While we are loving these milder temperatures, we just want to remind our clients that with warmer weather comes slush and muck. We’d love to be able to dry and clean your pups off after our adventures together so please remember to leave a towel out for them 💙.

Group walks are a fantastic, structured opportunity for safe dog:dog socialization for many dogs. While we work hard to ensure that the dogs are always paired up with pals they will enjoy an outing with, it’s important, prior to signing up, to consider if it is a service your dog will enjoy.

Your dog will likely enjoy a group walk if…
- they are social with other dogs in a respectful manner
- they are able to maintain focus on you around other dogs
- they do not become over aroused around other dogs
- they don’t mind walking in close quarters with other dogs

Your dog may not be ready for a group walk if…
- they are reactive or over aroused in the presence of other dogs
- they struggle to maintain their focus when other dogs are nearby
- they prefer to have a little bit of extra space from other dogs while walking
- they’re still learning that not every dog they see is a playmate

Some dogs prefer a solo outing, and we respect their preference. Some dogs are still learning to find their “chill” when they see other dogs, and we need to meet them where they’re able to be successful.

All dogs start with 1:1 walks with our team before being considered for a group walk. This ensures that we get to know them and any little quirks they may have before pairing them up with other dogs on our group walk roster. When the team decides the dog is ready to try a group walk, the dog is then paired up with one other laidback, seasoned group walk pup before joining any larger groups (maximum 4 per walker for safety and enjoyment of all involved). This allows the dog to learn the expectations of the group walk service and for our team to watch for any changes in the dogs behaviour and body language (becoming uncomfortable or overexcited), to ensure they are still enjoying themselves just as much as they do on a solo outing with the team.

It is important to us that our furry friends have an enjoyable and enriching experience with us every single time we’re at the end of their leash. All dogs are different, and we are proud that our range of services offer something for every personality! 💙

We are thrilled to offer multiple walking services to supplement your ongoing training and grow with your dog’s skillset. Let our team put in some of the work on your behalf to mentally and physically fulfill your dog while offering them consistency and new challenges in their training 🧠

Training Walks are perfect for dogs working on their loose leash walking and basic obedience skills. We can work with you to improve leash pulling, engagement, staying “off” of things on the ground, politely by-passing dogs and other distractions. These walks are one hour in length (or 1/2 an hour for puppies under six months of age), and take place in your neighbourhood.

Off-Site Training sessions are perfect for dogs that are acing the above skills in their own neighbourhood, and would like to work in dog-friendly stores or other busier environments (city parks, downtown, etc.) to proof these skills, and work on responsiveness and neutrality in less familiar environments with more distractions. These sessions are one hour in length, and our team members will safely transport your dog to the location.

✨BREED HIGHLIGHT: Lagotto Romagnolo✨

Say hello to our pal, Arlo 👋🏼

An ancient breed hailing from the lowlands of Comacchio and marshlands of Ravenna, Italy, this unique breed changed occupations from water retriever to truffle hunter after the marshlands were drained and turned into farmland. Utilizing their natural gift for searching and keen nose, they were very efficient at their new job!

The Lagotto is tractable, undemanding, keen, affectionate and very attached to his owner. Easily trained, he makes an excellent companion and a good watchdog.

At 17-18 inches, and 24-35 lbs, this medium-sized, powerfully built dog requires a fair amount of outdoor exercise to work off excessive energy. The coat has a rather unusual appearance due to the woolly textured, rough-surfaced coat of thick, ring-shaped curls that are distributed evenly all over the body.

In addition to regular grooming with a brush and comb, a complete clipping is recommended annually to avoid curls becoming felted.

Stay tuned to learn more about the unique breeds we spend our time with! 💙

✨BREED HIGHLIGHT: Flat-Coated Retriever✨

Say hi to our sweet friend, Brady 👋🏼

Until WWI this was the most popular breed of show dogs in Britain, as well as a favourite in the field. Development of the Flat-Coated Retriever is credited to the same person who founded The Kennel Club (England), S.E. Shirley.

Known as a good-natured, optimistic, affectionate friend, this bright and active hunting dog is also a determined and resourceful retriever. With a good-humoured outlook on life, the Flat-Coated Retriever can adapt to city or country living so long as they receive plenty of outdoor exercise.

The straight and flat-laying coat is easy to maintain with the occasional bath and frequent brushing. They are a medium sized dog standing 22-24.5 inches at the withers, and weighing 60-70 lbs.

Stay tuned to learn more about the unique breeds we share our time with 💙.

✨BREED HIGHLIGHT: Otterhound✨

Say hello to our friend, Mabel 👋🏼

Used in Britain to swim down the otters that robbed the streams of fish, the Otterhound has been known there since the 13th century. Possessing webbed feet and the ability to swim for hours, they are surely a water dog. The breed became scarce when pollution made otters scarce and they became a protected species in 1978. Determined to keep their breed alive, an association was formed, a standard was drawn up and the Otterhound became a show dog. In North America, they’ve been known to hunt mink, raccoon, mountain lion and bear.

Described as displaying unfailing devotion to their owner, being amiable, boisterous and even-tempered, this active breeds working qualities have always been emphasized. They should be lean and well-muscled, and provided with plenty of outdoor exercise.

The Otterhound is a large dog with strong bone, standing at approximately 27 inches at the withers, and weighing around 115lbs (females slightly smaller). Their coat is dense, rough, coarse and crisp, with an important water-resistant undercoat of short, woolly, oily hair. It is important that they can withstand any amount of immersion in water.

Grooming requirements are not extensive as they are shown in a natural state with no sculpting or shaping allowed. A good going over with a slicker brush will suffice.

✨BREED HIGHLIGHT: Bedlington Terrier ✨

Say hello to to our sweet friend, Willow! 👋🏼

Despite their lamb-like appearance, the Bedlington is all terrier. A breed that is alert and possesses immense energy and courage, coal miners in to 1870s developed a terrier-of-all-work that could swim down an otter, draw a badger, dispatch vermin, run down a rabbit, and hold his own in a fight. The Bedlingtons gameness and talents caused it to become the poachers greatest asset at one time. In time, the breed was adopted by the elite and developed into the stylish pet we know today.

The Bedington is capable of galloping great speed, and likes a certain amount of action. He enjoys working, and requires regular exercise.

The thick and linty coat is a distinctive mixture of hard and soft hair that stands out from the skin and shows a tendency to curl. The preferred height is 16.5 inches, slightly less for a female, with a weight proportional to their height, between 17-23 lbs.

Stay tuned to learn more about the unique breeds we spend our time with! 💙
