Two hours on the Downs. Home tired and happy.
Zainab and Theo pick your dog up from home, take them out with five friends on the South Downs, and send you photos while they're at it. Brighton and Hove, every weekday since 2018.
Where Tuesday's pack went
We rotate between Devil's Dyke, Stanmer Park and the Ditchling ridge, and Hove beach from October to April when dogs are allowed. Scroll and follow the lead.
6.2 km, 2 hours, 1 very muddy spaniel

How we start with a new dog
Meet and greet
We come round for half an hour, meet your dog, look at the lead, the harness and the hiding spots for the house key.
Trial walk
A short solo walk first, then a half pack walk. We tell you honestly how they got on.
Regular days
Pick your days. We send photos and a route from every walk, and a towel goes on before they come back in.
Beach season starts 1 October.
The grooming van comes to you
Zainab parks outside, plugs in, and grooms your dog one to one in a warm van with a proper bath. No cages, no other dogs barking, no waiting room. Most dogs walk back in without noticing they've been anywhere.
Prices
Second dog from the same house is half price on pack walks. Fully insured, DBS checked, canine first aid trained.
Pack walk
Two hours, five dogs maximum, pick up and drop off
Solo walk
One hour, for nervous, reactive or very old dogs
Puppy visit
Thirty minutes at home: a wee, a play and some training
Groom: bath and tidy
In the van outside your house. Price by size and coat.
Groom: full clip
Bath, clip, nails, ears. About ninety minutes.
From the humans
“Nora is nine and had stopped wanting to go out. Three weeks with the Long Lead lot and she waits at the door for the van at 9:30.”
Margaret H.
Hove
“The photos are the best bit of my working day. Rolo has never looked so pleased with himself.”
Callum and Jess
Kemptown
“Doug hates baths. He sat in Theo's van like a little king.”
