About Us
Walking, Training, Socialisation.
At The Dog Squad, we believe dogs thrive when they have purpose, structure, and safe social opportunities. Our Pack School blends adventure walks, socialisation, exercise, and training into a balanced, fulfilling day.
Dogs join groups – structured, managed, and guided by professionals trained in behaviour and communication. Your dog becomes part of a familiar, consistent pack, supported by handlers who truly understand what dogs need to feel safe and confident.
Whether you’re working, busy with life, or simply want the best for your dog, we make sure they get the exercise, training and socialisation they need.

Dogs are incredibly social animals and love being a part of a pack, and with a good relationship with their handler, they can thrive in this environment. As the handler/leader, we ensure every dog has what it needs and feels safe and secure in our care.
