Walking dogs in IG5, honestly.

Written dog walker to dog walker. This is the ground truth the apps and lead sites have never stood in — at six in the morning, in the rain.

The doors. Terrace country around Clayhall: a cockapoo in the front bay, a staffie behind the yard gate, and both overdue their walk by eleven. Conversion flats double the doors per building — and a dog walked well from one flat has a way of recruiting the dog upstairs. Settled ground, by the numbers — around 137 recorded sales a year — where the round renews itself from inside the same houses: second dogs, repeat puppies, grandchildren's spaniels.

The parking. By half eight the kerbs here are taken — walkers either beat the rush or build the round so it doesn't matter. The pavements are the round's asset: pickups stack closer here than anywhere, and close pickups are paid minutes, not driving. The walking here is streets first — crossings drilled, loops varied — with the open-space trip earning its place as the day's main event.

The round. The round in IG5 works around Clayhall. Around 5,930 households live here, and the ones who take a dog walker keep them — five days a week, term time and holidays, years on end. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept.
