What makes a dog walker book out in Birmingham
The UK's second city has a green secret: leafy southern suburbs like Edgbaston, Moseley, and Harborne packed with dog owners, plus more miles of canal than Venice for varied towpath routes. Owners working in the city centre need a reliable midday walker, and the suburbs sit close enough together to run a tight route. Show up dependably through the British weather and the standing bookings follow.
