We meet every Saturday at 10am to walk and socialise our kennel hounds. Walking the hounds that are still in kennels is an extremely rewarding activity.

The dogs are taken for a countyside walk where they can do lots of sniffing and rolling on the grasses.  As well being enjoyable, the walks give the dogs the opportunity to socialise safely with other hounds, humans and to learn good lead manners.  Regular walkers get to see some of the more scared, confused or nervous dogs start to flourish and gain in confidence over time.  Some of the dogs have the chance for supervised off lead playtime in the paddock where they can run and play with toys.

Primarily kennel hound walks are for the benefit of the dogs, but they are also a great time to catch up with other volunteers.   After the walk the dogs have special treats placed in their kennels so they have something to enjoy after their time outside.   The volunteers also help to make sure there are toys in the kennels for the dogs to play with and plenty of bedding.
