Are you unable to give your dog enough exercise? Is your dog overly anxious or excited? Does your dog behave destructively, like chew your shoes? Does your schedule stop you from taking your dog out for regular walks, to eliminate and stretch its legs? Then you need our help! We can come to your home to walk and exercise your dog following a schedule that fits your needs - and those of your dog.

This service is perfect for clients who prefer to or must give their dog individual attention with one-on-one walks and play time. It is also ideal to help teach pups that are over six months old to learn basic walking-on-a-leash training.

This service is ideal for clients with dogs that thrive on having a connection and interaction with other dogs. It helps dogs learn to socialize with other dogs. Give your dog the gift of a “sibling” a few times a week without having to actually care for another dog in your home!

Ideally, group walks work best with 3 dogs, but groups of 2 to 5 also work; dogs should also be from your neighborhood to facilitate organizing the group - we can help you identify other dogs in your neighbourhood for this service although you'll may have more success if you approach neighbours yourself.
