Why Choose Us?
At Charley’s Chums, we specialise in solo walks and small group adventures. This personal approach means we can really get to know each dog — their needs, their pace, what makes them happy — and tailor every walk to suit them. With fewer dogs to focus on, we’re able to give each one the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. It’s all about building trust, making every outing enjoyable, and helping your dog feel relaxed, understood, and happy.
Finding the Right Fit for Your Dog
It’s important to find the right dog walker for you — someone who takes the time to truly get to know your dog and provide the care, pace, and attention they need to feel safe, happy, and fulfilled. At Charley’s Chums, our solo and small group walks allow us to offer a personalised experience, making this service ideal for a wide range of dogs and their individual personalities.
Here are just some examples of dogs who might thrive with our approach...
Elderly Dogs
Older dogs often need a slower pace, more rest breaks, and a gentler approach. Our small, relaxed walks allow them to potter along at their own speed with no pressure to keep up, and we’re always happy to provide a little extra help and attention when needed.
Younger Dogs in Training
Puppies and younger dogs who are still learning the ropes often benefit from quieter, more focused walks. With fewer distractions and more one-on-one guidance, we can help reinforce your training and encourage good habits in a calm and supportive setting.
Reactive or Anxious Dogs
For dogs who find the outside world or other dogs a bit too much, solo walks offer a safe and controlled alternative. We can avoid busy areas, stick to familiar routes, and take things at a pace that feels right for them, all while giving them the space and reassurance they need.
Nervous or Shy Dogs
Some dogs are just a bit more reserved — and that’s perfectly okay. Our small group walks are ideal for gently building confidence, offering a chance to socialise in a calm environment with one or two other like-minded dogs who won’t overwhelm them.
High-Energy, Bouncy Dogs
Some dogs are full of beans — always on the go and full of enthusiasm! These lively pups often do best with one-to-one walks, where they can burn off energy in a calm, controlled way. If your dog pulls on the lead or finds group walks a bit too exciting, our focused approach gives them the attention and structure they need.
Dogs Who Deserve Something More
Maybe your dog doesn’t fall into any specific category — you just want to give them a little extra. A high-quality, tailored service that puts their needs first. That’s exactly what we offer: thoughtful, attentive care from someone who takes the time to connect with your dog.
