Walking with dogs

The Ramblers encourages all walking groups to allow dogs on walks, although some walks aren’t ideal. Registered Assistance Dogs are allowed on any walk. Here are three alternative versions of proposed wording for insertion in the Further details — Additional notes section when uploading each walk. Use one option only — the first one is normally suggested.

• Dogs should be kept under control and no more than one dog per walker please 
• Dogs should be kept on a lead throughout the walk and no more than one dog per walker please
• Registered Assistance dogs only

Although the ultimate decision on whether to permit dogs lies with the individual walk leader, we don't want to give the impression that the Ramblers is not a dog friendly organisation.  

Walk coordinators – review and approve walks so they are published on the group website
