I am Catherine Adams t/a Walkies The Board Game ®. As a separate venture, over the past 5 years I have been running my own Limited company as a Professional Dog Walker and Home Boarder. During that time, I have noticed a dramatic increase in dog ownership. As a result, I have designed created and developed a fun, informative and strategic family board game all about dogs to encourage people to think more about dog ownership and to help improve dog owner etiquette.  

My game is entirely self-funded, professionally designed and manufactured. It has gained UKCA and CE Certification for those aged 7 years plus. 

I first launched my game at the Birmingham NEC UK Games Expo 2023 and I have exhibited at several Trade and Craft Shows since. My game has been universally well received with many positive comments as to the high quality of the product and the concept. As a confirmed exhibitor at Crufts 2024, also at the Birmingham NEC, I am looking forward to showcasing my game to the wider dog caring community. 

I am also looking forward to expanding into Retail.

  • Sustainability Role in overall company's strategic plans
    I wanted to make the game as eco-friendly as possible.

    There is hardly any plastic in the game and I ensured that the game was sealed with 4 round stickers rather than surround wrap.

    I was offered to have the players made into figurines. Although this would be more esthetically pleasing, I decided against it because the plastic could not be recycled.
