A Thoughtful Approach to Group Walking

We keep groups small to maintain quality and individual attention - with careful matching based on temperament to ensure positive interactions.

From pick-up to drop-off, behaviour is guided and reinforced:

Polite greetings
Waiting for their name before jumping out of the School Bus
Practising obedience - sit, stay, down, leave it, come
Structured, closely supervised play

We're a team in this: the more homework you and your dog practice 1:1, the more we can reinforce in and build on it in the group. It's difficult to teach a dog something entirely new in a group setting, so our sessions work best as reinforcement of what you're already building together at home. If you'd like extra guidance on what to practice, we also offer private training sessions.

Suitability & Placement

All new dogs are assessed by Maddy prior to commencing their first trial walk. Groups are matched by personality first, location second. Suitable for social dogs who enjoy making new friends in the park. Contact us to arrange a FREE 15 MINUTE MEET & GREET at your home.

Off-Leash Policy

Our main pre-requisite is that dogs must have reasonably reliable recall for safety.
Dogs begin on a long training leash while rapport is built and responsiveness is assessed.
Off-leash is granted when recall and group reliability are confidently demonstrated.

Schedule

We walk Tuesday - Friday.
Total time out is approximately 1-2hrs. Unlike many companies, this includes a full hour in the park, PLUS pick-up & drop-off in the school bus.
We do our best to accommodate preferences, but times will vary.
To maintain stability within each group, a minimum weekly commitment is required. Bookings of 2+ days are prioritised.
Placements are limited. Waitlists may operate during busy periods.

Locations

Pick-up areas: North Randwick, North Coogee, Clovelly, Bronte, Waverley & Queens Park
We place value on variation and rotate between select local parks, including: Queens Park, Centennial Park, Varna Park, Barden Park & more.

Pricing & Billing

You may receive text and/or email updates for booking reminders.
$50 per walk (incl. GST), billed after each session.

Weather Policy

We walk rain or shine! We do our best to return them clean, however dogs may return sandy or damp after their adventures - please provide towels.
In adverse weather, walks may be adjusted to ensure comfort and safety: earlier start times, shorter walks, shaded routes, water breaks, etc.
