The time has come for another roll call of friends! We love welcoming new faces to the fam.

A spooooky trifecta if I ever saw one! 👀🐾

It's interesting how demand tends to ebb and flow, with no real rhyme or reason 🤔
We're always sad when folks pause or end service, but it opens capacity for another, so I suppose it all works out in the end.

We love everyone. And we're here for you! 💯

🐕💪🏼 Doggy Motivators: what turns their crank? what wakes them up in the morning? ⏰️

Food, yes. Treats, of course. But remember, there are sooo many other things that can be motivating for our doggos!

Fetch - sticks, balls, frisbees 🥎
Parkour
Swimming
Butt scratches
Social time
Long leash "sniffaris"
Treat searches
Enjoying a break in the shade
People watching 👀
Water bowls
Shredding (appropriate items)
Tug & Rope toys
Beach combing
Squirrel patrol
Treasure hunts
Wrestling a friend
Squeaky toys
Digging

We love mixing it up, and also using these individual motivators to help manage behaviours on our walks.

What motivates your doggo? 🐕

Without further ado... please put your hands (and paws) together to welcome our newest walker, Tammy! 👏🏼👏🏼🐾🐾

This SuperMama of 2 sailed through her 20hrs of training (rain or shine 🌧☀), keeping stride and asking awesome questions along the way. 💪🏼

Excited to have another all-star heart of gold loving on our Low Key pups 🩷 ...and that makes 9 😉

10/18/2024

Another (albeit, rainy) weekend ahead! 🌧
Let's remember to be kind, walk in gratitude, and not take life too seriously 🐾🧡
Cheers 🍻

Common management cues you'll hear our team using out in the wild... Ft a myriad of cute Low Key faces 🐕🤠

👉🏼 "with me" -- for when we need pup's focused attention or pup to walk close to our body while passing a trigger, often with a leg tap and/or treat in hand 💫

👉🏼 "give space" -- said as someone approaches on the sidewalk or trail to remind our group to move to the side and make space for whatever is oncoming

👉🏼 "crossing" -- as we cross a busy intersection or street, we will pause and cross safely as a group

👉🏼 "touch" -- the world's best engagement builder and recall cue! 💯

👉🏼 "search" -- we love to encourage pups to sniff, and what better way than to sniff out a treasure!
This is also a great tool for redirection as a trigger passes, and/or something to help nervous systems calm down after an exciting encounter. 🧘🏼‍♀️🐾

What management cues do you find most helpful? 🤔

Happy Thanksgiving from the lady behind the screen!! ☺️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️ We appreciate you all.

Long weekends are always a most enjoyable rest. But tomorrow... 40 dogs, 5 dog walkers, and 1 mission!

🐾 "Low Key Dog Walks aligns with the Fear Free mission: to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them." 🩷🐕

📢 Shout out to the nervous, anxious, timid dogs; the boisterous dogs with big feelings; the muzzle wearing rescues; and pups big and small. 🐾

We 👏🏼 Got 👏🏼 You 👏🏼

We will work with your dog(s), meet them where they're at, and encourage them every step of the way. Some big doggy wins lately.🏆🐕

What can we say. We love what we do! 🥰

The First Day of Fall has come and gone. And just like that... we've entered into spooky season 👻

Remember to love on your pups a bit extra these days, as some of those decorations can be extra spoooooky. 👽🕷🕸

Let's give them (and ourselves) grace as we enter into a new season. ✨️ Happy pups = Happy hearts!! ✨️

These dawgs were all smiles in the R-A-I-N 🌧☔️ today! Gotta love those rain jackies 💅 and puppy dog eyes 👀 Imagine swimming fully clothed and holding 1-4 sopping wet leashes 😆

And swipe 👉🏼 to see Loki's face after getting picked up from surgery!
She'll be okay, just bedrest and recovery from losing a toe 🤕🥹

09/24/2024

Welcoming our newest LK friends, Basil & Molly! Both ladies have had previous dog walkers, but were looking for a more intimate, group walk experience. We love customizing service for each of our special pups! ❤️🥰

Cheesin' with the sunnies 🌻🌻 Mira & Sadie are the sweetest cousins around. Happy weekend! ✨️

Do you have a wild, under-2yr old pup on your hands?

Did you know... 🤔 Your pup is considered an adolescent from 6-18 months. And depending on the pup, this can last up to 24 months!! 😳👀

This means...
👉🏼 dramatic hormonal changes
👉🏼 an apparent regression in training
👉🏼 an increase in "stubborn" behaviour
👉🏼 increase in size and strength
👉🏼 desire to explore outside previous comfort zones
👉🏼 increase in hu***ng and p*e marking
👉🏼 secondary chewing phase as adult teeth grow in

We know how tough it can be to keep up the positive experiences.

Sophie (16mo) and friends are here to say that all of this is completely normal! 🥳

Keeping consistent routines and providing lots of mental stimulation, will help you survive these teenage years.

We got this! 💪🏼🐾

Our reliable small group and private walks are helping busy families meet their pups' needs. Since our inception, Low Key Dog Walks has completed over 18,000 services!! 💥😳

And this number just continues to grow.

We're overwhelmed and grateful to all the pups in our care. Thanks for being a part of our LK family! 🐾🐕

We forget how scary the human world can be to dogs. Cars, skateboards, kids, mail carriers, and (sometimes unexpected) other dogs! 🐾

We want your pup to know we've got their back out there. ❤️

Simple things we do to achieve a low-key walk:

1️⃣ Position ourselves between the dog and the scary thing! Our body can act as a great barrier, and provide a feeling of safety and protection.

2️⃣ Make space! Crossing the street or simply calling a u-turn! Don't be afraid to adjust your route.

3️⃣ Reassure! We always try to catch feelings while they're small, and reassure the pup they're A-ok! This can look like pets or snuggles, treat scatters (to support and redirect), and speaking calmly.

Does your pup know you're in their corner? How do you show them? 🤔

Did you catch our recent changes? 🧐 Here at Low Key Dog Walks, we are ALWAYS learning how to be better guardians and professionals in this community. ⚠️We have decided to make the change in our terminology from 'pack' services, to 'group', and from 'solo' to 'private' !⚠️ Now, this may seem like a minor change to some, but we want to ensure we are always putting our best paws forward. 🐾 'Pack' terminology is deeply rooted in 'alpha and hierarchy culture' which requires dogs to be disciplined and corrected because they're dominant. #yikes Here at Low Key Dog Walks, we consider ourselves as part of the group, and pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with dogs and their guardians. 👀 We make every effort to be attentive to dogs in their cues and body language. In return, we ask them to listen. 🤝 We value our relationship with them over their obedience. Ultimately, we don't just walk your dog, we walk ✨with✨ them. (And how lucky we are!)

❗️"Why are we sleeping in? Let's go!" ❗️ Loki is ready to make some new friends this week. In fact, she insists. 😅 This summer at Low Key will be the best yet, largely because, well, it's not just Rachelle walking every single dog all by herself. 🤪 #teameffort ☀️ If you're in a new groove this summer, and need some experienced, passionate, helping hands - don't wait!
