Dog Walking & Drop In Care

Everything we do is focused on behavioral wellness; our dog walking, drop-in care, and pet sitting services are no exception. We believe that walks should be more than just boring on-leash marches. We incorporate training techniques such as loose leash walking, sit, leave it, and more into our walks, ensuring that your dog gets the most out of their exercise by engaging both their body and mind

Our walkers and trainers are committed to continuing education. They attend seminars and conferences, take classes from other trainers, and enroll in courses to keep their skills aligned with the latest scientific findings. Unlike a simple neighborhood walk with a local teen, our professional walks address problem behaviors such as pulling on the leash, basic manners, and some forms of reactivity. By utilizing the principles of positive reinforcement, our walks benefit your dog mentally, physically, and behaviorally. Trust us to provide a well-rounded walking experience that enhances your dog's overall well-being.
