Mooch n’ Mingle

A relaxed social walk where dogs and their people learn, explore and enjoy real life together, alongside a supportive community of like-minded people.

Real life with a dog doesn’t happen in a training hall. It happens on walks. Around other dogs. At cafes. On paths. In conversations. In all the little everyday moments you navigate together.

And while most people would love to enjoy those moments more fully with their dog, it isn’t always easy to know how best to help them in real-life situations. How much interaction is okay? When does a dog need more space? How do you help an adolescent dog make good decisions, or a nervous dog grow in confidence? How do you balance freedom, social time, training and safety out in the real world?

Mooch n’ Mingle is a relaxed social walk built to help dogs and their people grow in confidence together out in the real world. It brings together thoughtful guidance, practical real-life coaching, good company and plenty of chances for dogs to walk, sniff, socialise, settle and learn alongside others.

We believe dogs deserve the chance to explore the world safely, in a way that makes sense to them as dogs. Mooch n’ Mingle gives you the chance to understand yours better through watching, chatting and sharing real experiences while you walk alongside a friendly group of like-minded people. For some dogs it helps build confidence around others. For others it’s simply a lovely, thoughtful social walk. People usually head home feeling more confident, more relaxed, and with a much better sense of their dog in everyday life.

What’s included:

• A relaxed social walk with practical support throughout
• Chances for dogs to socialise, on and off lead where it’s appropriate
• Help with recall, lead skills, play, confidence and real-life manners
• Cafe and coffee-stop practice in real-world settings
• A warm, supportive community feel
• A gentle introduction to the Love Your Paws way of doing things

Spaces are limited to keep every walk safe, supportive and enjoyable for dogs and people alike.

Whether you’d simply love a thoughtful social walk with your dog, want more confidence in real-life situations, or are looking for a gentle way into Love Your Paws, Mooch n’ Mingle is a lovely place to start.
