At Adventure Playhound, I offer a range of personalised services designed to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-trained. Whether your dog needs regular exercise, socialisation or specific training, I’ve got you covered. Each service is tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs, and I pride myself on delivering professional care that builds confidence, calmness and good behaviour.
Give your dog the opportunity to explore, exercise and socialise with other dogs in a safe, structured environment. My dog walks are more than just a quick stroll – I focus on enriching activities, whistle training, and group dynamics. Your dog will learn how to work as part of a pack, developing important social skills along the way.
Looking for more than a regular daycare? My daycare adventures offer your dog an exciting day full of outdoor activities and socialisation. Instead of being confined to an indoor space, your dog will enjoy the freedom of a day in nature, experiencing different environments, all while staying under my watchful eye.
Does your dog need a little extra help with behaviour or confidence? I offer one-on-one training sessions to tackle specific issues such as leash pulling, recall, or social anxiety. My approach is positive and consistent, using methods that focus on calmness and reinforcement to help your dog feel secure while learning new skills.
I run this business with a personal touch, ensuring that every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and excited for their next adventure. With over 5 years of professional experience, plus canine first aid training, I take pride in providing a service that’s not just reliable, but also enriching and transformative for your dog’s well-being.
Whether you need regular dog walking, an all-day adventure for your pet, or targeted training, I am here to help your dog live their best life!
If you’re interested in any of the services I offer, or want to learn more about how I can tailor my care to your dog, feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to chat about your dog’s needs and create a plan that works for you.
Where do I start? Lorraine came out to see us back in January to assess Ricci Roo’s behaviour as he was being a bit questionable on walks. He is a 2 year old rescue German Shepherd and didn’t really have a puppyhood as such so has no manners (not ideal for a dog his size ). Since then Ricci Roo has changed so much!! Everyone who sees him comments on how much better behaved he is. Don’t get me wrong he still doesn’t have many manners with certain things but that is down to giving him more time than what he’s had. Lorraine has helped not only our boy but also helped me grow as a shepherd owner, she’s taught me so much to help with Ricci’s behaviour and consistency is absolutely key. I don’t really think Lorraine knows how important she is to us and we aren’t even the ones spending time together
Very recently we acquired another 2 year old GSD due to her needing to be rehomed. We met with Lorraine and Mousey Moo to see how she was with Ricci Roo and also to see how she took to us and she was like duck to water with Ricci and absolutely loved us as well. So we now have the two beautiful GSD’s who both go to Adventure Playhound and if it hadn’t of been for Lorraine we wouldn’t have Mouse and we also wouldn’t have a much better behaved Ricci Roo. Honestly can’t recommend you enough Lorraine you are like Dr Dolittle (Dolots as I call you). Can’t thank you enough for 1 making Ricci Roo a better lad and 2 bringing the bundle of joy and happiness Mouse into not only our lives but Ricci’s life too! He needed her and we need her too Thank you so so much

My dog Blue has been going out with Lorraine and the guys for a few months now and she absolutely loves every second of it.. now gets up in the morning and sits and waits at the window for them to turn up.. Blue is a husky/lab cross so needs a lot of exercise and interaction with other dogs… which she is definitely getting I could not recommend using these guy enough

Zelda was a bit fearful when first going with Lorraine. she had just lost her best friend Benjamin and was grieving. being a big GSD it can give the wrong impression. After a few weeks she loves it. she has made friends, which is what i wanted. I can tell that Lorraine puts her heart and soul into this, not just a job but a passion.

It must be Wednesday, how he knows I haven’t a clue. Bodhi 1 yr old Border Terrier has his head stuck out of the cat flap waiting for Lorraine to pick him up. He loves his morning with Adventure Playhound, recommend them very highly .

I've been meaning to write this for a little while now!! Our GSD loves going to daycare once a week while we both go to work. She is having loads of fun, learning and socialising in the pack. She is really excited to go and just sleeps when she comes back Lorraine and Barrie are amazing and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Thank you for your great service

Our Labrador Sandy stayed over for a long weekend while we were away. Lorraine kept me up to date with messages and photos to reassure me Sandy was ok as it was her first time staying away from home which was really appreciated . She had a fab time and was very well looked after. I would highly recommend adventure playground and will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much for taking amazing care of Sandy! Xx
