started Dave's Dogs
I started Dave’s Dogs after seeing group walks that were big, chaotic and hard to manage. I run mine differently, so every dog gets real attention and I get to know each one as an individual. Spaces are limited, which is how I keep it that way. Their wellbeing comes first, and I aim to be consistent so dogs and their owners know what to expect from me. I’m also studying canine behaviour at Level 6, which shapes how I read dogs out on a walk.
Walks happen in green spaces, where dogs can move at their own pace. You can read more about me on the About Dave page.
