Having two German Shorthair Pointers I learned early on that it’s not just a recommendation that high-energy breeds get regular and vigorous exercise, it’s a must. Through my experience I have found that with as little as 60-120 minutes of running a week my entire life with an active dog was enhanced immensely. The saying holds true “A tired dog is a well behaved dog.” Sticking to a steady routin
e is crucial though as your dog will quickly expect their weekly or biweekly run. How the service works:
• I come to your home, run your dog in your neighborhood.
• I wear a Garmin GPS and email you the session you’ll be able to track overall time, distance, elevation, and speed of run as well as see on a map where we went.
• I subscribe to reward based positive reinforcement training. I carry all organic, non-gmo, homemade dog treats that I can customize to your dogs dietary restrictions.
• I bring with me an array of harnesses (as a just in case) but will forward you suggestions of what to order specific to your dog’s size. I myself also wear a harness so I am CONNECTED to your dog AT ALL TIMES.
• Appointments are blocked off by the hour. Sample Session
11am to 11:10; walk to go doggy potty, slightly unstructured allow dog to do dog things (may take less time if so we get right to running)
11:10 to 11:50; Structure run
11:50 to 12:00; water then a cool down walk final eliminations so dog doesn’t go back inside with a full bladder.
• Most dogs take time to build up to 40 minutes, some dogs never get there
• I go at the dogs pace and will mix in walking to meet the dog’s needs
• Dog’s pads will take time to build up to a full session of running
• We Do Not run when the temperature is below 30 or above 85 degrees. For hot summer days, I may move times up so your dog can still get his/her run in before the daytime high. The pricing breakdown
$55, 1 one-hour session per week
$100, 2 one-hour sessions per week
$140, 3 one-hour sessions per week
