Group Walks
Here at Talley Wags we specialise in fun, sociable, off lead group walks. We are fully insured with ‘Pet Business Insurance’ and currently run several groups walks a day between the hours of 8am and 6pm in our local area.
Our Walks are designed so that your dogs can be exercised safely in a multi dog environment. Our groups are selected on personalities and mixed for the best compatible which result in an atmosphere that all of the dogs will enjoy. We pride ourselves in the way we structure our group walks so your dog can gain, develop and retain excellent social skills and manners.
We provide exceptionally high standards to ensure behaviours and basic manners are catered for in each of our groups throughout the day so that mental and physical stimulation is being monitored, guided and helped to achieve in a positive way. Which will allow for good, confident interactions for all dogs who have their walks with us.
Group walks are 70 minutes (travel time excluded)
Walks take place Monday to Friday thought out the day Morning, Dinner and Afternoons.
Collection and Drop Offs are including in our price.
We Cater for regular weekly walks or flexible adlib and even just a one-off walk.

Walks take place in our two private secure 5 Arce fields with woodlands, agility equipment and lots of toys.
All dogs are transported in one of our safe, secure marked vans.
All of our vans are installed with live trackers for dog and staff safety which is monitored daily.
Daycare
We do offer full day care during the days of Monday to Friday where you can have a worry-free day that your dog isn’t home alone. Daycare consists of multiple walks throughout the day in our group walk environments. We collect your dog around 9-10am and drop them off in-between 4-5pm (times may vary). On their day out they will have up to three 70 minutes walks at various locations where they can have free run, exercise, basic training and most importantly time in-between each walk to settle and rest their legs ready for the next adventure.
One2One Walks
If your dog dislikes company, and you would prefer them to be walked individually, don’t worry we have this service to suit you. Weather you dog is aggressive, fearful, elderly or just likes to walk solo we cater our one2one walks just for them.
We have Two private secure 5 Arce fields which they can have just to themselves for off lead exercise or we love going on adventures with them on lead to find new quiet locations in the local area where your dog can be away from the hustle and bustle of general public, dogs, traffic and enjoy sniffing, exploring and having some personal interactions with us on each One2One walk.
One2One walks are 1 hour £20.00, 40 Minutes £17.00 or 30 Minutes £14.00
First Assessment Walk
All new dogs require an assessment walk when coming with us for the first time. This assessment walk is made entirely so that we focus on integrating them into a small select few dogs. This allows us to learn the new dog’s social skills, behaviour, listening skills, recall and much more. By doing this we can then place them in the best social group of like-minded dogs to suit their individual personality.
During this time, it enables them to also adapt to the new routine and environments which we are placing them in while going for a walk with us. If having a dog walker is something new to your dog, sometimes the first walk can be overwhelming for them as they don’t understand the new routine of being collected, travel to the fields, walking with their dog friends, travel back and then settled back at home.
The assessment walk is the perfect time for us to reassure them if worried or unsure and make it a fabulous adventure so they are happy to come with us each time. Our main priority is making sure your dogs’ emotional state of mind is happy and content.
Assessment walks are £20.00 (including VAT)
*If we have any behavioural problems or concern with socialising, or they are not settling in during this time we will discuss the next steps with you after their return.
In rare cases where we are having to devote more time and focus to train, guide or settle your dog in after their initial walk, we may keep pricing at £20.00.
This is until we are able to walk them with other dogs in a group naturally with minimal input from us, while they are then settled into how to socialise correctly. As soon as this is able to be done walks will reduce to group walk price of £17.00 (including VAT).
Consultation Visits
I offer a free initial consultation visit. I feel that it is important to introduce myself to both you and your dog to give you confidence that they are in the best possible hands.
During the visit, we can discuss your dog’s specific needs and routines. Their breed, age and temperament are all important factors that help us to understand your dog so that they can fit in to the right walks and social group.
I will also use this time to answer any questions you may have regarding our service and discuss keys for entrance, key box location, security of houses, where dogs will be left on collection and drop off and anything else.
Online forms will be sent to you and need to be completed before your assessment walk is arranged so that we have all important information. Forms will include Client Information Sheet, Dog Information Sheet, Vet Release form (optional), Service Agreement and then we will add in a Welcome Pack for you which details all of our services, our teams, prices and approximate times of walks.
