Walking dogs in PO17, 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. Mud to the hubs in November, glory in May — PO17 is lane-and-village country with a dog at nearly every gate. A farmhouse pair of labradors will happily hold down a whole morning — country money is fewer bookings, held longer, worth more. Across PO17, sold boards went up roughly 101 times in the latest recorded year — each one a household about to rebuild its dog's routine.

The parking. Nobody out here has ever paid to park — the question is never the kerb, it's the miles between gates. Draw the round like a postal route — geography first, clock second — and the distances stop costing anything. Lanes, bridleways and field margins make the round — with the farmer's blessing worth more than any park gate key.

The round. The round in PO17 works around Wickham, Southwick, North Boarhunt, Newtown and Hundred Acres. Around 2,976 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.
