A tired dog
is a good dog.
Ninety real minutes of off-lead running, beach and bush — not a lap around the block. Yours comes home worn out, not wound up.

You leave at 7:30. You're back at 6.
That's a long stretch alone with a full tank of energy. It comes out somehow — the skirting board, the barking at every passer-by, the 10pm zoomies, the pulling on the lead like you're not even there.
None of that is a bad dog. It's an under-exercised one. A dog that's genuinely tired — not just walked, tired — settles. Sleeps through the evening. Stops chewing. Stops barking at the postie. Walks next to you instead of towing you down the footpath.
That's the whole point of what I do.
- Chewed furniture, shoes, skirting boards
- Barking at every dog, bike and courier van
- Zoomies that start right at dinner time
- Pulling so hard the walk isn't a walk
- Restless at 6am, wide awake again at 10pm
Not a lap around the block
Every walk is built the same honest way — real off-lead time, somewhere your dog can actually run, not just a footpath loop timed to the minute.
- Off-lead running, where it's safe to
- 40 min
- Sniffing, exploring, being a dog
- 20 min
- Beach or bush, weather and tides allowing
- 20 min
- Settle, water & a calm walk back to the car
- 10 min
No fillers. No rushed laps. Contains: fresh air, salt water, mud (seasonal).
Four dogs, max. Matched, not mixed.
Every walk is capped at four, grouped by size and pace so a boisterous pup isn't thrown in with a nervous senior. Your dog learns to read other dogs properly — because it's practising, not just enduring the school run.
Fig found a dead fish and was VERY proud of it. Zonked out by 6.
You get a photo and a note. Every walk.
No app, no dashboard, no tracking dot to refresh. Just a text, same as you'd get from a mate looking after your dog — a photo from the walk and a line about how they got on.
Tore up the ball. Made a new friend. Slept the whole way home in the car. Whatever actually happened, that's what you get told.
Three ways to book. Pick a dose.
Group walk is the default for most dogs. Solo suits reactive dogs, seniors, or the anxious. Puppy visits are for the ones too young for the beach run yet.

Every walk, every time — not a rotating roster of contractors pulled from an app. Fully insured and canine first-aid trained, based in Pt Chevalier, out on the tracks and beaches of the inner west most days of the week.
Your dog gets a person who knows them, not a stranger who got the job through a notification.
