Variety is the stuff great walks are made of!
Max 6 Dogs. No Vans. Just Rural Adventures.
Highgate dogs are surely some of the luckiest in London. With the wild beauty of Hampstead Heath, the ancient trails of Highgate Wood, and the green stretch of the Parkland Walk right on our doorstep, we are truly spoiled for choice.
While our local parks are fantastic for daily play, my rural adventures are designed to complement that routine with a regular change of scenery and a brand-new world to explore. I provide a relaxed, family-style service that offers your dog a midday "away day" to discover brand-new sights, sounds, and scents in London’s quietest rural corners.
Our Favourite Destination: The Wilds of Trent Park
There is nothing quite like the 400 acres of meadows and ancient woodland at Trent Park. It is our ultimate 'away day' for the pack.
Because it is so expansive and quiet, the dogs can enjoy a true off-lead 'Sniffari' without the distractions of city traffic or crowded pavements. It’s where our Highgate, Muswell Hill and Finchley explorers really thrive, enjoying the soft grass and forest trails that are so much kinder to their paws and joints."
A Change of Scenery: The Luxury of a New Scent
A Civilised Commute (No Vans)
The adventure starts the moment I arrive at your door. Your dog isn't cargo, so I don't use a van. Instead, we head out in my comfortable, climate-controlled car.
- The Best Seat in the House: Every passenger gets a window seat to watch the world go by, making the 20-30 minute journey a relaxing part of the day's enrichment.
- Safety & Comfort: Every dog is secured with an individual safety seatbelt and their own harness for a stable, protected journey.
- The Schedule: I collect my pack around mid-late morning, returning them home around 4 pm, happy and settled.
- The Price: £30 for 60-90 minute Rural Pack Walk Adventure
Even the most exciting local trails can become part of a familiar routine. By whisking my small pack away to the expansive, rural landscapes of Trent Park, Horsenden Hill, and Fryent Country Park, I provide a fresh "sensory buffet" that keeps their minds sharp and curious.
- The Science of the "Sniffari": For a dog, a new smell is like a new book. Studies show that engaging in deep sniffing significantly lowers a dog's heart rate and reduces stress levels. It is the ultimate form of canine decompression.
- A Gentler Pace: These rural spaces are often much quieter than our busy local hubs. I prioritise level, grassy forest floors which provide a lovely, low-impact alternative for older dogs and growing puppies, giving them space to roam at their own pace.
- Time to Discover: We spend 60 to 90 minutes on the trails. There is never a rush—we stay until the dogs have had their fill of discovery and are ready for a peaceful afternoon nap.
- I collect my midday pack from homes across Highgate, Muswell Hill, Archway, Crouch End and Finchley, before embarking on a smooth, air-conditioned commute to our rural adventure.
Total Peace of Mind
Welcoming a new walker into your dog's life is an exciting step, and I’m here to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible for both of you.
Each pack consists of up to six well-suited, friendly dogs who are individually chosen to ensure a harmonious and enjoyable experience for everyone.
To help your dog feel comfortable and confident with me and the pack, I encourage you to first join us for either an entire pack walk or a part of it before your dog starts walking with us regularly. This gives your dog the chance to settle in and allows you to ask any questions you might have about the walk or my approach.
Together, we’ll ensure your dog feels at ease and enjoys a positive, enriching experience with their new walking companions.
LONG LEAD RECALL DOG TRAINING
When your dog joins the pack, they not only get to explore and socialise but also learn essential behaviours like recall.
They start with a long lead, which allows them to enjoy their surroundings while gradually understanding what's expected. As they observe the other dogs in the pack responding to recall, they begin to realise that coming back leads to positive rewards.
The pack dynamic plays a key role in this process. Your dog will see their packmates returning when called, which helps reinforce the idea that recall is part of the routine. As they gain confidence, they'll start responding more reliably to recall, eventually without the need for a long lead.
With positive reinforcement and learning from their fellow pack members, your dog will soon make recall second nature.

Sharon provides a truly fantastic dog walking service. Our Cavapoo absolutely loved his time with Sharon; he was so excited when he realised he was going with her and genuinely seemed disappointed to leave her! He always returned home happy, well socialised and exhausted from his lovely long walk
