Train & Play Dog Adventures in Dorset
Jurassic Tails Adventure Train & Play Days are structured half-day adventures designed to give dogs the exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation many dogs are missing in modern pet life.
Run by a qualified dog trainer, these sessions combine exploration, enrichment and training to help dogs burn energy in healthy ways while building confidence, focus, resilience and real-world skills.
• explore new environments
• sniff, search and use their incredible noses
• work things out through problem-solving games
• build confidence in new situations
• practise useful real-world behaviours
• satisfy their natural instincts with social time with other dogs
Each adventure lasts a minimum of 3.5 hours door-to-door, giving dogs time to properly explore, train, play and learn, not just rush around for a quick leg stretch.
Dogs return home happy, satisfied and ready for a well-earned nap.
Convenient Pick-Up & Drop-Off
Your dog will be collected from your home or workplace in Poole, Dorset between 8.45-9.30
No need for you to travel or rearrange your day, I take care of the adventure from start to finish.
Safe & Comfortable Travel
Once everyone is collected, we head off to one of Dorset’s incredible adventure locations.
This might include:
• forests
• beaches
• lakes
• rivers
• countryside
• woodland trails
• or occasionally dog-friendly play spaces
Dogs travel in one of my dog vehicles, featuring:
• climate control
• safe, secure transport
Adventure Time
Once we arrive, the real adventure begins.
Sessions usually include 2 hours of exploring, training, play and enrichment, depending on the group’s energy levels and the environment.
I keep groups small (2-5 dogs) so every dog gets the space, attention and calm environment they need to enjoy the adventure.
As a qualified dog trainer, I also naturally weave in training opportunities such as:
• recall practice
• impulse control games
• confidence building
• focus around distractions
All done in a relaxed, real-world environment.

Lead & Off-Lead Adventures
Dogs are walked off-lead when they’ve settled into the group and environment.
If a dog’s recall isn’t quite there yet, I’ll work towards off-lead freedom over the first couple of adventures as their confidence and responsiveness improve.
For added peace of mind, every dog wears a GPS tracker provided by me during adventures.
Safety and reliability always come first.
Mid-Adventure Refuelling
About halfway through the adventure we take a short break for a drink and snack.
Depending on the dog this may include:
• natural chews
• chopped fruit, vegetables, fresh meat or cheese
• a little Greek yoghurt
• fresh water
Fuel for the rest of the adventure!
Wagging Tail Touchdown
After the adventure walk, tired dogs are towelled off, muddy paws rinsed and everyone settles back into their space for the journey home.
Most dogs are ready for a nap before we’ve even left the car park.
Homeward Bound
Your dog will be dropped back at your home or workplace where I’ll make sure they are settled in comfortably.
If needed I can:
• top up water bowls
• feed meals
• close doors or gates
Your dog will return happy, fulfilled and ready to rest after their big adventure.
