Art of The Pack dog suitability questionnaire
Thanks for your interest in Art of The Pack. This form helps me understand whether your dog may be a fit for small-group adventure pack walks. The goal is not to judge your dog or expect perfection - it is to make sure the environment is right for them, and that I can keep every dog in the pack safe and happy. Because the walks may include off-leash time where safe, I need to understand your dog’s behaviour honestly - especially around recall, other dogs, close proximity, transport, excitement and uncertainty. Please answer as openly as possible - more detail helps me make a better decision and keep everyone safe! Thank you.
Get started
Our pack is currently open for new members for 2026! Once the intake closes, incoming dogs will move to a waitlist to be pre-assessed as spaces become available.
If you have an immediate question about suitability that isn’t covered here, feel free to check out my FAQ page or reach out to me directly.
Please note that spaces are limited to maintain a balanced, fun and safe environment.
Basic prerequisites
To maintain complete safety and synergy out on the trails, I look for a few basics:
- Age & size: Dogs should generally be over one year old and fall into the medium-to-large bracket (roughly Blue Heeler size through to Shepherd size, though solid smaller breeds like Staffies fit in beautifully). Friendly, well-mannered giant breeds are absolutely welcome too!
- Behavior: Your dog should respond consistently to their name, have a manageable foundation for recall, and be polite around other dogs.
- Health: All pack members must be fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and wear their WCC registration tag.
- Gear: For total safety during transport, all dogs must wear a well-fitted harness so they can be securely clipped into my vehicle.
Note: Dogs with severe handler aggression, problematic car behaviours, excessive barking or mobility issues are generally not suited.
Registrations for 2026 are now open.
