We found six dog-walking businesses in Wiltshire and Swindon whose own websites we could read, mostly around Chippenham, Calne and Swindon. Insurance, DBS and first-aid statements below are each business’s own claim, which we haven’t checked. Neither council requires dog walkers to be licensed, so always ask to see proof of insurance before you hand

Wiltshire is chalk downland, ancient forest and National Trust land, which makes for good dog walking, with sheep and ground-nesting birds to think about. We’ve given the rules we could confirm from official pages and said plainly where we couldn’t. Swindon is a separate council with its own rules, and we could not confirm a

Wiltshire has a thin but real spread of secure dog fields, and we could check three of them against the operators’ own sites. Several details, including some prices, fence heights and dog limits, weren’t confirmed, and we’ve said where. Ask about reactive dogs and the number of dogs allowed before you book. Fields we could

Wiltshire’s dog-friendly pubs cluster around Lacock, Marlborough and Devizes, with National Trust cafés at Lacock and Stourhead. Many entries rest on a CAMRA “Dog Friendly” tag that doesn’t say where dogs can sit, so we’ve given the detail where we found it and said so where we didn’t. A quick call before you go is

Wiltshire has plenty of places that say yes to dogs, but far fewer that publish the small print. We found one property with a full dog policy on its own website, and a longer shortlist from Wiltshire Council’s accommodation page where fees and limits weren’t confirmed. We’ve kept those two groups apart, so you know

West Yorkshire has plenty of dog walkers, but we could only reach a few own-website operators, and none lets us say more than “this is what they claim”. Our standard is strict: a walker is listed only if their own site shows they work in the county, and marketplace walkers need at least 50 reviews.

West Yorkshire runs from city parks in Leeds and Bradford to Pennine moors and wooded valleys, and its five councils don’t agree on dog rules. We’ve set out what each one says, and where we couldn’t confirm a detail we’ve said so. The county is landlocked, so there are no beach bans. Council rules Leeds

West Yorkshire is well served for bookable secure dog fields, with ten we could confirm from an operator’s own page, spread across Leeds, Wharfedale, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. Some pages leave out prices, fence heights or both, so we’ve marked what comes from a listing site. Confirm before you travel. Leeds and Bradford districts The

West Yorkshire is a good county for dog-friendly pubs, especially in Leeds, Saltaire, Ilkley and the Calder Valley. Most entries below rest on CAMRA’s “Dog Friendly” tag or a visitor-body page, which rarely say which rooms dogs can use, and several pubs have recently changed hands or names, so ring ahead. This is a sample,

West Yorkshire has city hotels in Leeds and Wakefield, country inns around Ilkley and cottages and lodges in the Calder Valley. Few publish a dog fee, so we’ve given the figures where an operator or chain stated them and said where we couldn’t find one. Coverage is partial, and we flag what needs a phone
