Why Choose Walks with the Pack for Dog Day Care?
Small Groups Guaranteed
Our walks are in manageable, small groups, typically of no more than five dogs, and our walkers are behaviourally aware and alert to how the group of dogs interact with each other; we will notice if play gets at all chaotic and we will calm things down by switching the most excited dogs to lead walking for a few minutes, or distracting with scent games, which tends to bring the energy levels down a notch or two. We usually avoid throwing balls or other toys as this can cause resource guarding among the group but if we know the group really well, then this sort of play is possible.
Example Day Care Schedule
90-minute Morning Hike
Your dog will be collected between 9.00 and 10.00 AM for locations in and around Bristol, and the group will head for the hills, forest and sometimes even the beach for a stimulating 90-minute hike.
Lunchtime Break
Your dog will enjoy some downtime at lunchtime, with plenty of opportunity to rest with a trained walker.
Afternoon Walk
After a much-needed rest, we head out for the afternoon session. Another exciting walk, usually closer to home, providing the perfect mix of exploration, play and mental stimulation.
A wash and dry!
At the end of the walk, we return to the vehicle where the doggy wash awaits, and muddy dogs will get a spray down and a towel down before hopping into their vet grade fur lined crate or doggy hammock for the journey home to you.
Hometime
The group are well rested and comfortable on their way home, and many of them nap on route to their homes in and around Bristol, while we tend to take in a podcast! Your dog will then be returned to your home between 4 and 5 PM.
