FAQ's
Getting Started
Do new dogs need a Meet & Greet?
Yes. All new dogs begin with a Meet & Greet before joining our walks.
This allows us to get to know your dog, understand their needs, and ensure they’re a good fit for our small-pack adventure walks.
What training does my dog need?
No formal training is required.
Your dog should be comfortable around other dogs and people. We’re happy to assist with basic lead manners and can gradually work on recall as trust builds. Dogs without reliable recall may remain on lead for longer while we establish a strong relationship.
My dog isn’t desexed — can they still join?
We assess entire dogs on a case-by-case basis.
-
Male dogs: Depending on age and temperament, we may arrange a trial period to ensure pack harmony.
-
Female dogs: When a dog is in season, we’re unable to take them on walks due to the risks involved.
My dog is reactive or aggressive — can you help?
If your dog is aggressive toward other dogs or people, we’re unable to include them in group walks.
We’re happy to recommend experienced trainers. Once your dog has worked with a trainer, we may be able to reassess them under a trial period.
The Walks
How long are your walks?
Our adventure walks typically run for around 90 minutes and include a mix of on-lead and off-lead walking where appropriate.
All new dogs remain on lead initially until trust and familiarity are established.
Do you do more than one walk per day?
Yes. We run morning and afternoon adventure walks.
Full Day options include participation in both walks, providing around three hours of exercise split across the day.
Where do you go on your walks?
We explore a range of local parks, beaches, and walking tracks across our service area.
We rotate locations to keep walks interesting while maintaining familiar routines that help dogs feel settled and confident.
Pack Structure & Safety
How many dogs are in each pack?
We limit packs to a maximum of eight dogs.
This allows us to maintain calm energy, safe interactions, and attentive supervision. We intentionally avoid large packs and oversized vans.
Are your walkers trained?
Yes. Our walkers are experienced in dog handling and group management, with training in animal behaviour awareness and pet first aid.
They’re carefully selected for their calm, observant approach and genuine care for dogs.
What should my dog bring?
Your dog should wear a collar with their Council ID tag attached. A name tag with your contact details is also recommended.
You don’t need to supply leads, poop bags, or treats — we carry everything required.
Logistics & Payments
What time is pickup and drop-off?
Pickup times vary depending on location and the day’s pack. Morning pickups generally begin around 7am, with afternoon pickups typically starting around midday.
Drop-off times vary based on traffic, walk location, and pack size. On average, dogs are in our care for around four hours on a half-day walk.
We prioritise calm, unrushed routines over rigid timing.
How can I follow along with my dog’s adventures?
We share selected photos on Facebook and Instagram.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit card, bank transfer, and cash.
All services must be paid for prior to or at the commencement of walks. For cash payments, please have the correct amount as walkers don’t carry change.
What areas do you service?
We operate across Auckland.
If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, please get in touch and we’ll happily confirm.
