Walking dogs in TQ2, 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. Around Shiphay the semis have drives and proper gardens; nearer Barton the streets tighten — and a labrador is asleep in half the kitchens either way. A garden is a toilet, not a walk — the honest line every good walker delivers on the doorstep here, and the one that wins suburban clients for years. Puppies follow moving vans as surely as spring follows winter, and this patch moves roughly 519 households in a normal year.
The parking. The van goes off-road at most estate addresses; the older corners just want a sensible collection order. Easy access means a tight diary — two full group walks plus visits before lunch is routine here, not heroics. 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 TQ2 works around Shiphay, Barton, Cockington, Watcombe and Chelston. Around 15,829 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.

What owning TQ2 is actually worth
Put it the way you'd put it at the park gate: one kept dog pays for the page several times over, every single year. And unlike an app, the second dog doesn't cost you a penny more.
