Walking dogs in M18, 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. Terrace country around Gorton: a cockapoo in the front bay, a staffie behind the yard gate, and both overdue their walk by eleven. Conversion flats double the doors per building — and a dog walked well from one flat has a way of recruiting the dog upstairs. People put roots down here — the latest recorded year managed only around 264 sales — and rooted households keep one walker for a dog's whole lifetime.

The parking. CPZ territory: the rounds that last are built around one honest parking spot and a collection loop that walks from it. Tight clusters win — five clients within ten minutes' walk of each other beat eight scattered across three zones. 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 M18 works around Gorton. Around 10,217 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.
