Dog-on Adventures was started out of a love of our furry friends. I'm Stef and I have 3 beautiful Alaskan Huskies who love going on adventures and even better when they get to meet new friends on their travels. I figured my dogs can't be the only ones like this so why not provide an environment where they can adventure together. I have several years experience working with dogs around the world fr

om rescuing unwanted babies, to working with elite athletes in the snow, to pampering pooches in day cares. So rest assured your babies are safe to explore and play with their pack mates. I believe a happy content dog is one that is both physically and mentally stimulated. I know when there is a day I can't take my dogs out for some reason I feel bad about it, and I know many of us work and have busy lives that it is not always possible to provide your dog with an adventure everyday. Here is where I want to help. Our 'Walkin' the bark' pack adventures provide your dog with a great way to get their exercise, jumping into swimming holes, running and playing with their pack mates. This is also a great way to mentally stimulate your pooch, seeing and experiencing new places, all the smells to take in and all the doggy conversations they will have. A meet and greet is essential before your dog can be placed into a pack. I will come and collect your dog and then the rest of the pack, drive us out to our location where we can enjoy our expedition and then return your dog home happy and ready for their nap. I want to provide both on and off leash adventures where possible. The first few trips with any new dog will always be on lead until I can build a relationship with your dog for off leash adventures. Longlines, GPS collars and training collars can also be used if need be to make sure your dog is always the safest they can be whilst having the most fun. The 'GeePaw Sled Dog Skills' will provide you with the skills and knowledge to enjoy stimulating your pooch too. Pulling and working is both physically and mentally demanding for your dog and yourself and you will both feel the rush and excitement afterwards while happily relaxing. Check out our services section for more information on times and prices. What you can expect from us...
*We adventure in almost all weather conditions as dogs always love to get out. (This means your dog might not always come back as clean as they left the house).
*We use high quality acana kibble for our adventure treats
*We use compostable poo bags
*Dogs are always 'clipped in' while travelling.
*We try our best to find quiet trails and places for our adventures and we don't go to the same place everyday so it keeps it more exciting. What we expect from you to join one of our Walkin' the Bark packs...
*Dogs must be at least 9 months old
*Dogs must be fully vaccinated and desexed (unless prior discussion)
*Dogs must not be agressive
*Dogs must have good recall and verbal control.

Walkin' the Bark Wednesday packs

Beautiful day to be out having fun in the sun and making sure to get a splash along the way too.

Our morning crew will have all smelt amazing after their run through all the lovely flowering thyme.

Our afternoon kids enjoying finding the puddles along the way on their walk today, thankfully being able to splash and wash off in the dam before heading on home. They definitely won't be smelling as amazing as the morning crew though.

Walkin' the Bark Tuesday packs.

It is always a good day out enjoying the view from above and splashing in the water down below. Especially on such a stunner of a day. Our morning and afternoon packs both making the most of their time.

Cruizy having a bit of a social day and being the perfect girl. Getting rewarded by charging round the paddocks.

MadVenture Monday

Lots of fun for the morning crew today as always. Starting off with lots of sniffing in the tasty grass for tiny treats. Playing and enjoying the toys and water on a hot day.

Our golden oldies enjoying their sniffari time and lots of splashing. Even getting a little rain to keep fresh.

Many of you know last weekend we enjoyed bringing together the inaugural The Naseby dog Re-Treat teaming up with the amazing Naseby Holiday Park to make it all happen.
What a great success the weekend was. We want to thank those who came along and supported the event, participated and learnt lots.
We had an incredible lineup with 3 trainers. Each with their own strengths and specialities for participants to learn from.
Hands on/paws in sessions like group obedience/loose leash training workshop, agility, scent tracking and sled dog skills. Dogs were able to have a go at something different with some people learning their dogs natural abilities.
Then while pooches rested between their activities, we humans gathered to learn in seminars skills and understanding our dogs better to learn to be better pet parents. Socialisation and how your dogs brain works, reactivity, nutrition, clicker training and free shaping (also a little paws in for this fun after learning) and finishing off the weekend with some vital info for every pet parent, pet first aid essentials.
All this set in the amazing Naseby where we ventured to take walks in the beautiful naseby forest in our little bit of downtime and enjoyed a great group evening on the Saturday at the Maniototo Adventure Park curling and having supper.
A huge thank you to our presenters for taking the time to share their knowledge and skills. Crystal from Fur Kids, Flip of Remarkable Dog Training, Fin, and of course myself, Stef at Dog-on Adventures / Dog-On Life.
Thank you to Beth from the Naseby holiday park who made this all happen by asking me a simple question and sharing her idea many moons ago while I was there to enjoy a weekend camping. Turns out I had already had the very similar idea so together we could bring it all together.
Thanks Topflite Hound for their support and providing some tasty treat sample for the doggies to enjoy.
Our delicious morning teas and afternoon teas were provided by the fantastic Black Forest Cafe ...Thank you!!

And lastly the ever talented Brya Ingram Photography for being our photographer, capturing some awesome photoshoots for those who wanted and following us all around over the weekend to capture stunning images of everyone having fun. Please enjoy seeing a small selection of her snaps from the weekend.

To celebrate the successful weekend we are offering 10% off all Dog-On Life shop items. Make sure to head over and have a look. www.dogonlife.co.nz use code retreat10.

Walkin' the Bark Thursday packs

Another suns out tongues out day today!!

Our morning pack enjoying a splash and refresh to start their day today, taking a nice stroll up around the hill, stopping in the cool shade of the rocks to catch our breath and chill before heading back to splash again before getting in the car. Happy dogs all round!!

Cruizy being very lucky to get a few spots of surprise rain on her walk around today. We were both loving the refresh.

Finishing the day with Finn who has really let down his guard with me and being so comfortable with the other dogs. So cool to see him really wanting to play with me today and engage and not bother about everything else around him.

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY***
Today we also had the joy of celebrating Miss Lucy's birthday out with the pack. She loved it and had the best time as always. 🎂 🎈

Walkin' the Bark Wednesday packs

Another scorcher day... It was sun out tongues out all day.

Our morning pack enjoying their run and stopping in for a midway river splash to revitalize and make the trip back to finish with a splash in the pond before the car.

Lots of fun for our afternoon kids, making their way through the obstacles of last week's weather to find the river. Having the best time!

Finishing our afternoon with Tevie enjoying a stroll with her friends.

Walkin' the Bark Tuesday packs

Far too warm today for everyone. We enjoyed a good stomp up the hill with the morning crew and I was very jealous of them splashing about in the lake at the bottom to cool off.

Cruizy had her day of crazies and cuddles. She sure has such big emotions!!

Our afternoon kids enjoying a good stroll round at the airport. Through rabbit alley and making sure to take all opportunities to keep cool.

MadVenture Monday and our golden oldies plus a little Tevie time

Hello summer, what a cracker day we had.
Lots of fun for the morning crew starting with a big sniff mission before doing their exploring rounds and then playing with the toys. Some extra cuddles and a little defloofing for some too.

Our golden oldies had a great walk through all the beautiful flowering thyme and a splash to cool off after.

Tevie enjoying being able to get out and about again having a nice stroll and swim down the river.
