 About Us 

We offer an individualized, high quality & thoughtful experience for each family and their dog(s).

We are an intentional & professional team of humans - you won't be guessing who is picking your dog up or what time.
We treat our clients like family.
It won't take us weeks to get back to an email.
We aren't just 'testing out' training theories on your dog, hoping one might work.
We consistently work on our own growth, evolution and development so we can offer the best energy to your dogs.
We are readily available to our intimate group of clients for training questions and support. We value quality over quantity.
Our customer service is among the best and because we have an intimate team, we can assure you'll be taken care of the way you deserve. 
Aside from being passionate about your dogs, we are also industry leaders, focusing on raising the standard of safety, fulfillment and quality for professional dog walkers.

What makes us different? Why should you use our walks and training?

The two main reasons you should sign your dog up for our walks and training are because we provide clarity and consistency.

CLARITY - We have over 20+ years of combined knowledge and experience. We have worked with some of the world's best walkers and trainers to provide the most thorough and well researched services for your beloved dogs. We are experts in behavior, nutrition and holistic living with your best friend. You can trust we will provide individualized care specifically catered to your dog's needs. No two dogs are the same. We take the time during our assessment to get to know your dog for who they truly are, ensuring your dog will not only have the best time in our care, but also be safe. After we get to know your dog, we can provide you with the tools and information to empower you to have the relationship you've always dreamed of. No two training programs are the same. We respect and honor your dog's unique existence and are passionate to deepen your understanding of your dog.

CONSISTENCY - We take the time on EVERY walk to make sure we are practicing loose leash walking skills, healthy social behaviors, and high levels of sensitivity. Your dog's walk starts the moment we enter your home. We thoughtfully leash up your dog once they are calm, setting the tone for the rest of our time together. We immediately start providing them with information so they know what is expected of them. They will ride quietly in our car, peacefully resting with their pack mates until the walk begins. We unload your dog with precision, walk them meditatively, and move throughout our service with intention. We take the time every time. When we train you, we will give you simple protocols to follow that create predictable patterns of behavior for your dogs. We will teach you to fairly and honestly communicate to your dog with mindfulness and thoughtfulness. We'll teach you how to harness your own energy as a superpower, too.
