Paws Outdoors is a structured dog day programme based at 20 Moon Ridge Road in Moonshine Valley, Upper Hutt. Dogs are collected by van in individual crates and taken to the base, where the day starts in a securely fenced paddock with simple group exercises. Groups then go on pack walks, mostly on private rural land and sometimes in busier places. Dogs begin each walk on lead, and off-lead time is earned through reliable behaviour. Each day includes a structured rest time on beds. Training is built into every session, with an indoor area also available. Before joining a group, each dog has a free meet and greet at the property, followed by a paid 1:1 prep walk of about 50 minutes. The prep walk checks leash skills, focus, reaction to distractions and other dogs, confidence, impulse control and recovery.
