Who we are
Local walkers who know every stile, gate and shortcut.
Downs & Hounds began with one black Labrador, a pair of muddy wellies, and a love of the chalk paths above Goodwood. Today we're a small team of full-time walkers covering Chichester, Lavant, East Dean, Singleton and the villages around the estate.
We keep our packs small — never more than four dogs — so every walk feels personal. We're fully insured, DBS-checked, canine first-aid trained, and we'll happily natter to you for half an hour about your dog's favourite snack.

Kind words
From the people whose dogs we love.
Bertie comes home grinning, muddy and ready for a long snooze. Exactly what we hoped for.
Reliable, kind and clearly besotted with our two collies. We can't recommend them highly enough.
The weekly photos are the best part of our Wednesday. Hannah is a treasure.
