Longer dog walks in Swansea: why high energy dogs thrive with adventure walks and brain training

If you live in Swansea and share your home with a high energy dog, you will know the challenge: a quick lap around the block rarely cuts it. Many dogs need more than a toilet break and a sniff. They need proper movement, variety, and mental stimulation to feel settled at home.

At Pip’s Adventure Walks, the focus is on longer walks designed for dogs who love to explore and burn off energy, with brain training built into the routine.

Why longer walks matter for high energy dogs

Longer walks give active dogs the chance to move at a natural pace, explore different environments, and enjoy varied scents and terrain. That combination can help reduce restlessness, reduce frustration behaviours, and support a calmer routine at home.

A standard long walk is around two hours in the morning, which works brilliantly for dogs that need a solid outlet early in the day.

Mental exercise counts too: brain training on walks

Physical exercise is only half the story. Dogs also benefit from using their brains. That is why Pip’s Adventure Walks includes trick training, challenging games, and brain training activities to keep dogs engaged, not just tired.

Mental enrichment is especially helpful for working breeds and smart, energetic dogs who can get bored easily.

Safety first: small group sizes and secure transport

Trust matters when someone else is caring for your dog. Walks are kept to a maximum of six dogs, and typically fewer, so every dog gets attention and appropriate supervision.

Each outing includes collection and return in a secure, professionally fitted van with individual dog crates, helping dogs travel safely and comfortably. Muddy paws are not a problem either, your dog is cleaned off before heading home.

Updates you will actually want to see

It is always reassuring to know your dog is having a great time. Pip’s Adventure Walks shares photos and videos from adventures, so you can see your dog thriving while you get on with your day.

Flexible options for Swansea dog owners

While longer morning walks are a speciality, there are flexible options depending on your dog’s needs, including shorter walks and one hour afternoon walks, with longer afternoon sessions available by arrangement.

There are also drop in visits available for dogs and other pets, which can be ideal for puppies, senior pets, or households that need a quick check in during the day.

Going away: home from home boarding

If you need holiday cover, home boarding is available, offering a calm, caring alternative that feels more like a home environment than kennels.

Qualified and experienced care

Pip’s Adventure Walks is run by a qualified pet first aider, with multiple breed specific qualifications and experience across a wide range of breeds and temperaments.
