Walking dogs in IP6, 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 — IP6 is lane-and-village country with a dog at nearly every gate. Stock fields set the rules: leads around livestock, closed gates left closed — and a walker the farmers trust is a walker the whole parish uses. New faces arrive at a steady drip — 372 completions in the latest recorded year — and none of them bring a dog walker with them.

The parking. Gateways and gravel everywhere, wardens nowhere. Long drives mean proper handovers — a minute with the owner, a note about the gate code — and a client relationship city rounds never build. 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 IP6 works around Needham Market, Upper Street, Otley, Great Blakenham and Witnesham. Around 7,899 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.
