About Us


Bark & Buddy Club was born from a simple truth — life feels better with dogs by our side! Founded by James Murtagh, an equine management graduate & events business owner, the club began as a personal journey to find balance beyond the fast pace of work and city life.


After years of building his business, James found a sense of calm in the company of his two Dobermans, Heidi and Ellie. What began as a daily walk through the forest soon grew into a vision: a space where dog owners could come together, share experiences, and rediscover balance through their four-legged friends.


Bark & Buddy Club is more than a dog owners’ group—it’s a community built on friendship, wellbeing, and the joy of shared moments. From scenic group walks and social meetups to wellness events inspired by the natural world, every gathering is designed to strengthen the bond between humans and their dogs.


At its heart, Bark & Buddy Club is about slowing down, appreciating our beautiful natural world, and remembering what truly matters — companionship and the simple happiness of a wagging tail!
