FAQs

What is the benefit?

At Hound Hikes we realise that as much as you love your dog, sometimes life gets busy and you may not be able to afford as much time with your dog as they need. That’s where we come in. Our dog walking service provides the opportunity for your dog to receive much needed exercise in a fun and engaging environment. This can help reduce boredom, stress and anxiety, thus also potentially reducing negative behaviours such as excessive barking, digging, chewing, ect.

What if I have more than one dog that needs exercising?

In most cases that is totally fine! As long as it is safe to walk them together, (this can be discussed on an individual basis). See our About section for pricing info on more than one dog.

Do you provide both on leash and off leash services?

The option to allow your dog to enjoy some off leash time completely depends on the whether there is safe area that would allow this in your vicinity. Also whether you feel comfortable with allowing this. Treats to aid recall will be taken for off leash time.

Where will you walk my dog/dogs?

Your dog will be walked from your house in the surrounding area, making sure to optimise use of dog parks, ovals, trails ect that may be in your local area.

It would be great if my dog could be fed once dropped back home, is this a service you offer?

Yes! Definitely, at a small additional fee that can be discussed upon request.
