Waggy Walks Week 2026 – Chantry Wood, Surrey
Join us for a guided group dog walk around these beautiful woodlands with fantastic views of the Surrey Hills. This circular walk follows a 4.8km route through the woodlands. There are some steep sections, but the views make the effort worthwhile! We’ll walk at a gentle pace, allowing our dogs plenty of opportunities to engage with the environment along the way. The walk should take around two hours, depending on the pace of the group.
It’s free to attend, but places are limited so please be sure to book.

Nervous dogs: We want this walk to be enjoyable for everyone, so if you have a nervous dog, please feel free to join us, but leave more distance between yourself and the main group to give your dog space. Before touching/feeding/approaching an unknown dog, please check with the owner that this is okay.
Important note about dog walking equipment: We cannot allow the use of prong collars, shock collars (sometimes called e-collars), choke chains, or any other kinds of aversive equipment on our walks. These tools pose safety risks and fall outside of our ethical guidelines, so we kindly ask that you leave them at home. You are still welcome to join us using a standard collar or harness, and we are happy to discuss why we take this stance and ethical alternatives.
