Our latest newsletter is on its way. Sign up now to receive a weekly update from our team here in old Idsworth

Sadly as many of you now know, we had to say a final goodbye this week, to Barney after 12 years of fun, trials and laughter! He taught us and many of his doggy friends so much, so with his loss, the dynamics in the household have changed. They will settle down but only with us supervising as the 2....

Fun in the snow today #thewalkaboutway #newboyleo #germanshepherddog

At #thewalkaboutway we love our German Shepherd dogs and have lost count of how many we have trained. Why not join us and see what we do. #walkaboutgsd

A brilliant GSD walk today with #walkaboutambassadors Lyla and Fritzi joining #walkabouttopdog Margo. They joined Buddy and #newboyleo for an off lead walk up over the hills and everyone had a fantastic time. These walks are the highlight of our dogs week and a great reward for all the hard work they have done to help the new dogs joining us. Thanks for the additional photos and videos Jake. #thewalkaboutway #lifeskillsfordogs

Our Story

Back in 1997, the Walkabout Group was established to help dog owners with all aspects of caring for their dogs. At that time, we ran a successful pet food distribution business and supplied and worked with over 170 pets shops and many breeders and dog rescues.

As a dog trainer and behaviourist, I wanted to move away from that side of the business so established a dog walking and cat care business and worked with local Vets to create the ideal one stop place for our pet owners in the local area. Over the years we trained and supported many people who also went on to establish their own businesses helping dog and cat owners.

We developed a unique way of helping dogs by using our very experienced teaching dog pack, who taught dogs and their owners in a way that everyone understands. This took time, but was worthwhile and again a number of colleagues copied our ideas and were fairly successful. Unfortunately, as our pack got older, it became clear that we had to adjust our teaching and move back to a more conventional way, so looking at the whole picture, we started to develop the Walkabout Way.

This involves showing and helping the owner to train their dog to suit their own requirements. Using the knowledge we gained from our dogs teaching, we are able to guide each individual owner to help their own dog. Although we do offer some group walks and meetings, most of our work is more suitable to 121 help, so that the correct training is given and adapted for each person. Demand for this is high, so we only take on specific cases, but no one is ever turned away, so do get in touch to discuss and lets see how we can help.
