Hi, I’m Josh
I’m the person behind Lead Me Out, bringing personal dog walking and home visits to Feltham, Hanworth, Sunbury and surrounding areas.
Experience, patience and a love of the outdoors
Lead Me Out brings together over 15 years of involvement in greyhound welfare, professional dog care and a genuine passion for canine wellbeing.
My background includes working with retired racing greyhounds, kennel management, rehoming and professional dog daycare, where I gained experience in group supervision, enrichment and the safe transportation of dogs. Along the way I have got to know dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities. A good walk starts with understanding the dog at the end of the lead.
I am also a qualified canine first aid instructor and have been accredited since 2018.
Some dogs love exploring with a companion. Others prefer one-to-one attention or a gentle visit at home. Whatever their breed, I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and find out what works for them.
Small groups, personal attention
Lead Me Out is a more personal approach to dog walking: small groups, individual attention, and a walk that is safe, enjoyable and enriching.
Adventure walks are for a maximum of two compatible dogs, with a full 60 minutes of walking. Keeping things small means I can give each dog plenty of attention and match walking companions thoughtfully, considering their confidence, energy and comfort travelling together.
Individual Walks and home visits offer a more personal option for dogs who are happier with their own company.
A particular understanding of sighthounds
Working with retired racing greyhounds has given me a particular understanding of greyhounds and an interest in the wider sighthound family. If you share your home with one, I’d love to hear about them and talk through the care, handling and walking arrangements that suit them.
That experience is part of what I bring to Lead Me Out, alongside a warm welcome for dogs of every breed.
Let’s meet first
We’ll start with a meet-and-greet so you and your dog can get to know me. We’ll chat about their routine, what they enjoy, anything they find difficult and how collection and return would work.
It’s your chance to ask questions and decide whether Lead Me Out feels like a good fit.
