Social Walk ·
Make the world yours.
Your everyday becomes your playground.
The world can be overwhelming for your dog: every session we work somewhere well off your usual route, with a few surprises along the way.
· Did you know? ·
Social bonds and belonging are two of your dog's 12 core needs. Walking together, discovering together, learning surrounded by mates: it matters, and it touches several pieces of your Epic Dog Lifestyle puzzle. I hand you the keys to calmer walks and good encounters.
Discover the 12 pieces of the puzzle →Social Walk · Make the world yours: what is it?
A group walk, four dogs maximum, but not just any group walk: here we bring two worlds together. Socialising in a group, and discovering rich, varied environments. Your dog learns surrounded by mates, in places neither of you knows yet, every single session. He finds out the world is a playground, not a threat. Sessions that grow your team, one step at a time.
Smart socialising, reading canine communication, handling emotions, passing other dogs, staying calm on the move: we naturally work on everything your real life is made of. Because a balanced walk is not four over-excited dogs playing from start to finish. It is knowing how to alternate play, quiet, exploring, pauses, and the moments where dogs simply take their time to sniff and watch what is around them: bikes, joggers, scooters, prams… 🌿
It is also a chance to meet other dogs: big, small, young, senior, with different temperaments and different ways of communicating… and sometimes to see your own dog in a new light.
Walks that leave a mark
Who is it for?
For anyone who wants to learn to read their dog, enrich his life, and head off fears of the environment. For you, if you want backup to be sure you are getting it right, if you are preparing for holidays with a dog who is comfortable anywhere, or if you simply fancy doing new things in a group, alongside other owners and their dogs.
Which dogs is it for?
Every breed, every age. For dogs who love dogs and dream of meeting more of them. For puppies in the middle of socialising, one per group, surrounded by adults who set the example. For shelter dogs being shown the world. And for slightly nervous dogs, who learn better surrounded by calm mates.
What your dog gets out of it
Your dog learns without noticing, having fun with humans and with mates. He moves through his days more relaxed, because he has worked out that his surroundings are one big playground and not something terrifying.
And what you get out of it?
You leave with answers, with ideas, and with a dog tired in the best possible way. Walk after walk, you also learn to:
- › watch before stepping in,
- › tell when to let it happen… and when to step in,
- › make the group flow better,
- › spot when two dogs are not a match,
- › build calmer, better balanced walks.
And because Epic Dog is a human adventure too, the owners talk, learn, and swap experiences with people who care as much as they do.
Sessions that grow your team, one step at a time.
How do the sessions work?
We walk in a small group, four dogs maximum. A different place every session: a village, a market, the water's edge, somewhere busy... plus a few surprises along the way. Sixty minutes, at the group's pace.
Real added value for your dog, and for the two of you.
€25 / session

Book my place →Frequently asked questions
My dog isn't perfectly trained, can we still come?+
Yes: come exactly as you are, both of you. Walking is precisely where the learning happens.
Can I come just once to try it?+
Yes, that is the beauty of the Social Walk: single sessions exist, €25. Book your place and come and see.
My dog is nervous, is this right for him?+
Yes. Small group, distance, a pace that suits him: your dog moves forward surrounded by calm mates, in his own time.
Can my puppy join in?+
Yes, puppies are welcome, in limited numbers: one puppy per group. That way he is surrounded by adult dogs and learns from the grown-ups: the codes, the communication, the calm.
My dog is reactive with other dogs, can we come?+
Yes, but in the right order: first we solve the reactivity together in coaching, then we join the group. That way the walk becomes a genuinely good experience for your dog and for the others.
