🐾 Meet Dottie 🐾

Dottie’s story started on the streets of the Bahamas, where she had very little human contact. Before coming to us, she had never worn a collar, never been on a leash, and didn’t know what it meant to be loved. Being touched or pet made her nervous, she just didn’t understand that people could be kind.

But over time, this little potcake has completely transformed. With patience, structure, and a lot of love, Dottie has learned that humans aren’t so scary after all. Now she’s like a little cat, she loves attention, leans into pets, and follows her favorite people everywhere. She’s silly, affectionate, and so proud of herself every time she’s brave enough to try something new.

Dottie has made incredible progress with her training. She’s kennel trained, has e-collar training, and she also works with a prong collar for structure and guidance. She thrives when she has clear communication and consistency, and she’s eager to please when she feels safe and understood.

She’s still learning to navigate the world. New environments, people, and sounds can be intimidating, but with patience and reassurance, she grows a little braver each day. She just needs someone who will go at her pace and be her moral support as she continues to build confidence.

Dottie also has a funny side that keeps everyone laughing. Sometimes she likes to “return to her roots” and stand silently in bushes, observing life. And when there’s food around, she pecks at your hands like she was raised with chickens, we like to think of it as her own special form of enthusiasm.

We’re currently looking for a foster-to-adopt situation for Dottie. Because it takes her some time to warm up to new people, we’re happy to set up a couple of meet and greets to let her get comfortable and show off her personality.

Dottie loves other dogs and could share her home with a friend, but she prefers to meet them slowly and make sure they’re worthy of joining her circle. A proper meet and greet will help her feel safe and sets everyone up for success.

Dottie is an incredibly special girl. Loyal, smart, and full of love once she lets you in. She’s come so far already, and with the right person by her side, we know she’ll continue to shine. ❤️

** Dottie comes to us from South Paw Conservation Nova Scotia, if you have any questions about Dottie, please reach out to us. If you would like to know about the adoption process and are interested in Dottie, please reach out to South Paw directly. [email protected] **

Who We Are

Village Dog Walking starts with a dog named Skittles. I am the proud dog mama of a wonderful 13 year old mutt. When Skittles was 4 I decided it was time she learned to walk on a leash. Having lived in the country all her life Skittles barely knew what a leash was and had zero loose leash skills. It became my mission to walk her and my black lab; who also had no leash manners. Everyday I headed down the road to take the dogs swimming. The 5 minute walk took 20 minutes with a 40 pound mix and an 80 pound lab who were determined to lead the way. My stubbornness prevailed and there began my love for not just owning dogs, but teaching them as well.

Life can be hectic and sometimes that means our dogs simply don’t get the attention they deserve. Also, a tired dog is a good dog, so I’m here to lend a hand. There’s nothing worse than to come home at the end of the day only to discover your dog has chewed up your favorite pair of shoes! Living in Cape Breton sometimes the weather gets us down but most of our four legged friends don’t seem to mind. My dog loves the snow and will even tolerate rain if she sees the leash, so I’ve learned to dress warm. This mean I’ll be walking rain, shine... or snow!

It’s important to understand that dogs require regular exercise to live long, happy and healthy lives. Walking not only gives your dog the physical exercise it needs but also mental stimulation as well. When we first get our new puppies we socialize them as much as we can but we tend to slow down the process as they age. Group walks are a great way to continue that socialization process to make it a lifelong experience. I am here to help your pooch live it’s best life and I look forward to meeting you and your dogs!
