# Holly and The Dogs: Winchester Dog Walker
Holly and The Dogs is a professional dog walking service based in Winchester, Hampshire, run by Holly—an IMDT certified dog walker with eight years of experience in the field. The business specialises in enriching group walks tailored to individual dogs' needs, with particular expertise in gundog training and care.
The service caters to dog owners in Winchester and surrounding areas who need reliable, experienced care whilst they're at work or busy. Holly welcomes all breeds but has developed a strong reputation for working with gundogs, incorporating retrieving exercises, scent work, and impulse control training into every outing.
What sets Holly and The Dogs apart is the commitment to positive reinforcement-based training combined with genuine enrichment. Walks last a minimum of one hour, predominantly taking place in Hampshire's countryside. The company operates a professional setup including a van with secure, ventilated dog crates and an on-site dog washer—ensuring dogs arrive home clean. Group sizes remain comfortable, preventing the chaotic experience common with larger dog-walking operations.
Holly's credentials are impressive: voted Winchester's Best Dog Walker in both 2024 and 2025 by the Quality Business Awards, ranked in the top three on Three Best Rated, and awarded Dog Walking Company of the Year for Hampshire by the Prestige Awards. She maintains first aid certification and continues advanced training in gundog skills.
Beyond regular walks, the business offers occasional Adventure Days (up to three hours in the New Forest or at the beach) and house/dog sitting for regular members. This is professional dog care that genuinely prioritises canine wellbeing and development.
