Extra-mural Activities for your Dogs

Training Walks

These are done from your home in Melkbos and last 45 mins, or from Pet-i-ket and teach your dog not to pull!

Fun Walks

These are either an exploratory walk or a jog on the farm or on the beach and last 30 mins while your dog is at daycare. Also available to boarding dogs during their stay.

Play/Agility Sessions

These are add on 30 minute extras to normal daycare or boarding stays, involving games and agility with just your dog and one of our trained handlers.

Learn Sessions

These are add on 30 minute sessions to normal daycare or boarding stays, involving extra one-on-one lessons in standard obedience training with one of our trainers.

Our private training & extramural activities work on an appointment basis to ensure that every dog receives the correct level of stimulation and allowing our trainers to schedule their time effectively. We have noticed a trend of no-shows and late arrivals without prior notice. This impacts the activities thereafter as well as the trainer’s ability to manage their income. We have therefore implemented a no-show fee to those who do not give us at least 24 hours prior notice. Appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance as well as no shows will be billed at the full rate.
