The basic rules are set out below:
All dog owners are fully responsible for the welfare, behaviour and safety of their own dog, at all times.
If a dog appears to be suffering in anyway then they will need to be taken home immediately or to visit a Vet.
Owners must carry fresh water and a fold away dog bowl, for their own dog.
Appropriate collars and leads should be used when required.
If there is any conflict /problems within the pack, or with another stranger dog approaching, then that dog should be lead walked for the duration of the walk to prevent any possible anxiety within the group. The other owners should then respect the space of any lead walked dogs and not allow the dog to feel constricted by the lead whilst their dogs are unleashed.
Appropriate weatherproof clothing and footwear are required as walks will be taken over rough land, beaches, hillsides etc.
A pack of dogs that are all well behaved is excellent mental and physical stimulation for your dog.
Punctuality is essential. People will only be allowed a 5 minute delay time, as dogs can get very restless waiting.
We are more than happy for the dogs to be off lead and the majority always are. We do have some that come along and just want to walk their dogs on lead they do and the rest of the pack's owners make sure that the dogs on lead have space and their dogs do not crowd them.
There are times that all dogs are leashed as we can walk along public access routes that include livestock areas though.
