Frequently Asked Questions
-
We take a maximum of 6 dogs in each group, and each pack is thoughtfully considered depending on each dogs personality, location and ability with a emphasis on FUN!
-
Absolutely! We have a number of intact males in the squad, and are mindful to not include them in groups with any unspayed females.
-
We have over 120 dogs, and 47 different breeds in our pack! All dogs are welcome in the squad!
-
If your dog is great off leash, likes other dogs and enjoys an adventure then they will absolutely love to join us and will fit right in! We offer solo on lead walks also if your dog isn’t to be trusted running free!
-
Of course! Anything goes with us, just get in touch!
-
We sure do! We donate $10 from every walk to a different pet rescue and adoption organisation every month
-
Every walk includes pickup and dropoff, safe and street free locations, photos and of course treats!
-
We started in 2019 with 5 regular dogs, and have increased to over 120 pups since then! We are experts at finding great, off the grid locations!
-
Of course! We have puppies as young as 5 months old that have joined our group walks, and for the younger pups our Puppy Playdate option is great for socialisation, and less walking for their joints.
-
We stick to a general start time each morning for our group walks, however these can vary from between 730am and 930am depending on group sizes and locations, and most of the time we can also accommodate later morning requests also! Just ask!
-
We understand that the cost of living in Wanaka is high, and not everyone can afford to pay for dog walking. Please reach out to us and we would be happy to offer a discounted rate where possible.
-
Every so often on a weekend we host a party walk for dogs of the same breed!, absolutely free! Keep an eye on our facebook page for updates!
