Variety is definitely the spice of life, when it comes to providing our dogs with an enriched, happy life.
Our aim is to make your dog's walk, one of the best outings of their lives, each and every time they walk with us.
As a result, we always vary our walking routes and change up the location daily/per walk.
We choose our walking spots for their ability to provide a large, safe and enclosed open space, where the pack can run around, play and generally be happy crazy dogs, as well as a wooded or planted area, which provides your dog with the enriching activity of sniffing.
Sniffing is very important for dogs, and offers them a way of understanding and gaining pleasure from their environment. It is also a great decompression activity, so we always end each pack walk with a period specifically dedicated to sniffing. This enables us to deliver your dog home, tired, relaxed and happy.
Our walking spots include:
Hampstead Heath
Waterlow Park
Parkland Walk
Coldfall Woods
and Alexander Palace Park
For dogs who board with us, we often take an extended weekend pack walk in Trent Park
Each of our pack walk dogs are collected on foot and taken on a structured lead walk.
We then meet up with another one of our happy dog packs in one of the local parks or open spaces.
Here, they will enjoy a wonderful free-play period of 90 minutes (weather permitting), which really is the highlight of the walk.
This free-play period allows the dogs to have plenty of space to run around, play together, explore their environment, and bond with the other members of their pack, and for those dogs who just wish to sit down on the grass and observe, there is no better vantage point to watch all the fun.
Once the dogs have had their fill of all the free-play fun, we head back home on foot and by the time each dog is dropped off, they are generally ready for a long drink of water and a relaxing nap.
It's a fancy term for dog walker (and your dog's superhero of course), but we like it.
Each of our pack walk leaders are experienced in professional dog walking., DBS checked and fully insured. Additionally, to ensure that each member of our dog pack is kept safe, our pack walk leaders have completed an inhouse, basic canine first aid course and always carry a first aid kit.
We limit the number of dogs that we lead walk together, with a maximum of four dogs per pack walk leader. This helps us to keep everyone safe.
It also allows us time to bond with each dog on a one-to-one basis (a great tool to help with recall training).
Before joining our happy pack walks, each dog is invited along with their owner to meet the rest of the pack.
This meeting allows us to observe both the new dog and the packs' compatibility.
Some dogs are happiest to be alone, and a pack walk may not be the best fit for them.
As we wish to avoid causing discomfort of any kind to these wonderful canine friends of ours, in these cases, it may be better for the owner to organise a solo walk. Which we may be able to accommodate
To keep the pack walk experience positive for everyone concerned, we are unable to take dogs with resource guarding, or any form of aggression or reactivity.
We also reserve the right to terminate the pack walk service to any dogs who display behaviour that may endanger the pack walk leaders, themselves, or the other dogs in the pack, even if this behaviour was not present during their initial observation / assessment.
Our ultimate aim to create a wonderful, fun pack walk and play-time experience for each and every one of the dogs present and in order to do this, we must ensure that all of them are compatible and happy to spend time together.
If you would like to book your dog into our service, please give us a call, or send us a message and we will contact you as soon as we can.
