Social Walks
Calm, Structured Group Walks with Ongoing Guidance
£15
Approximately 1.5 Hours-2.5 Hours depending on Location
Supportive group walks are designed to help dogs and their humans navigate real-life social environments with confidence.
At Adventures with Tilley, Social Walks are not chaotic pack walks. They are calm, structured, and guided, with continued support throughout.
This is where your dog begins to apply everything they’ve learned, in a real-world setting, with the right support in place.
Before You Join
To ensure the right fit for both you and the group, all new clients must complete a 1:1 assessment before joining Social Skills Walks.
This allows us to:
Understand your dog’s behaviour, needs, and triggers
Make sure this is the right next step
Set you up with the right guidance from the start
Keep all dogs and owners safe and supported
We will always recommend the most suitable starting point for your dog, whether that’s Neutral Walks, Social Skills, or alternative support.

Social Walks are ideal for dogs who:
Are ready for controlled social interaction

Benefit from calm, structured group environments
Are working towards more natural social behaviour
And for owners who:

What to Expect
Owners attend with their dogs, and training is built into every walk.
