Four dogs, not fourteen.
A lot of group walkers do not publish a cap. Ours is 4 dogs, so Elodie can actually watch how each dog is doing, not just keep a headcount.
Maximum 4 dogs per group
Group dog walks Christchurch, from $49.
A 2-hour group adventure for compatible dogs, matched by size, temperament and energy and capped at 4, so every dog is genuinely looked after, not just counted.

What every group walk gets
Group walks work when the group is right. We keep ours small and matched, not first-come-first-served. Group walks are part of Kuri's wider dog walking service for North and East Christchurch.
- Maximum 4 dogs, matched by size, temperament and energy
- Door-to-door pick-up and drop-off within 5km
- Outings to suitable parks and beaches
- Photo updates during the walk
- A quick health check
- Optional bath and dry on return (+$25)
Matched, not just mixed.
Two dogs can both be friendly and still be a poor match. We group by size, temperament and energy before they meet, so a boisterous dog is not paired with one that needs a calmer day.
Three years on the lead.
Elodie has three years of dog walking experience in New Zealand and France, and is trained in dog education and agility.

Where do group walks happen?
Group walks are planned around the dogs, the weather and the rules for each place, not just the nearest patch of grass. North and East Christchurch has plenty of good ground for it, from Bottle Lake Forest Park and The Groynes to Bexley Reserve, Horseshoe Lake and Rawhiti Reserve.
Elodie chooses the route to suit the dogs in the group on the day and follows the rules for that spot, so it is not the same park every time. We confirm your address first, because pick-up and drop-off are included within 5km of Kuri, with a $5 fee beyond that.

"Our dogs are always happy and excited when they know the car is near Kuri, they go in wagging and come out at the end of the day wagging."
Google review"My wee Coco loves her days at Kuri. She always has a waggy tail when she goes in and doesn't even look back. That's high praise!"

Good for these dogs
Sociable dogs who are comfortable with other dogs and happy to share the walker's attention. Still building confidence or lead manners? A solo dog walk or a bit of training first might suit better.

FAQ
Group dog walk FAQs
Short answers before you book your dog's first group walk with Kuri City. Kuri also runs small dog daycare and makes raw dog food, delivered South Island wide.
How much does a group walk cost?
$49 for a 2-hour walk.
Is group walking right for my dog?
Group walking suits sociable dogs who are comfortable with other dogs and happy to share the walker's attention. We match dogs by size, temperament and energy first, so if your dog is still building confidence or lead manners, we may suggest a solo walk or training to start. That is not a rejection, it is how the group stays fair to every dog.
How many dogs are in a group?
A maximum of 4, matched by size and temperament.
What is the difference between group and solo walks?
Group walks are for compatible, sociable dogs who enjoy company on a 2-hour adventure. A solo dog walk is better for puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, or dogs who need their own space and a steadier pace.
