Enrichment & Socialisation
Adventures
Is Your Dog Bored at Home While You Work?
Our Zoomies Adventures are designed to give your dog the ultimate combo of enrichment, socialisation, and basic manners practice while having a tail-wagging good time. Each outing is structured to help your dog come home calmer, more fulfilled and better behaved. Our packs are filled with 2 to 8 carefully matched Zoomers so that every dog gets the space to learn, play safely and receive our full attention. By maintaining a calm, controlled environment, we set the stage for real learning and positive social experiences. Adventures run twice a day, Monday through Thursday, across Cromwell, Clyde, Alexandra, Kingston & Queenstown.
Each session includes:
-
Pick-up and drop-off service
-
Around one hour of mostly off-leash fun
-
Dog-friendly tracks and open spaces to explore

Mr Tank has the best days when out with Lisa. I truly feel she really likes him and takes very good care of him like if he was her own.

Requirements
MEET AND GREET It can be unsettling handing your pup over to a stranger which is why I like to meet clients and their dogs before dogs attend an adventure.
AGE Please disclose if your dog is under 6 months so we can evaluate whether they are ready for adventures.
NEUTERED / SPAYED Please disclose whether your dog is desexed. This is important when forming a pack. Dogs that are not can cause disruption in an environment with other dogs.
BEHAVIOUR Dogs must be well socialised and non aggressive toward dogs and people.
BASIC COMMANDS AND RECALL Dogs must understand basic commands. Most importantly recall. It is very important that dogs are able to follow directions.
VACCINATIONS All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations.
REGISTRATION All dogs must be fully registered with the council.
COLLARS AND TAGS All dogs must wear a collars and tags for adventures.

Practicing Basic Manners
How many dogs walk together on an adventure?
An adventure can take anywhere from 2 - 8 pups depending on the day. Our packs are carefully curated for safety and behavioural reasons.
Do you walk in various weather conditions?
Yes. Rain and cold weather are no problem with the right equipment! If a walk is scheduled, count on it taking place. If for any reason we need to cancel an adventure, you will receive a text message prior to pick up time.
What locations do the adventures take place?
Location is dependent on how many dogs are attending, the location of pick ups and drop offs, the weather and personalities of pups in the pack. Our goal is always to go somewhere that promotes our packs practicing good behaviour and being able to run free safely.
What is used for transport?
Your pup will be transported in one of our Zoomies vans fully equipped with air conditioning, heat, crates, clips and a front seat for those who get van scaries!
What happens in case of an emergency?
Our staff is PET First Aid trained. A first aid kit is kept in the van at all times. If necessary, dogs will be taken to their local nearest vet.
What if one of the dogs on the adventure is deemed reactive and could be dangerous to another dog or the public?
If this happens this dog will not be able to attend any further adventures. Safety of all dogs, handlers and members of the public is priority.
Our Mission
After working with hundreds of dogs across the world, our founder Lisa Telle discovered one thing was always true: Dogs thrive when their training, adventure and nutrition needs are met in a way that feels natural, respectful and fun. Zoomies was born from that belief. Since then Lisa has built a team of empathetic, intuitive trainers who share her commitment to improving the well-being, behaviour and happiness of every dog we meet. Our mission is to help dogs and their humans build a life they genuinely love together: one that strengthens the bond, nurtures trust and honours the unique relationship you share. We’re here to walk alongside you, educate and empower you and celebrate the joy of living in sync with your dog.
