We would love for you and your dog to join us for our upcoming mini social-walk!
We will be meeting at Sea Lane Café, Goring-By-Sea.
‘What3words’ reference is: https://w3w.co /sofa.head.clap
Our next walk will be held on Sunday the 21st of December at 9:30am, the route we will take will last around 1.5 hours, stopping halfway for a nice warm coffee.
As ever, the main aim is to socialise the dogs as much as possible in a controlled and calm way. Take some time to mingle and say "Hello" to other walkers; there is nothing like the support of other owners of dogs with issues. Just be mindful of those who do not want to be approached; always ask first, and never let your dog approach another dog without asking the owner first.
To ensure everyone's safety, we also request all dogs remain on-lead, and ideally in a ‘Y’ shape harness (as these are not restrictive, and do not cause any discomfort or pain - we are happy to advise if you would like us to before the day) for the duration of the walk as we will have some dogs that don’t like other dogs too close.
You are responsible for your own dog, as it is not feasible for us to be everywhere at once, so we hold no responsibility for any injuries or accidents, but we are there to help too if you need us to.
Please ensure that you don’t put your dog in a situation where they are likely to get over-heated, or overwhelmed.
Your dog should be happy to wear a muzzle if it is likely to bite or react negatively. As always, please take time to introduce your dog to the muzzle; dogs are happy to wear them if they are introduced properly. Ensure your harness is fitted correctly also, before the walk, so your dog cannot back in or out of it before the walk please, especially if it is an anxious pup.
Please make sure that you have water for your dogs, hand-sanitiser for you, and towels in case it's really wet...
We reserve the right to cancel any walk on the day if we feel the weather will be harmful to either the dog or carer. Please do keep an eye on our Facebook page for details.
Please ask if you have any other questions.
* PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON OUR FB PAGE THE NIGHT AND MORNING BEFOREHAND TOO - I WILL BE DECIDING AT THAT POINT WHETHER THE WEATHER IS TOLERABLE FOR PUPS, AND ENSURING IT'S NOT TOO HOT; CANCELLATIONS WILL BE POSTED THERE (AND ONLY THERE) IF AND WHEN...
