Winter arrives and worrying news from Bakers Park/Bradley Woods

So after a long mild and mostly dry Autumn, Winter does seem to have arrived. Two words – or one hyphenated one – Gore-Tex.

Can’t recommend this stuff enough, after trying various ‘other’ coats and coatings/materials and always ending up soaked through after an hour or so, I finally invested in a decent Gore-Tex coat and joy of joys I can. now withstand the worst the British weather can throw at me whilst walking the dogs!

On a different note, there have been worrying reports of an attempted dog theft at Bakers Park/Bradley Woods. I’ve not been able to find any details other than two males attempted to seize a dog from a guy walking his dog, he fought them off and no harm was done to the dog, but I imagine it must have been a nasty experience and worrying for anyone with a dog.

At D4Dog we are sticking to our policy of walking no more than 3 dogs and then only after careful vetting for suitability and compatibility. Almost all our walks are of single dogs or two dogs from the same household. Its less financially rewarding than taking several dogs at the same time, but I know what level of care and attention I would want for my dogs on a walk and I endeavour to provide that for my clients dogs.
