The Black Dog Cookie House

Dog Walking service in North and West Vancouver We only take social dogs, that enjoy being in forested trails with other dogs.

The Black Dog Cookie House offers group walks that are one hour in length, and are conducted on many different trails across the North Shore. Our purpose is to offer fun and safe walks for dogs of all sizes and age, so that they can come home exercised, with a big smile on their face.

Happy 6th birthday, Nutmeg (Nutty)! We’re so happy that we get to continue being in your family’s life (25 years now)! You’re loved by not just us, but you’re a favourite with many of the group dogs! Here’s to many more! XO

Happy 15th birthday to our Chance!! We love him so very much, and are so happy and grateful that we still get to share our lives with him, and that he’s still happy and enjoying life! And he still gets to see all of your dogs every day - they all adore him, and even though he doesn’t get to join us on group walks anymore, he still loves seeing all of this friends daily. Tonight he will have his 38th birthday cake (adding up all the ones he shared with his siblings as well). What an incredible dog. How did we get so lucky? So much love. ❤️

Happy anniversary, Sunshine Betty! It was on this day 3 years ago that you came on your trial walk. You couldn’t wait for months to join your big brother Buster - and finally you got to come along! It’s only been fun and joy since then for both you and us - doggie friends and people! Love you lots!

09/18/2024

Happy anniversary Bowie! It was 1 year ago today that we first met! It seems like you’ve been part of our BDCH family for much longer than that, that’s how much of a big role you play! So many friends that love you and love to play with you. And of course - we love you too! XO

Adoption Day! This was 2 years ago today, when we brought home our little Idefix. We couldn’t be happier to have this little love in our lives. He came at a time when we had lost our Perry and Violet shortly one after another. He brought so much sunshine back into our lives, and gave our Chance a new bounce again after much sadness. We’re full of gratitude and love. ❤️

09/13/2024

Happy anniversary Hazelnut! It was on this day 3 years ago that you got to join your first group walk with us! You had been watching your sister Kamali going out with us, and finally it was your turn as well! Love seeing you daily, and love you lots, sweet girl! ❤️

09/13/2024

Happy anniversary, little Diva! It was today 4 years ago that we first met! Like your previous sisters, Cleo and Diva 1, we love you so much and enjoy you so much on our daily hikes. You have become one of Idefix’s favourite playmates. We look forward to another lifetime in your family! 🥰

Everybody loves the van rides! Our Chance is no longer able to come on our group hikes; but he still gets the ride-alongs to see his friends! I think his smile says it all…Second photo: Pickles loving up his special friend Hunter. Those two play non-stop, in and out of the van!

Happy anniversary, Moose-ey! It was 6 years ago on this day that we first met (when you amazingly escaped the fortress of your yard and we found you)! It has been a wonderful time, so much fun and love we have shared! And we look forward to much more of it! XOXO 🥰

09/03/2024

Happy anniversary, Finnigan! It was 6 years ago today that we first met you. We had already known your little Boston brother Mougley for many years - he sure was a big loss for all of us. But thank goodness we have you! Such a sweet, fun boy - so full of love and joy to spread! Love you lots, big puppy! 🥰

Happy 2nd birthday to the Black Dog Cookie House cats Roo and Tigger (on Aug. 24th)! They keep the dogs on their toes and Idefix especially very happy! 😂 We went from 2 almost all white cats to 2 black cats unintentionally, as these as well came to us as rescues. And they have completely different personalities than Winnie and Hunny did. They sure make life even more interesting, and bring even more love to our household! 🥰

The crazy little dog brigade on 2 separate days! Idefix, Frankie-Stein, Diva, and Nala (with an appearance of Marley and Lily). Note that they’re all wearing red coats on that one day is a total fluke! 😂

For all of you that have a senior dog with a bratty younger sibling, like our Chance and Idefix…and yet the love for each other is there!

Happy, happy 7th birthday to Moose-ie!! (From April 12th). He shares his birthday with his Mom, so we hope that they had a wonderful day together! We love you lots, funny Moose-ini!❤️ (He got that name beause he used to escape his yard a lot - even though it had been reinforced - and that’s how we met him, as he lives across the street from us and came to visit 😂)

Gaggle of Doodles in the forest today!! #blackdogcookiehouse #doodles

Another great snow hike, with more fresh snow! We started with freezing pelting rain as I drove around doing pick-ups; and this is what we got on our hike 10 minutes up the hill, as we walked through a blizzard! We all had so much fun! Here is my group: Idefix, Diva, Marley, Finn, Nutty, and Frankie! We love the North Shore! (Funny enough I noticed this morning that our mini daffodils had just opened, and the peonie buds are peaking through the dirt in our garden!)

Happy 10th birthday, Dixie girl! Her Mom sent us the best picture from today of her with her cake - but Facebook doesn’t allow me to post both a picture and video. So here is the video of the day we first met her at 8 weeks of age (she finally becomes more brave at the end), which must be shared! You’ll just have to go on our Instagram to see the picture as well…Happy birthday Dixie, we love you so much! ❤️

Shhh….it’s somebody’s Birthday!! #blackdogcookiehouse

Dogs of all ages and sizes are welcome in our groups and have fun together! As you can see, this group is a great example of this: Frankie Doodle, Diva, Marley, Sami, Molly, and Finn were having a blast together today! Ages in this group ranged from 3 years to 14 years! Sami (the little black Boston terrier) also only has one eye and is deaf - but as you can see, that doesn’t stop her from having great dog fun! We love that we can share all this love and fun with such a variety of dogs!

We’re heartbroken to share that Rio crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. He was one of our very special ones, and from a special family whose dogs we’ve been walking for about 25 years. Rio was 12 1/2 years old, and we were lucky enough to enjoy him in the groups and love him for 12 of those years. He was having some increasingly intense neurological issues, which would keep him up all night in absolute terror and confusion. These episodes also started to happen during the day for the past week; one minute he would be fine, the next he was a trembling mess. No drugs could help him adequately, and it was not clear whether he was also in pain or not. We were lucky enough to share one last day with him yesterday, He came along in my group and had just the absolute best time, as you can see in the video, especially with our Idefix. This was Rio - an extremely happy, energetic, playful, and loving dog. For his parents to experience him in such distress during his episodes confirmed their belief that it was time. It’s hard to believe that he’s gone. Our hearts are so incredibly sad. I got to hug him and tell him how much I loved him, and he also seemed to want the extra love yesterday. Maybe he knew that it was our last time (none of the rest of us were sure) - and he sure made the most out of it. Love you forever, sweet puppy. 💔

Frenchie in the hammock with me…danger! 😂

Still some water holes.. though the creek isn’t flowing much right now!!! #blackdogcookiehouse #pleasedoaraindance #splishsplashdogsofinstagram

Yesterday’s walk at Millstream still provided some water sources (getting unusually low already for this time of year). Sisters Nala and Mable the Frenchtons (living with different families), Frankie the Frenchie, Diva the mini schnauzer, Rio the Portuguese water dog, and our Idefix thoroughly enjoyed their refresher in this stream!
