Some new friends were made today!
How do we do it, you may ask 🤔

We take into consideration many factors, and we also have two walkers on the ground for every new intro! 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️

This allows for gentle parallel walks, interacting slowly, and creating space as needed. We find this method sets our dogs (and walkers) up for success 🙌🏼

Welcoming Tassi, Rhys & Maya to the fold! What a privilege to call this our J-O-B 🩷🥰
Also, I was pretty stoked about this blue van too, Max 😍

Can dogs be in a throuple? 🤔 Because if so... Sally, Klaus & Albion are it 🐕🐩🐕

We LOVE our Low Key small groups. 4 dogs max, no exceptions! This allows for plenty of shenanigans, leash-walking practice, and the formation of throuples apparently 😂

Batten down the hatches!! There's a storm a brewin' 🌧🌬🌪🥶 Sadie senses something afoot 👀

Reminder that our Extreme Weather Protocols determine the safety of our Low Key walks for dogs and walkers. If necessary, we will reduce all walks to Private30 (to avoid transporting dogs), or cancel service altogether if deemed unsafe.
Stay cozy everyone 🩷

Rescue pups... we love 'em! 🩷🙌🏼
Oftentimes, these special guys 'n gals need extra time and space to earn their trust.

Our team has learned that establishing simple management strategies will ensure a safe and stress-free experience.

👉🏼 baby gate at the door
👉🏼 jar of special treats at the door
👉🏼 scheduling several private walks first (if groups are the goal) to establish trust and consistent routine
👉🏼 guardian walks alongside for the first few walks
👉🏼 work with one of our training partners!!!

What's key here is ⭐️ baby steps ⭐️
Let the dog communicate their comfort levels.
Introduce some confidence-building parkour and sniffy games.
Take - Your - Time - With - The - Harness
And before you know it, they'll be jumping into your arms and bum wiggling like a buffoon on arrival! 🥹🐾

Ft some of our Low Key rescues... from up island, Humane Society, Mexico, California, Greece, South Korea 🩷

Sticks, sticks, glorious STICKSSSS 🪵🐾 Just another day in the office! 🥰

Two Dogs, Same Household 🐕🐕
We've got a bunch of these on the go right now!

Did you know 🤔 if pick-up address is the same, and we're able to safely walk them together, any additional dogs are 50% off? Yippee!! More dogs means more... poops 💩 And of course more fun! 😄

**This includes private and group walks (at our discretion), and now includes separate suites at the same address**

Swipe 👉🏼 to see who's crashing the polar bear party at the end!

And just like that, another week is in the books for our all-star ⭐️ dogs and dog walkers! 💪🏼💪🏽

Did you know that our team averages about 150 services per week? 😲 That's a heck of a lot of dog walks!! 🐕 🏃‍♀️🐕🏃‍♂️

Live your passion, they say, and you'll never "work" a day in your life.
Values-based business is where it's at.
Thank goodness I never pressed submit on that application for Canada Post! 😂😉

Direct quote from Rudy's walk report this morning:

"I nearly died laughing today! Maggie and Opal were in fine form and literally took governance over the entire beach. An abundance of tomfoolery occurred and the two made quite the spectacle of themselves. They interacted with a plethora of pups, attempted to assist the coast guard in the removal of an abandoned boat and of course…body slammed kelp. These two really brought light to my life today!
I mean look at those grins!"

🐕❤️🐕❤️

Our pups sure are lucky to have such great walkers in their life. After seeing the American news... this just had to be shared. Spreading the JOY 💥

Does your pup want in on the fun? Send us a contact form, we'd love to connect!

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

Carlos 🤍
Zoey 🧡
Lucifer 🖤

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! 💯

This weekend is for the DOGS 🐕 🐾

🐕💪🏼 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.

📢 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! 🥰
