Wellington, NZ

NOT
dog walkers.
Adventure
Leaders.

For the rebels who don't belong in sterile doggy daycare or with massive packs.

We cater for the dogs who need to boop, sniff (and pee) in the world around them. Dogs who need connection and enrichment, not just exercise.

You'll know exactly where they went, what they did, and who they were with. We think that's the minimum.

01

Sniffaris & Enrichment

We do sniffaris, lolly scrambles, and off-lead exploring in Wellington's best terrain. Your dog leads with their nose. We follow. That's the whole point.

02

You'll Know Everything

SMS at pick-up. SMS at drop-off. A personalised report and photos after every Full Send. You'll know exactly where they went, what they did, and who they were with.

03

Fear-Free Only

Positive reinforcement. No punishment. No prong collars, no shock tactics. If it wouldn't work on a kid, it doesn't work on your dog.

Bentley
Chief Adventure Officer

It started with one dog.

Bentley didn't belong in big groups. He needed real terrain, a small pack, and someone who paid attention. There wasn't a service like that in Wellington. So we built one.

Every dog that joins The Woof Collective is that dog to someone. That's who we're here for.

"My human is obsessed with other dogs."

— Bentley

The Process

How it works

01

Book the Boop

Join the waitlist. We'll reach out within 48 hours to schedule your meet and greet at your home. 45 minutes. Bring the quirks.

02

The Sniff Test

We assess your dog's personality, triggers, and recall. Honest conversation about what pack dynamic will work. Not every dog suits every pack, and that's fine.

03

Trial Trot

If we're a match, your dog comes on a trial adventure. Solo or a carefully selected mini-pack. If tails are wagging, we're in business.

04

Adventure Locked

Regular schedule set. SMS updates at pick-up and drop-off. Personalised reports with Full Send adventures. Your dog is in the pack.

Own your neighbourhood.

The Woof Collective is a student-led franchise. You own the adventures in your suburb. You set your schedule around university. You earn well above minimum wage building something that's actually yours.

We're looking for reliable Victoria University students with a car, a genuine love for dogs, and the drive to build something of their own.

Alex
Brooklyn Territory · Year 1, VUW

Alex started leading Wednesday adventures in his first year at Victoria University. He owns the Brooklyn territory. His clients know him by name. Their dogs lose their minds when they hear his car.

"I built something. In first year. That's pretty hard to beat."
