NATURE WALKS (pack walks)
Jogs for Dogs helps dog owners to look after their dog’s physical and mental health through providing the opportunity for exercise, stimulation and socialisation.
What: A forty minute pack walk/jog along a forest trail. The bush trails provide rich mental stimulation for dogs eg exciting smells and sounds to stimulate their senses. We include a play in the creek on hot days. On-leash.
Pick up & Drop off: Included in price. No need for you to be home. You dog needs to be available for pick up between 8am and 4pm on their booked day of the week. Suits customers who don’t need to know a pick up time.
Group/Pack: The composition of each group/pack is carefully managed for optimum enjoyment and safety. Our groups are kept to a manageable size (3-6 dogs in each group), and we work to create regular, familiar groups of dogs each day of the week.
Duration: 40 minute walk/jog, plus travel time. The average time away from home is 1.5 hours.
Location: The beautiful bush trails of Mt Coot-tha and surrounding bush trails.
Suits: All dogs who love getting outside for a walk, sniff, speedy jog, swim or just to enjoy the company of other dogs.
We have a range of groups to suit:
fast dogs who want to RUN
elderly or injured dogs (just a gentle walk and sniff)
small breeds
medium & large breeds
young pups who are not fully grown (we reduce the jogging to reduce risk of hip dysplasia)
*Please note that we will not accept dogs who are not already socialised, who are not easily controllable, those who display aggressive behaviours, or those who pull on the lead excessively.
