Enrichment & Socialisation
Adventures
Is Your Dog Bored at Home While You Work?
Send your dog on a "Pawsome" adventure! Adventures focus on enrichment, socialisation and practicing basic manners. Our goal is for your dog to go home a happier, better behaved pup. Our packs of 2 - 7 Zoomers are carefully curated in order to maintain a calm, controlled environment which allows learning, safe play and the handlers full attention.
Adventures take place twice a day Monday - Thursday in Cromwell, Clyde and Alexandra. Each adventure includes pick up, drop off and an hour mostly off leash at a dog friendly track or open area. AM pick ups take place between 8:30AM - 10AM. AM drop offs take place between 10:30AM - 12PM. PM pick ups take place between 11AM - 12:30PM. PM drop offs take place between 1PM - 2:30PM.

Mr Tank has the best days when out with Lisa. I truly feel she really likes him and takes very good care of him like if he was her own.

Requirements
MEET AND GREET It can be unsettling handing your pup over to a stranger which is why I like to meet clients and their dogs before dogs attend an adventure.
AGE Please disclose if your dog is under 6 months so we can evaluate whether they are ready for adventures.
NEUTERED / SPAYED Please disclose whether your dog is desexed. This is important when forming a pack. Dogs that are not can cause disruption in an environment with other dogs.
BEHAVIOUR Dogs must be well socialised and non aggressive toward dogs and people.
BASIC COMMANDS AND RECALL Dogs must understand basic commands. Most importantly recall. It is very important that dogs are able to follow directions.
VACCINATIONS All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations.
REGISTRATION All dogs must be fully registered with the council.
COLLARS AND TAGS All dogs must wear a collars and tags for adventures.

Practicing Basic Manners
How many dogs walk together on an adventure?
An adventure can take anywhere from 2 - 8 pups depending on the day. Our packs are carefully curated for safety and behavioural reasons.
Do you walk in various weather conditions?
Yes. Rain and cold weather are no problem with the right equipment! If a walk is scheduled, count on it taking place. If for any reason we need to cancel an adventure, you will receive a text message prior to pick up time.
What locations do the adventures take place?
Location is dependent on how many dogs are attending, the location of pick ups and drop offs, the weather and personalities of pups in the pack. Our goal is always to go somewhere that promotes our packs practicing good behaviour and being able to run free safely.
What is used for transport?
Your pup will be transported in the our Zoomies van (which is a converted van we use both to go away on holiday as well as making it a pup transportation paradise)! That means no big bad van scares, air conditioning, window gazing and no doggo funny business.
What happens in case of an emergency?
Lisa and Jasmyne are PET First Aid trained. A first aid kit is kept in the van at all times. If necessary, dogs will be taken to their local nearest vet.
What if one of the dogs on the adventure is deemed reactive and could be dangerous to another dog or the public?
If this happens this dog will not be able to attend any further adventures. Safety of all dogs, handlers and members of the public is priority.
Lisa's Mission
Through working with 100s of different dogs around the world, Lisa has built the understanding that training, adventure and nutrition are essential for dog's general well-being, behaviour and happiness. Her mission with Zoomies is to help dogs and their owners use what she has learned to build a life they love together and strengthen the owner to dog bond.
