Adventure walks


want your pooch to have a fun-filled adventure?

At Happy Hounds, we offer both standard neighbourhood walks and exciting adventure walks to suit every pup’s needs. Our neighbourhood walks are perfect for a reliable stretch of the legs and a toilet break in familiar surroundings—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine and comfort.

For the more adventurous pooches, our adventure walks offer a whole new level of enrichment. These outings involve transporting your dog to a local beach, creek, or park for a stimulating change of scenery, plenty of sniffing (a true “sniffari”), and even a splash in the water—perfect for those hot summer days when your dog needs to cool off.

Whether your dog loves swimming, exploring new trails, or just rolling in the grass, our adventure walks are designed to give them the fun and freedom they crave, all while you enjoy peace of mind.

  • Owners can choose from 45-minute to 2-hour dog walks, tailored to suit their dog’s needs and energy levels.

  • Our adventure walks are kept as local as possible to minimise car travel, allowing more time for exploring nearby parks and beaches your dog will love.

  • Dog leads, waste bags and treats are provided

  • After each walk, you’ll receive photos and an update, along with a GPS-tracked map showing where your dog has been.

  • We’ll also empty and refill your dog’s water bowl, and if needed.

  • Additional feeding, free of charge

Not sure if you’re a regular weekly wagger or non-regular furry freestyler pet parent?

To be classed as a regular pet parent, we require 4 booked services on a monthly basis. A combination of services i.e. 2 x 30 min walks and 2 x 45 min pop-in visits can be booked and still qualify for the discounted rate.


Please note: our weekly wagger rates apply after you have been with Happy Hounds for one month.


A $15.00 surcharge will be added for after hours walks between 6:30pm – 5:00am. There is no additional charge for weekend walks. 
If you are not located in one of our usual service areas, there may be charged a small additional fee.
