Group walks are the perfect opportunity for your pup to make new dog friends! All groups are carefully matched for all members' comfort and enjoyment. No more then 5 dogs are walked at once.
​
Walks are structured and focused on the dogs interactions, promoting good behaviour and always keeping dogs mentally engaged with loose leash/ behaviour training or basic obedience check ins. I strive to build listening skills and a close bond with every pack member. Your regular walking routine and rules will be followed as close as possible, using my own treats or ones provided if your pup has any allergies. Whether your goal for these walks is socializing, tiring your dog out, simply a bathroom break or something more unique, let me know and I will personalize the experience for those needs. Each walk is GPS tracked, will include a water break, a wipe down if needed and be followed up with a picture and report on the fun had. I can also give medications (not injectables) or feed at the end of a walk.

Not all dogs are able to or desire to walk with other dogs. I am experienced in walking dog aggressive dogs and other kinds of reactive/anxious dogs as well as pups that need sling support, have bandages/casts or who are immobile but want to be trollied out for fresh air.
In the case of reactive dogs, I am happy to integrate positive reinforcement and behaviour modification training to help them become more comfortable with their triggers.

Puppy visits can be life saving for a hard working dog parent and even an essential tool for a puppy's training, socialization, and over all growth.
​
Each visit is personalized for your specific situation with a water/feeding, clean up, play and a bathroom break, integrating basic obedience and loose leash skills along the way. Your personal rules and cue words will be stuck to as closely as possible.
​
Puppy Visits are great stepping stone to joining group walks in the future. Dog Friends will work together with puppy parents to met personal goals and small achievements will always be celebrated!

Boarding dogs spend their time in my wonderful one bedroom apartment that many dog friends have loved and returned to again and again. I live between two great dog parks (Wychwood Barns and Cedarvale) as well as a lovely ravine and calm residential streets. All dogs will have to be friendly and respectful with my cat, Turkey and my dog Max. I board up to 2 dogs at a time and have had visitors that have ranged from a day to a month.
​
For my boarding services you can expect 3 to 4 quality walks a day and lots of attention. You can look forward to daily updates and picture check ins. Dogs can be allowed to free roam, be up on the couch/bed, go off leash at a dog park or be crated when left alone as according to their usual rules and I stick to their usual schedule as much as possible.
​
For energetic/social dogs, their days could be spent joining compatible pack walks while mature/ lower energy dogs can spend their day napping with their new friend Turkey.
​
The lines I draw are barking issues, history of destructiveness, prey drive towards my cat and resource guarding.
