“A group walk” can mean very different things depending on who’s holding the lead. At The Dog Walkers it means a proper hour of active, sociable walking in safe, interesting places — not a quick lap of the block with a dozen strangers. Here’s exactly what’s included when your dog joins one of our group walks in South Manchester.
A full hour of active walking
Your dog gets a genuine hour of walking in the area’s best woodlands, meadows and waterparks — roughly two hours out of the house once collection and drop-off are counted. It’s real exercise and enrichment, not a potter round the block.
Small, temperament-matched packs
We keep groups small and pair dogs by personality, so the pack stays calm, safe and happy. If you’re deciding whether group is right for your dog, our guide to group versus solo dog walks breaks it down.
Door-to-door collection & safe transport
We collect and drop off across South Manchester in a climate-controlled van with secure individual crates — and every muddy dog comes home towel-dried under our “Clean Dog Promise”.
IMDT-trained handling
Every walk uses positive, modern IMDT techniques, so handling is calm, consistent and safe — especially when something unexpected happens out on the walk.
Photo & video updates
You’ll get photo and video updates from the walk, plus optional GPS tracking so you can follow the route live and see your dog having a brilliant time.
What it costs
Group walks are £15 each, with discounts for multiple walks a week. For the full local picture, see how much a dog walker costs in South Manchester.
