First 250 households: free for good
A walk planner your clients can use between sessions.
Trekosa matches walks to the dog: away from roads, clear of livestock, with fewer gates and stiles, and the council dog orders shown on the way. It gives no training advice and touches none of your methods. We are in every county in England, all of Wales and all of Scotland.

Your clients' dogs
How a client describes their dog
They talk for a couple of minutes, the way they would tell you, or tap their answers. Other dogs, bikes, livestock, noise, a dog who needs room to pass: whatever it is becomes a short list that every walk is matched against.
- Say it, or tap itA couple of minutes, in your own words or one tap at a time. We never keep a recording.
- Nothing is kept until you have read itYou see it written down and can change any of it first.
- Your list, not a crowd'sWalks are matched to what you told us, not to what is popular, so nobody is sent to the same place as everybody else.
An example of telling Trekosa about a dog called Skye. Her owner answers the first question out loud, picks where she goes off the lead from a list, and ticks what she finds hard. Trekosa then shows her profile and what her walks have to do: away from livestock, off the roads, water on the way.
Finding a walk
Walks that fit, one at a time
Tell us where to start and how far to go. We look through the walks we hold near there, leave out any that clash with what you told us, and bring you six that suit. Say yes or no to each and the next one comes.
- It never tells anybody a walk is safe. It says what walkers reported and when it was last confirmed.
- Nothing is ranked and there is no top ten, so a quiet place is not sent to everybody at once.
- Quiet is always a time of day, from walkers who were there, with the date they last confirmed it.
Our promise
What we will never tell you
- That a walk is safeNot safe, not secure, not fine off the lead. We cannot know it, the ground changes week to week, and being wrong about that once can set a household back months.
- A top tenA ranked list sends everybody to the same place, which is the fastest way to spoil a quiet one. You get a short list for your dogs. The next person gets a different one.
- Silence, where we know nothingIf nobody has walked it yet, the app says so. If we could not get a council's dog rules, it says that too. An empty space looks like good news, and we will not let it.
What you get instead is the date. Every fact carries who reported it, how many of them, and when it was last checked. Where our data comes from.
Questions
Questions people ask
Short answers, in plain words.
- Do I have to recommend it?
- No. It is free to try and there is nothing to sign. If it is useful between sessions, give your clients the link.
- Does it say how to train a dog?
- No. It gives no training advice and touches none of your methods. It helps an owner find a walk that suits the dog, and the training stays with you.
- Will it promise a client a walk will go well?
- No. Nobody can know that, and we will not pretend to. We never call a walk safe. We show what walkers have reported, who reported it and when it was last confirmed, and what is on the ground.
- How would I know a client came from me?
- Your link carries a code, so we can count the households that join through it.
- What does it cost?
- It is free while we build. The first 250 households to walk a route and check in have Further, the paid tier, free for good.
- Does it work where I live?
- We are in every county in England, all of Wales and all of Scotland. Put in a postcode and it shows you the walks we hold near there.
- Is it on iPhone?
- Yes, in your phone's browser. The Android app is on Google Play, and an iPhone app is on its way.
