Dog Walk at Cliveden National Trust | Buckinghamshire | Dogs in Yellow

Join us for a calm, self-guided awareness walk celebrating dogs who wear yellow and the owners who walk beside them every day. This is not a group set-off or a busy meet-up. Instead, it is a relaxed, supportive environment where you can arrive in your own time, walk at your own pace, and simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful with your dog.

Many owners of sensitive or fearful dogs avoid places like this because it can feel overwhelming. This day is about changing that. It is about celebrating yellow as a language of kindness and understanding, a visual way to show your dog’s voice and creating a space where owners feel supported as much as their dogs.

Who Is This Walk For?

This walk is for dogs who wear yellow space-awareness gear, dogs who are nervous, fearful, or recovering from injury or illness, and most importantly the owners who walk beside them every day. It’s for owners of dogs who wear yellow who want to celebrate the awareness and experience the support and understanding that comes from walking somewhere beautiful, with guidance from dog trainers and gentle education available throughout the day.

A gentle note: If being around other dogs would be too much for your dog, even with space, it’s absolutely okay to leave them at home where they feel safe. We would still love to meet you and hear about your dog’s journey over a coffee.

Yellow borrow bags for your anxious dog

We will also have a small number of borrow bags with yellow leads and lead slips available on the day for anyone who would like to take part but doesn’t yet have yellow gear. The aim is to create a gentle “sea of yellow” throughout the estate — a visual way of showing both the need for space and kindness to the dogs who need understanding.

Plus, for early sign-ups and while stocks last there will be a limited number of goody bags, designed to enhance a calmness, including a bag of Forthglade’s dual protein National Trust treats and natural ‘calming’ dental sticks. Plus, a calming spray for your dog, a calming pulse roller for you, and a few yellow awareness goodies designed to support both you and your dog.

What to Expect on the Day for anxious dogs

There will be a #DogsinYellow gazebo area where you can ask questions, pick up awareness leaflets, and take a moment before or after your walk. A calm Yellow Space Zone will be available for dogs arriving who may need a few minutes to settle using ACE free work. Volunteers and supportive trainers will be nearby if you would like guidance or simply a friendly face who understands.

This is not about walking together in a large group. Some people may choose to walk with a friend, others may prefer to walk alone both are absolutely fine. The intention is shared understanding, not shared pace.
