which do you prefer for your pet?

whilst some like their pet out in a group to socialise with interaction & to be around other pets.
Others prefer one to one, where their pet gets sole attention usually allowing the pet more human contact and if training is involved, to allow continuation of the owners preferred training methods.

I would love Lilly to be able to go on group walks but she tends to either ignore other dogs or just go for them without warning. So 1 to 1 walks is kind of enforced for us - it does allow us to make sure she still carries on with training though.

I think a bit of both really, it is always nice to go out with others given the chance.

we only have 2 dogs that need walking on their own but most of our clients like the idea of their doggy socialising with their own kind, We find groups of 4 work well and we intergrate ages but equally we wouldn't put a 13 year old dog with a 6 month old puppy. At present we have 3 groups working well together. The group i do is the boarder collie group which consists of lots of play, stick fetching, ball fetching, some agility and lots of water. This little group is a great group although we do have 2 leaders of the pack , but thats me and the older male dog
