Merry Christmas to our extended family, both two legged and four, thank you for an incredible year 🎄

The team just wrapped up a massive four days of learning about dogmanship and socialisation from the incredible .

I’ve been to a few seminars now and this was hands down the best, most educational I’ve ever been to (no shade intended to anyone 😅)
We have some amazing takeaways that I can’t wait to implement with packs, as well as a lot to marinate on (the arousal/welbeing graph has changed my life, not even joking).

As such big name in the industry I wasn’t sure what to expect but Chad is so incredibly humble and genuine. He made such an effort to make it inclusive, I’ve never been to a seminar where so many people got to bring in their dogs! It was incredible watching him work a pack of strange dogs, which would have been no easy feat, while still being so incredibly calm and gentle.

We were also super lucky to get the amazing Nadine , which felt like a two for the price of one deal as we got to pick her brains too.

Fingers crossed the packs are kind to us tomorrow because our brains are absolutely fried from such a big weekend of learning, but man it was worth it. Another big thank you to the ladies who showed up every day by choice, supersized coffees in hand. I’m so incredibly proud to have a team that values learning as much as they do.

Last Monday our Manners Pack headed to visit a friends local business. George Walkers Office Furniture has helped us so much over the years with setting up our various dog spaces, and the best part is they’re dog friendly! It’s also been the venue for The Boxers and Bullies Charitable Trust annual Santa photos! Be sure to check them out!

🎉 Meet Wendy - Celebrating Two Years with Pack Social! 🎉

If you’ve been around Pack Social long enough, you’ve probably seen this amazing face out and about with our furry clients. Wendy is celebrating her second anniversary with us, but her experience with dogs goes way beyond that!

With a solid decade of working with dogs, her journey has taken her from 1-on-1 dog walking and daycare in London back in 2014, to the fast-paced world of rescue work in Hong Kong, and now leading our Pack Social mud fiestas here in NZ. And guess what? She’s still learning every day!

💬 A little about Wendy:
* 🐾 Favorite breed of dog? Mixed all the way (but if it’s purebred, she’s all about the Dalmatians 🖤🤍)
* 🏋️‍♂️ Favorite breed to train? English Staffies or Jack Russells – those spunky personalities are the best!
* ❄️ Least favorite to train? Huskies (sorry, fluffy friends, it’s just not a vibe!)
* 🎮 Likes? The outdoors, sports, dogs (obviously), video games, reading, gym, cheese, and a perfectly placed sarcastic comment.
* 🤦‍♀️ Dislikes? Being cold, wearing long pants (she knows it’s weird), Arsenal fans, and nuts.
* 🎶 Fun facts? She studied music at university, went through an early mid-life crisis and got her motorbike license, and... she has webbed toes! 🦆

We’re so lucky to have her as part of the team! Next time you see Wendy , say hi and maybe ask about her favorite video game or the webbed toes 😉

It’s our wonderful Louise’s 2nd pack-a-versary! So to celebrate we thought we’d do a little (long time coming) introduction post! Here’s what she had to say

My name is Louise, most people call me Lou and your dogs call me Woof.
Today is my 2 year anniversary at Pack Social so we thought it was time I finally introduced myself.

Picture this- July 2022, you’re unhappy in your office job, you quit with nowhere to go but you feel great for it, your best friend has not long bought a dog walking business and she asks you if you’d like to come on a walk and see what it’s all about.
The day is kind of sunny, the farm isn’t very muddy (Future me knows the mud that awaits me) and the dogs make you feel at home. You don’t have any experience but you do have a willingness to learn and an amazing teacher.
You start working there the following week.

Before joining Pack social I had little experience with dogs, I grew up around them and always loved dogs but I didn’t have any practice working with dogs. The passion and knowledge I have gained make me feel like part of me should have known this was where I was headed.
Over the last two years I have learnt so much from my peers, trainers and mostly, your dogs. There have been some huge but very welcome learning curves. They test me mentally and physically but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I spent 10 years in retail and office admin before Pack Social, indoors, warm, dry and clean but now I spend every day being licked without consent, nudged for treats and pats, and splattered with mud and drool. But again, I wouldn’t change it for the world.

When I’m not hanging out with your dogs I can be found hanging out with my husband and our dog Ollie, baking, cake decorating, sewing or starting a new hobby on a whim.
I’m passionate about learning about dog behaviour and energy and anything that can help me be a better dog handler.

That’s the long and short of my story and I can’t thank you enough for trusting me with your dogs.

A very, very playful bunch of homestays this weekend 🙈

Come on an intestinal cleanse with Boof and Xena!

Warning: all stunts are performed by trained professionals. Do not attempt at home.

Part 2 with the Elite Slatmills mill. We found it took a couple of goes for the dogs to get familiar with it but once they did they were begging for more! Kahu even cried from FOMO 😂

Last Monday manners pack got to have a play on the @elite_slatmills mill. Although I don’t think it was built for a 68kg Leonberger it held up well 😂 Safe to say some were more keen than others 😂 stay tuned for part two of the ones who got the hang of it 🙈

Oh to be a dog without a care in the world other than getting a good belly scritch in the long grass

As a dog walker, summer is my favourite season, but it’s not without its challenges ☀️

👩‍🏫COME WITH US ON AN INDUCTION DAY 👩‍🏫

Last week on stories I asked if anyone wanted to see more of how we run our induction/training days, so for those who said yes, this is for you! Now not every new or prospective client needs or gets an induction day, we do these for a variety of reasons, anxiety, reactivity, entire males, or those needing to brush up on their obedience are some of the reasons we do this. Giving an anxious dog or a dog with a behavioural issues the picture prior to them joining the packs helps set them up for success, and often they slot straight in easy peasy 🍋🪗 If you’re keen to get your dog in on an induction day, or if you have any questions, flick us a DM! _______________________ #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #nzdogs #nzpetstagram #dogsofnz #aucklanddogs #dogwalking #packsocialization #doggydaycamp #dogsocialisation #dogtraining #packlife

Woof!

Pack Social was established in January 2015, offering a customizable pick up/drop off exercise service that runs under the active supervision of professional dog trainers. Over the years we’ve grown and developed into something really special combining a massive passion for dogs along with our desire of helping owners fulfill the socialization, training and exercise needs that they sometimes struggle with. The end result is a service we’re really proud of and which our clients can attest to (two and four legged!). We service Titirangi, Green Bay, Glen Eden, Sunnyvale, Te Atatu South, Te Atatu Peninsula, parts of Henderson and parts of surrounding suburbs.

We’re based and operate our adventures on privately owned land located in the Waitakere ranges. Dogs are collected from their homes in our custom doggy shuttle and driven out for their fun filled day. Surrounded by native bush, our farm location is fully mesh dog fenced and boasts an expansive selection of paddocks, forestry and fresh water all for the dogs to run, socialise, swim and explore in for a minimum of 90-120 minutes per adventure. Being private land offers a safer alternative to other dog walking services that operate in public and means our dogs are protected from strange (sometimes unfriendly) other dogs, perfect for those who may not have 100% recall or could accidentally ingest something dangerous. Owners can feel safer knowing risks are minimalized and that their dogs are getting the best care available while having the time of their lives!

Puppies 4 months + are very welcome and benefit greatly from learning how to socialise appropriately with other dogs under our professional guidance and supervision. We don’t allow and bullying or picking on behavior so all dogs and puppies can feel safe and confident, socialising in the correct way with their new friends. Also if your dog is lacking in some areas of their training don’t hesitate to enquire, we may have spaces available in our re-socialising program which many of our existing clients have benefited greatly from.

Adventures are $50 per day for regular weekly clients and include the pick up and drop off to and from your place - you don’t have to be home, we’re happy to collect while you’re at work. Clients and their family are also added to our exclusive VIP Facebook group where they can enjoy seeing daily photos of all the fun.
