Just a wee hui on the beach with the pack 🐶 🐾

27/08/2024

We've been a bit quiet on here lately because we've been so busy adventuring! You wouldn't think it's the middle of winter with all of the amazing sunshine we've been chasing with our four-legged pals! 🐶

Here are some action shots from our recent adventures 🐾

19/07/2024

👋🏽 Meet Snowy 🤍 & Loddy 🤎

This sibling pair of lovely labs have recently joined the Needs a Walk pack and are living life to the fullest with their new pals! We've been working on getting them both to be more comfortable and confident being out and about by having them come on adventures on their own as well as together.

This chocolate and cream duo have so much joy to bring to the party and we're stoked that they're able to be a part of the crew!

Can't wait to see you both on our next adventure 🐾

14/07/2024

Happy Sunday everyone! 🤩

Just a heads up that our much loved dog-mobile got sick on Friday 😢 and has to see the mechanics tomorrow (wish us luck!) so we may be in touch with you about reorganising your doggo’s adventure this week!

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, we’re hoping our trusty mechanic can sort out the issue this week so we can be back up and adventuring as soon as possible! 🤞🏽

Wishing you all a great week ahead 🐶 🐾

Meet Miss Roxy 👋

This chick rolls in every week with 110% energy to zoomie and we love it!

She's a cheeky personality who keeps the boys on their toe-pads with her pace and desire to play 🐶

Roxy had an unfortunate experience with another dog a few months ago which knocked her confidence a little, so we have been consistently working with her on feeling safe and calm around her doggy pals and she has come such a long way, very quickly!

Keep it up Miss R because we love seeing you frolic and play as all dogs should! 🐾

Excited for our next adventure! 💖

14/06/2024

Meet Mr. Alfie 👋🏽

This guy is a literal bundle of ears, tongue and tail - such a frantic cutie!

Alfie is a part of our Big Hearts Pack and despite how much smaller he looks in comparison to the rest of his pals, he is a BIG part of the crew! As you'll see, he often leads the pack in zoomies, starts the wandering adventures and has energy that goes on and on and on.

We have been working on managing Alfie's excitement levels and he has been making crazy good progress with his recall & (now) lack of jumping! 🐾

You are a joy, Mr. Alfie, and we love having you as part of our pack!

See you on our next adventure! 🐶 🖤

28/05/2024

There are few things better than seeing dogs being dogs at the beach - what a joy! ☀️ 🐾 🧡

23/05/2024

Meet Jack & Barney 👋🏽

This sibling pair are the cutest little bundles of energy who bring a whole lot of personality to our Little Legs pack! 🐾

Jack is a cheeky, playful dude who is working on his recall, especially when his prey drive kicks in and Barney is working on that as well as being more confident within himself around other dogs and people!

We are loving getting to know these two terrific terriers and enjoy all of the moments we get to share alongside them. 💜

09/05/2024

Meet Jock 👋🏽

This beautiful black & white boy stole our hearts with his huge smile and sweet attitude!

We've been working on his recall and he has been absolutely nailing it. A popular guy with all the dog pals, he's made a bunch of friends and become a staple in our big hearts pack! ♥

We've loved hanging with you Mr. J! Onto the next adventure we go! 🐾

05/05/2024

What a fantastic time we shared with all those who managed to pop by the Waikouaiti Markets to see us (and the other amazing vendors) today!

Thanks for all of your support and we’re excited to get to know more of you and your doggos!

See you next time hopefully! 😍

02/05/2024

The countdown is ON! 🎉 🥳

We'll be at the launch of the Waikouaiti markets THIS Sunday 5th May from 9:30am - 1:30pm!

Come and say hi! We're super excited to see you there and to chat all things dogs with you!

See you soon! 🐾

26/04/2024

We are SUPER excited to be at the Waikouaiti Markets next Sunday 5th May between 9:30am-1:30pm! 😍 Chuck it into your calendars because we'd love to see you there! 🐾

We'll be ready to chat all things dogs, book in training consultations & doggy adventures, along with some merch for you and your pups to check out! 🐶

17/04/2024

Meet Lemmy (in lemon) and Ozzy (in orange)! 🍋 🍊

Named after rock legends, this pawsome pair are a real dynamic duo! They are littermates who we are fortunate enough to have as part of our little legs pack! 🐾

These two love to chase rabbits, run through bushes and walk/run shoulder to shoulder wherever we go. A true pair!

We love hanging out with you two and seeing those big old panting grins each and every week! 💛 🧡

04/04/2024

Meet Beau 👋🏽

This handsome orange streak has been on the books for a long time and we've loved getting to know him. Being a young, entire Vizsla the focus has been on teaching him an off switch and how to make friends. 🐾

He's come a long way and we've built a real connection. We look forward to much more time out on the trails exploring with him! 🧡

03/04/2024

We love to see our high energy boys and girls getting their zoomies on! 🐾 💨 ☀️

22/03/2024

We work with dogs of all sizes, big and small, but this pack is for little legs only 🐾 🐕

These boys & girls cover a whole lot of ground with those wee legs of theirs!
Some of them are working on their confidence, some of them are working on their manners, but all of them are having a great time together! 😍

15/03/2024

Meet Mr Rudy! 👋🏽

Rudy boy unfortunately was attacked by another dog when he was a puppy and so can take a bit to warm up to others.

We are excited to have started this journey with Rudy and his amazing companion to empower him to be a bit braver around things. We're building up his confidence so that he can get out and about with his boop held high! 🐾

Happy to report, that he's already progressing ahead of schedule and well on his way to being more carefree and as happy as he deserves to be.

Here's to building confident, happy, worry-free bois & girls! 💜

06/03/2024

Cracker day in Otago today for our midweek mission with these boys and girls! ☀️

Our aim is to always send them home tuckered out and ready for a big old nap 💤

Choice! 🐾

03/03/2024

We're lucky to have this beautiful landscape to explore on our adventures here in East Otago! ☀️

Rain, hail or shine, we're up for a sniff & wander with our canine pals. These three were a joy to adventure with 🐾

29/02/2024

We love practising both on and off-leash during our pack adventures because it allows us to work on some doggy etiquette & behaviours which can be helpful for when they get home.

Adventure time doesn't have to be less fun with structure. Dogs love when they have boundaries set for them and they don't have to worry anything other than being a dog! 🐶 And we always make sure to walk high sensory & engaging routes so that they're tuckered out by the end.

For our on-leash sessions we usually have an off-leash runabout for the end which these guys throughly earned and enjoyed.

So if you see us out and about around the neighbourhood, don't be afraid to say hi! 🐾

22/02/2024

Meet Taika 👋🏽
He's a high energy boi so this will be the slowest you'll ever see him move! We're working with Taika on his confidence when being handled by someone other than his owner and also on his off-switch.
We're having a fantastic time getting to know each other! 🐾

20/02/2024

Meet Beau. He's an excitable, fun-loving guy who we're working on a few things with. One of these things is his recall and as you can see here, he's nailing it! Keep it up Beau, you've got this! 👋🏽 🐾 🐶

14/02/2024

How many fetches do you think this high energy boy ran?
Here's a hint: lots and lots and lots and... 🐶 🏐 👅

13/02/2024

It's been so rewarding working on this missy's bravery.
Lady is getting more and more confident with every adventure. She's gone from occasional solo adventures in order to get more comfortable being away from her owner, to being a big part of our small dogs pack adventures where she sniffs and explores her surroundings with her head held high. Go Lady! 💕 🐶

12/02/2024

Howdy our lovely community! 👋🏽
We are loving getting to know our community dogs - what a great bunch of canine pals we have here! 🐶

We have an exciting new project to share with you all...
FREE HELP FRIDAYS!

We know that a barrier to seeking advice for issues with your furry friend can sometimes be for financial reasons and sometimes these are the doggos that need it most so...

Each Friday, we would love to offer one deserving pet's family a free training consultation to target any specific problems they may be having with their dog/s. If you know someone who you really think could use a helping hand, please tag them below or get them to get in touch with us to see what we can arrange!

For regularly scheduled programming, message us through our FB page: Needs a Walk or visit our website at www.needsawalk.co.nz if you think your pup/s could do with a structured adventure or need a place to stay while you head away! 🐾
