The van has had a little spruce up. Stephen has done a fantastic job at turning my idea into a reality. I really wanted to incorporate my own dogs amongst the design especially Cody (My Springer) as although he is no longer with us he is the main reason we started this journey. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but after seeing the proof design to then seeing the final design on the van I couldn’t be happier! 🧡🐾

Thank you again, Highly recommend ASH Signs-Print-Graphics

🐶💕 Building Trust: Helping Nervous Dogs Flourish at Daxie Den! 🐾🌟

Is your precious pup a bit on the shy side when it comes to trusting new people? 🐕
We're here to share some insights on how our furry friends at Daxie Den are finding their confidence and forming beautiful bonds of trust. 💖

1. **Patience is Key:** 🕰️ Every dog has their unique journey towards building trust. At Daxie Den, we believe in giving our nervous fur babies the time they need to feel comfortable and secure around new faces. Slow and steady wins the trust race!🐢

2. **Gentle Approach:** ✋🏼We practice a gentle and non-intrusive approach when interacting with nervous dogs. We let them set the pace, allowing them to approach us when they're ready. This respectful approach helps create a safe space for them to open up.🌸

3. **Treats and Positive Reinforcement:** 🍖🌟 Treats are magical! We use tasty treats and positive reinforcement to create positive associations with interactions. Over time, this helps nervous dogs associate humans with delicious rewards and good feelings.

4. **Quiet and Calm Environment:** 🌿 Creating a calm and stress-free environment is essential. At Daxie Den, we ensure that interactions take place in a quiet space where nervous dogs can feel at ease without overwhelming stimuli. We will always ensure we take into account the needs of each dog before booking in. We only book in other guests should we feel the dogs match! 🌭🐾

5. **Buddy System:** 👫 Sometimes, nervous dogs find confidence in the company of other dogs who trust people. We often introduce nervous pups to our more outgoing doggie friends, and their example can be truly inspiring! Ruby and Saffi are well seasoned to being a new dog’s buddy 👯

6. **Respect Personal Space:** 🐶 Just like humans, dogs appreciate having their personal space respected. We give nervous dogs the space they need to approach us on their terms, fostering an environment of mutual respect.✋

7. **Small Steps to Big Wins:** 🐾 Every small step counts. We celebrate the little victories along the way, whether it's a hesitant tail wag or a brief nose nuzzle. These moments of connection are priceless and pave the way for stronger bonds.

8.**Communication:** 🗣️We will always be open and honest with all pup parents. Should we feel your dog needs extra support we will recommend dog trainers suitable. Should your dog not be suited to Daxie Den, we can recommend alternative accommodation. 😇

Remember, that each dog's journey is unique 🦋.
We will always try our very best to accommodate. However it is worth noting that working with nervous dogs can be a long process and the hard work must start at home in order to prepare them for their holidays 🏡

A little bit of a different post but after losing Cody our Springer in October last year I’ve found it super hard to part with any of his things, His bed is still right where he left it but I finally plucked up the courage to part with two of his jumpers temporarily and I’m truly blown away with the outcome.

I can’t thank Treena at Raggedy Pals Memory Bears enough for our bear! I absolutely love it, now we can cuddle him again! 🐻🧡

🐶 Let’s talk puppies! 🐶

One of our most frequently asked questions is “How old does my pup have to be to join your pack”.

We cater to pups from as young as 8 weeks old, Once fully vaccinated we introduce them to the pack and they get to experience a variety of different sights and sounds. Early socialisation is key to creating a well rounded, well balanced dog.

People often think socialisation is;
•Meeting people
•Playing with every dog they encounter
•Going to dog parks
•Going to dog friendly pubs

When In reality socialisation is so much more it’s;
•Exposure different sounds & smells
•Exposure to different sights & objects
•Experiencing various different surfaces
•Meeting dogs
•Meeting people
•Maintaining focus around all types of animals
•Maintaining focus around unfamiliar people

Many of our pack members came to us as little nippers and have grown into confident, well behaved, well balanced members of society. Our clients are now reaping the rewards and benefits of the early socialisation and training we provide!

This year has definitely been one to remember! It’s bitter sweet for my family as we head into the new year without our main man Cody but his memory will forever be carried and kept alive doing what we do best… Take a look back at what our Adventure Pup Pack got up to 🥰❤️

‼️Please Read‼️

There are so many gps trackers on the market and some are fairly pricey which can be off putting however yesterday our PawFit2 tracker helped us to quickly locate Roscoe, one of my own personal dogs who had run off from a friend of mine who he was out with.

We got there within 10 mins of getting the call and in that time he’d travelled 3 miles including crossing a dual carriageway. He’s been extremely lucky and managed to walk away from his ordeal with just a sprained leg and some bruising but it could’ve been a lot worse which doesn’t even bare thinking about.

I can’t stress enough how glad I am that he was wearing his tracker as we wouldn’t have found him so quickly otherwise and would have never have thought he’d have gone from Nettlesworth through Plawsworth and end up near Chester moor but it’s live tracking and accuracy led us straight to him.

If anyone is thinking about purchasing a tracker I highly recommend the Pawfit, you can get 2 month subscription for free using our code: FLWUC6

Who Are We?

Adventure Pups was founded in 2018 by Kirsty Gunn who has extensive experience and knowledge within the animal industry. Here at Adventure Pups we like to break the mould of your typical dog walks we don’t go on walks, we go on adventures!

We want your dog to get more out of life so our adventures are tailored to ensure they work all their senses stimulating both their body and mind. We are fully insured and all of our pack leaders hold a valid and up to date DBS check (formally a CRB) so you can be assured your pet is in safe hands.

Adventure Pups has a strict ratio of 1 pack leader to every 4 dogs to ensure each dog can be properly supervised. Despite our attention to detail and the level of care on our adventures we’re determined to make Dog Walking more affordable for everyone, you can see a full list of our prices in the Services section
