Whippet Walker in Wrexham
Whippets are quiet at home and lightning quick outside. As a Whippet walker in Wrexham, we plan for both: steady walks on the lead, sprints only in a secure space, and a warm coat in winter. We collect from your door and bring your Whippet home ready to curl up.
- Fully insured
- DBS checked
- First aid trained
How much exercise a Whippet needs
Whippets are a medium energy breed and need about 45 to 60 minutes of walking a day, plus a chance to sprint. Those sprints are short, fast bursts that need a secure, enclosed space.
A 45 minute solo walk covers the walking side, at a steady pace on the lead. We do not use an enclosed field, so Whippets stay on lead with us, and their sprints are best saved for your own secure garden.
Best Wrexham walks for Whippets
Erddig, the National Trust estate south of town, has waymarked routes for a pleasant on-lead walk. Look up the dog rules on the National Trust page before visiting.
The Clywedog Trail, flat and mostly surfaced, gives a steady route from Minera to Erddig. Around Rossett, the River Alyn lanes offer a quieter walk where we can spot wildlife before your Whippet does.
Which service suits
Solo walks are the right choice for most Whippets: 45 minutes, one walker, £20. One-to-one attention lets us keep a close eye on the prey drive and the lead.
If you have a pair, it is £5 for each additional dog. We would meet both at home first, then check how they walk side by side before booking them out together.

Walking Whippets: what we watch for
Prey drive is the main concern. A Whippet that spots a rabbit or squirrel can be gone in seconds, so we keep them on a secure lead in open spaces.
Winter is the other thing. Whippets need a coat in cold weather, and we walk in all weathers, so leave theirs by the door and we will put it on before every chilly walk.
