Walk and Connect with Bobbi-Rae
Join the community. Build confidence. Strengthen bonds.
Walk and Connect is your space for calm, confidence-building experiences outdoors - for both dogs and their humans. Whether you're here to gently socialise your dog, meet like-minded people, or take a breather from daily pressures, these sessions are designed to help you connect: to your dog, to others, and to yourself. We offer two types of supportive group experiences:
Social Walks: Structured group walks designed to improve calmness, focus, and confidence.
Chill & Chat: A slower-paced, settle-focused session with space to breathe, observe, and reflect.
Social Walks
For dogs who need practice staying calm and focused around others. Social Walks are more than just a chance to stretch your dog’s legs - they’re an opportunity to connect with like-minded dog owners, enhance your handling and training skills, and give your dog valuable real-world experiences in a supportive environment.
Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s focus around distractions, enjoy structured group walks, or simply meet others who share your passion for dogs, these walks are designed to meet you where you are.
What Social Walks are all about
If you’re like many dog owners, your dog might love a quick play session with friends but rarely gets the chance to walk calmly alongside other dogs. While racing around with a buddy is fun for five minutes, it doesn’t help with focus, recall, or calmness. Social Walks are designed to support your dog in developing these important skills.
During each walk, your dog will:
- Learn how to interact calmly with other dogs.
- Practise walking in a group without fuss.
- Build confidence in new environments.
- Strengthen their focus on you, even around distractions.
Every walk is structured to give both dogs and humans the space to relax and grow at their own pace. Unless stated otherwise, all walks are on-lead to ensure everyone feels safe and supported. Once your dog has been assessed on an on-lead walk, you can join our training walks which can prepare you for off lead adventures
Whats included on the Social Walks
Expert guidance
I’ll be leading each walk, offering advice and answering questions along the way. Some walks have training themes, while others are simply a chance to enjoy time in nature with your dog and the community. Either way, I’m here to help you build confidence and improve your skills.
Community connection
Join a growing group of like-minded dog owners who share your goals and values. Every participant is added to our dedicated WhatsApp group, where we share updates, tips, and keep in touch between walks.
Unique experiences
Our walks take place along some of Wales’ most beautiful coastline and dog-friendly locations. You’ll also have the chance to join longer off-lead adventures, dog-friendly café visits, and a monthly online Q&A session for tailored training advice.
Chill & Chat
For dogs and humans who thrive with a slower pace and space to settle.
New for 2025, Chill & Chat Sessions take place in my private field and offer a unique blend of gentle socialisation, observational learning, and calm connection. These sessions are ideal for dogs who are working on settling around others, or for humans who want to slow down and breathe without the pressure of constant movement or obedience.
We begin with a short, on-lead walk around the field to allow the dogs to explore and decompress. Then, we transition into a seated circle, where dogs can learn the art of doing nothing while humans enjoy a cuppa and good conversation.
What Chill & Chats are all about
- Supporting dogs to settle near others without pressure.
- Providing humans a chance to unwind, observe, and share.
- Encouraging calm presence over constant doing.
- Creating a safe space to talk openly, ask questions, and feel part of a like-minded group.
This is where training, connection, and community gently come together. There’s no rush here - just space to connect and grow, in whatever way you and your dog need.
What our community says
"I've been thrilled with Seren's progress on the social walks. Both she and I have grown in confidence and she's calmer and happier on the group walks which has spilled over onto our other walks without the group. She's a happier dog who's enjoying life so much more!"
Sue John
"The social walks have helped Scooby calm down and walk nicely with other dogs instead of bouncing at all dogs. You have Bobbi's expertise on hand to learn how to deal with situations as they arise. Its great for us to meet other dog walkers that are working on similar goals"
Sarah Powell
"It's amazing how my nervous dog has managed to make friends with others in the group. Bobbi pays individual attention to each and every dog and owners, taking time to discuss their individual needs"
