Step into Winter with Joy - Side by Side with Your Dog

As the nights draw in and the mornings turn crisp, winter can sometimes feel like a challenge - but it doesn’t have to be. Imagine stepping into the colder months full of energy, warmth, and connection, with your dog beside you. That’s exactly what Walking into Winter, our free week-long series of inspiring live talks, is all about.

Running from 15–22 October 2025 inside our free Facebook Group, this special event is your invitation to rediscover the joy of winter walks, cozy evenings, and mindful moments shared with your dog.

At Barket Place, we believe that winter can be a season of wellbeing - for both humans and dogs. With a little knowledge and inspiration, you can make these colder months not just bearable, but truly enjoyable.

Across the week, you’ll enjoy talks for a range of human and dog professionals, each sharing practical tips and heartfelt insights to help you and your dog thrive this winter.

Our founder Caroline Wilkinson with be discussing various topics throughout the week, including 'glimmer hunting' and how to cope with reactive relationships over the holiday season.

She'll be joined by a wonderful lineup of guests, including: Stephanie Zikmann from Holistic Dog Grooming; Petrina Firth from The Pet Coach; Debby from Kids Around Dogs; Andrew Hale of Dog Centred Care; our in-house trainer Susi Colclough; Ruby Leslie from Welfare for Animals; Dr Linda Blair (co-host of Supporting Both Ends of the Lead podcast alongside Caroline); Caroline Ingraham of Ingraham Method Innate Medication; Behaviourist Toni Shelbourne; Clair Hickson of Cockapoo52; and Jasmine St Cliere of Finding Balance with Jasmine.

Throughout the week, you can look forward to learning about nutrition, cold-weather walks, mindful dog-human connection, and ways to support your dog’s wellbeing when the days are short and the nights are long. Each talk is designed to give you practical tools and gentle motivation to create your happiest and healthiest winter yet.
