Our first Walk & Talk dog walk

What do you get when you combine 20 dogs, their owners, coffee, and plenty of our Game On treats?
Our first Different Dog Walk & Talk dog walk!
This October, we had the pleasure of hosting our first community dog walk. We gathered together some of our amazing Pup Partners and local customers and headed off on a gentle morning stroll around the Quarry in Shrewsbury, coffees in hand from local barista Patch, keeping us warm & caffeinated!

With it being England, we couldn't fully trust the weather forecast, and the rain just wouldn't take the hint to stay away. We were promised a dry morning – sorry everyone! But, even with a bit of drizzle, everyone was in high spirits, and we were thrilled that all the four-legged attendees behaved so well. Phoebe did enjoy a nice roll around in the mud, which Meg “definitely” appreciated when she attempted to steal all of our treats from her cream tote bag.
“Do I smell treats?”
Our co-founder Alex and the famous Crumble joined us and Crumble was particularly excited to meet everyone. She was a bit impatient at first and wanted to crack on with the walk, but her attention shifted when she noticed the treats being handed out - what a coincidence!
The group went on a lovely walk around the Quarry, which gave the pups plenty of room to be comfortable and have a run around when they needed to. Although a few of them were a bit nervous at the beginning, they soon settled into the relaxed atmosphere and made some new furry friends.
Our team loved meeting everyone. Whether our walkers were long-term customers or this was their first time hearing all about Different Dog, it was wonderful to get to know everyone and, of course, all of their wonderful dogs!
We’re so grateful that so many of you wanted to spend your Saturday morning with us. If you missed out on this one, don’t worry! We’re already planning our next walk. Keep an eye on our social media pages and our Facebook group “Devoted to Dogs” to be the first to hear about our next one.
