More than just a dog walk.
Every detail is carefully considered to give your dog the very best experience, from well-matched friendships and enriching activities to safe, comfortable transport.
Group Walks
Our group walks are carefully designed to enrich your dog's day. Every outing provides the opportunity to explore, sniff, swim, socialise and simply enjoy being a dog in the beautiful Winchester countryside.
Throughout our walks, we naturally incorporate activities such as retrieving, scent work and impulse control, helping dogs practise real-life skills while enjoying themselves. Just as importantly, dogs build lasting friendships in carefully matched groups where everyone feels comfortable and safe. We use positive, reward-based methods, creating an environment where dogs can learn, build confidence and have fun.
Our walks last a minimum of one hour, with most of our time spent exploring woodland, countryside, rivers and open spaces across Hampshire. Dogs travel in secure, crash-tested crates within our fully ventilated van, and after muddy adventures our onboard dog wash helps ensure they return home clean and comfortable.

Adventure Days. Because sometimes an hour isn’t enough.
Our Adventure Days are exactly what they sound like: longer adventures to some of Hampshire and Dorset's best dog-friendly locations. Think beaches, forests, nature reserves and miles of new scents to discover.
Designed for friendly, sociable dogs who love exploring, these trips provide everything they enjoy most: freedom to sniff, space to run, new places to experience, and a day spent with their buddies.

Adventure Days are open to friendly, sociable dogs who are confident travelling in the van and enjoy being a good day out..
You don't need to be a regular Holly and The Dogs client to come along, but all dogs must complete a trial walk beforehand so I can make sure they're a suitable fit for the group.
Keeping groups carefully matched means everyone can relax, explore and have the best possible day. We often team up with another human (also called Holly!) to keep our person-to-dog ratio nice and small, meaning every dog gets plenty of individual attention throughout the day.

Adventure Days aren't scheduled months in advance. Instead, I keep a list of interested dogs and organise the Adventure the week before, after checking the weather conditions and our location. This means we can head to the beach when the tide and temperature are perfect, or swap to woodland if it's a warmer day.
It keeps every adventure safe, enjoyable and a little bit exciting.
Holly and The Dogs clients get exclusive access to our WhatsApp community, where Adventure Days are announced first and spaces are released before anywhere else.
