HUCKLEBERRY ADVENTURE DAYS
ADVENTURE DOGGY DAYCARE EDINBURGH
I'm Candice
Our Story
After a 16 year career with the UK Police, and time in the fast paced corporate world, I was ready for a new challenge. Having worked with dogs for several years, I set my sights on creating a unique offering - something that would solve a challenge I'd faced myself, and that I knew others were experiencing: the difficulty of juggling the demands of busy lives, with providing the best possible life for an energetic dog.
​
I created the service I wish had existed for my own dog; a daft, high energy Golden Retriever called Huckleberry. His drive and need for stimulation was endless. He wasn't getting the fulfilment he needed from a one-hour group walk, and he was over-stimulated but under enriched at traditional doggy daycare.
Having spent several years providing an extra pair of hands for friends who already ran a successful dog-walking business locally, I understood there was a need for long-form daily adventures that would cover core hours for paw-rents and provide true enrichment for their pups. ​
Our Adventure Dog Walking & Doggy Daycare solution was born!
I've thoughtfully curated this service, around all the elements that make for happy dogs and even happier humans. It has been tailored specifically toward active, social dogs, with adventures to harness their natural drives.

POSITIVE SOCIALISATION Bonding carefully selected groups, of similar temperament, to provide safe, thrilling experiences and outstanding care for your dog. They will see the same friends each week and we will never take on an unfamiliar dog to fill a spot. Like humans, dogs have unique personalities. They are free to join in and play, or assert their independence and do their own thing on our adventures. We love hearing our clients tell us how their dog is blossoming in confidence as become part of our pack.
UNPARALLELED CUSTOMER SERVICE Our 5 star reviews speak for themselves. We know that communication is key and consider every relationship a partnership with our clients. As well as a warm cadence and a genuine passion for dogs, we utilise tech to give our clients greater health and tracking insights into their dog's activity. Clients tell us that receiving our daily show-reel is the highlight of their work day! Share these with family and friends so they can track the fun too!
UNMATCHED EXERCISE Satisfy your dog's physical, mental and emotional needs. Each adventure lasts around 6 hours total. We use all of our senses to explore. Our GPS trackers show that our dogs average 10-12 miles every single day. When needs are met you'll find that your dog is more content, better behaved and more relaxed after an epic day of fulfillment.
UNCOMPROMISING STANDARDS The small things matter too. Due diligence and risk mitigation is an important part of what we do. We have the highest levels of cover across our vehicle, business and public liability insurance, as well as comprehensive key cover for client homes. We wouldn't want our own dogs to travel in a dirty bus so yours shouldn't either. Our bus is valeted every week and our towels and crate matting are professionally laundered.
TRUE ENRICHMENT Active dogs need more stimulation than a static daycare or secure field can offer. They need bigger scents to follow and larger spaces to stretch their legs. We explore magical locations every day, full of great smells and everything required to satisfy their innate drives. One day we're fairy hunting in the forest, the next we're swimming in a loch or racing each other up a mountain. Most days we do all of these things! Our pack has a blast every day and will be tuckered out when they get home.
DATA INSIGHTS You'll see GPS tracked routes, health and exercise insights from your dog, from our trackers, as well as status high quality media each day. You can access our catalogue of vidoes and photos any time.
