Dog Walking
We walk your dog in a way that's comfortable, relaxing, and fun!
When we provide dog walking visits, we spend the first few minutes of our visit giving our furry friends some extra love and getting ready for the walk.
The first few minutes are spent “sniffing” so they can have some structured down time. After the dog goes potty, we should have time to pick up the pace and get some good exercise in. We will walk as briskly as your dog can comfortably and safely walk.
Got a dog that loves to pull or lunge when going on walks?
WE'RE TRAINED TO HELP
We’ll use distraction techniques to get them to refocus. We use “watch me,” "touch,” “sit," or “let’s go,” or play pattern games. We always have treats and will use them to reward good behavior.
If your dog wants to stop to admire the scenery or sniff around a new spot for a moment, that’s okay. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise.
You may see us talking with the furry friend on our walks. We love to tell them stories and shower them with praise! Everyone loves routine and structure, but we also vary our walking routes to prevent boredom and to provide new exposures.

Using only positive reinforcement and force-free training methods, we will work with your shy dog to slowly introduce them to staff members. There will always be two people walking your dog on these visits. While the process may not be easy; with patience, love, and consistency, your pup can make new human friends! Angela and Laura the only dog walker offering this service so space is extremely limited. Your dog walker is also a dog trainer. We must walk your dog at least once every week in order for this program to be effective. Over time, we may be able to transition your dog to a regular dog walking session with another dog walker.

During our visits, we dive deep, getting hands-on to provide not just walks, but personalized training sessions tailored to your dog's needs. It's all about taking their skills to the next level.
To ensure meaningful progress, we require a minimum of two services per week. If we can incorporate daily sessions even for a short time, that's even better! Whether it's Angela or Laura, we team up with your furry friend for a series of sessions, understanding that every dog is unique and requires a customized approach. Our focus is on laying down solid groundwork, teaching essential skills that enhance their connection with their walker and empower them to navigate the world confidently.
