What is Run Club?
Adventure, not just a walk. Run Club is South Dublin’s dog adventure service, offering extended, off-leash outings where active dogs run free and build confidence. Think 🏖️ beaches, 🌲 trails, and 🐾 parks — not just pavement. We keep packs small (max 5 dogs), balancing safety, training, and joyful freedom.🚶 Up to 5 dogs per pack — safe, well-matched groups
🐕 Off-leash exploration in secure, dog-friendly spaces
🤝 Confidence-building socialisation with structure and support
💨 Proper exercise that leaves dogs happy, calm, and tiredRun Club isn’t just walking — it’s adventure, coaching, and community for your best friend.
The Problem We Solve
Modern life is busy, and active dogs need more than a quick spin around the block. Without enough adventure, they often end up:⚡ Restless and over-energised at home
🪑 Bored or frustrated, leading to a list of problem behaviors
🐕 Under-socialised, missing chances to build confidence
😟 Leaving owners feeling guilty or overwhelmed✨ Run Club changes that. Our multi-hour, nature-based pack adventures give dogs freedom, fitness, and fulfilment. You get a content, confident pup — and peace of mind.
About Run Club
Hi, I’m George, founder of Run Club.After years behind a desk, I realised I wanted something different — a career outdoors, active, and meaningful, connected to something I love: dogs. I started Run Club to give South Dublin’s energetic pups real adventures, not just routine walks.I’m fully insured, professionally trained, and dedicated to delivering safe, enriching experiences where dogs can be dogs. Every outing is carefully planned for structure, freedom, and connection. My goal is simple: bring your best friend home tired, happy, and fulfilled — and give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’re thriving.

FAQ
🦺 Are your handlers trained and insured?Yes. All Run Club handlers are fully insured, uniformed, and trained to manage dogs safely in group settings. We pride ourselves on professionalism and consistency — so you’ll always know exactly who’s walking your dog and that they’re in capable hands.🐕 How many dogs are in a pack?We keep groups small and balanced — up to 5 dogs per walk. This ensures safety, structure, and plenty of attention for every dog.🦴 What do the walks include?Each Run Club adventure gets dogs out of the house for approximately 4 hours with at least 2 hours of active time. We take small packs into safe, dog-friendly environments — mostly beaches and forest trails — where dogs can run, play, and explore freely. Along the way, they build confidence through socialisation, burn energy, and enjoy the mental stimulation that only varied adventures in nature can provide.🚗 Do you collect and drop off my dog?Yes. We’ll collect your dog from your home and return them happy, calm, and tired after their walk.⏰ When does the adventure begin?We run two daily adventures, Monday to Friday:Morning: Pick up is 9/9:30 am and dogs are back by 1 pm.
Afternoon: Pick up is between 1/1:30 pm and dogs are back by 5pm.🐾 Does my dog need training before joining?Not at all. We help reinforce good habits on every walk. Dogs should be comfortable around other dogs, but we’ll chat with you about your dog’s needs before their first outing.🐶 Can puppies join?Yes — puppies are welcome. However, since RunClub.Dog is designed for active dogs, we review each pup on a case-by-case basis.📍 Where do you walk?We’re based in South Dublin and take our packs to a variety of safe, stimulating locations, including:
🏖️ Beaches for wide-open runs and splashing in the water
🌳 Forest trails for adventure
🐾 Dog-friendly parks for socialisation and structured playWe always choose environments that match the pack’s energy level, keep things safe, and give your dog the variety they crave.🌧️ Do you operate in the rain?Yes — absolutely. We walk in all weather, rain or shine. Irish dogs are well used to a bit of drizzle, and a wet walk is still a good walk. The only exceptions are extreme weather conditions that could compromise safety.📅 Do you offer recurring bookings?Yes — most of our clients book regular slots (e.g. 2x per week). This keeps your dog in a consistent pack, which helps with socialisation and routine.
