    Does anybody have any suggested of where to take Max for off lead walks?

    He's very nervous of other dogs at the moment so somewhere fairly quiet would be good - we've started a puppy training class for socialisation.

    I'm struggling to think of some good spots that aren't riddled with dogs and tons of people

    What area of Bristol do you live? I would avoid places like snuff mills and Blaise castle until he is a bit more confident. I live in North Bristol not far from parkway train station and have 2 walks I use a lot as they are generally quieter.....back of Bradley stoke woods and forty acres in Stoke Gifford. Hope this helps a bit :)

    And if you are near North Bristol, Wapley common is lovely, there are some quiet areas too, plus a small parking area (off Besom lane)

    Hi, I live in South Bristol, whereabouts are you? I might be able to recommend some local places :)

    Victoria Park in Bedminster is very friendly. They have a dog walkers Facebook page so you can probably find out who's going to be around for some puppy socialising.

    I walk in Redcatch Park in Knowle which is lovely on a sunny day for socialising with children, also football played there on Saturdays and some evenings.
