Dog Walking
Sure, we’re a better dog walking company, for better dogs. But let’s
start with what dog walking should do for your pet—
Activity
Just like humans, a dog’s mind must be kept active to be healthy
and happy. Regular daytime activity provides mental stimulation.
Along with the emotional benefits,
there are the undeniable physical
benefits. Even aging pets should be kept as agile and fit as possible
—
but they may not be inclined to exercise without encouragement.
Socialization
Dogs are social animals.
They should be encouraged from a young age
to
greet and interact with other dogs and people. If a dog doesn’t have
the opportunity to socialize, it can’t be expected to
interact appropriately.
Prevention of Behavioural Problems
A minimum of two walks daily help
prevent elimination problems,
destructiveness, separation anxiety and
other common behaviour issues.
What services do we provide?
We offer both group and solo dog walks. In either case, your little
friend will be picked-up from your home and returned, happy and quite
possibly exhausted.
How many times will we walk your dog?
You decide. If you’d like your dog walked in a regular group, with the
same dogs each day, the minimum will be three times a week. That’s
with our Frequent Walker program. If you’ll only require walks every
once in a while, that’s fine too. That’d be our On Command program.
Where will your dog be walked?
It depends to a degree on the area you live in, of course. But we like
to
vary the locations to give them the opportunity of exploration and
change.
Dogs can go on leash or off leash depending on your wants
and the
dogs’ recall levels. We’ll take into consideration various factors
such as
traffic, weather, park conditions and which other dogs may be
at a given
place at a certain time.
How long does a group walk last?
A walk lasts approximately an hour. In the few cases a year that the
temperature rises or drops to an unsafe degree, we will truncate
the walks. You’ll find that our rates are comparable to or lower than
many companies that offer much shorter walks.
How long is a solo walk?
As with all of our services, we like to allow our clients to have as
much choice and control as possible. We offer solo walks of half-an-hour
and full hour.
Will your dog be walked with others like him/her?
Yes. We make sure that the personalities within the group are compatible.
Of course this doesn’t mean that dogs are grouped by breed or size.
Temperament and activity are much more important. No aggressive dogs
are taken on group walks.
How do you book?
Before we accept any bookings, we will hold a free pet consultation.
This gives you an opportunity to meet us and us to meet you as well as to
answer any questions you may have.
We’ll go through details such as normal daily exercise, feeding
requirements, health, contacts, phobias, personality and your special
requests. This is the first key to us to providing the highest level of care.
