Walking dogs in NN9, 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. Irthlingborough walks like a proper town patch — period streets with small gardens and social dogs, estates around them where both run bigger. In a town this size the pack IS the advert — the same five dogs crossing the middle of Irthlingborough at ten sharp does more than any leaflet ever will. The latest recorded year logged about 494 completions in this district — and where a dog rides in the removal van, a diary slot usually follows.

The parking. Permit zones don't exist on this patch — the old middle of Irthlingborough has market-day moments, the estates have none. Access, in full: park, clip leads, walk. The town supplies the rest. The edge of town is never far in a place this size — most rounds reach open ground within minutes, whichever direction the day starts.

The round. The round in NN9 works around Irthlingborough, Raunds, Finedon, Stanwick and Hargrave. Around 12,409 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.
