Frequently Asked Questions

Signing up and committing to our Training, Socialisation & exercise program is a timely training process and takes preparation and commitment. I ask for regular days for your dog to become relaxed and part of their pack. Belonging and being focused on their trainer creates a dog making great choices to be a happy dog. Happy dog equals happy family. This commitment is for 4 months plus.

  • Pickups start at 7am, Arrive at HQ 9am, Adventure/walking/training, Dogs in Vans at 12.15pm, Drop offs start at 12.30pm & finish around 2.30pm (Wet day-we pack up 30 minutes earlier)

  • We walk and train on private land in NorthWest Auckland.

  • We do have a structured route, unfortunately we drive in Auckland peak traffic, road works, accidents, occasionally we add to/drop dogs from our pickup schedule. We do not give set times only approximate as it is out of our control.

  • A big no, please hand over your dog at the door and ignore. This is the best handover to stop conflict and separation anxiety.

  • We have four Dog Vans professional kitted out. First few sessions they are crated until they show they can manage themselves in mainstream. Little dogs are crated.

  • I will notify Cancellations via Doggone Attitude Pack FB group & email by 7am. Cancellations are taken place due to putting our Humans and dogs at risk due to road blocks from Heavy Weather storms or States of Emergences. You will not be charged for this cancellation day, it will be carried forward.

    DGA is open rain or shine, we have the barn for shelter for rainy days and the tall trees for shade during summer. Refunds are not given if you cancel due to personal preferences.
