The best place to find reviews from our clients is on our Facebook Review Page

We continuously turn down advertising with Yelp and each time more and more of our 5 star reviews get hidden on their page so now we only have 7 reviews out of 32 showing. Yelp is a pay to play website so we do not take part in it since the ratings aren’t real.

Pick Up & Drop Off Included Within Our Service Area

All Pick Up and Drop Off Services Have a Minimum of 3 Days/Week

Outing Time is Door to Door as per Dog Walking Standard

Bringing a new dog walker into your life is not just about finding someone to drag your dog around the block or up and down a million elevators. It’s about finding someone who can create a solid routine that involves group socialization, skill building/good behavior reinforcement and who allows your dog to really stretch their legs and run as a part of a pack. Like humans, dogs are social creatures and require off leash, energetic socializing time in order to be well rounded and happy. As the saying goes; a tired dog is a happy dog!We have been providing high energy, off leash dog walking services downtown Toronto since 2008. We have a consistent pack of dogs who walk a minimum of 3 days/week for 2 very important reasons. Our dogs know each other very well and they know their routine. We are not introducing new dogs to another all the time, or multiple new dogs at once. This way we can maintain a much higher level of control over our pack’s behaviour and we can take away the unpredictability factor that is so prevalent at public dog parks. Furthermore, our pick and drop off schedule stays very consistent this way. When we start a new dog we integrate them onto our set driving route and we stick to it every day so that you and your dog can come to expect us in a much narrower window of time than most driving dog walking services.

How Does It Work?

We pick your dog up from your home and bring them to our Private Acre Forest Dog Run for some real high energy off leash play. This land is privately leased and is not open to the public. It’s a completely natural forest that has been fully fenced in; complete with unloading and loading zones so everything is done behind closed gates. It’s a great big space, full of trees, with a totally natural woodchipped substrate. We keep our private land clean and free of garbage, food and poop. We have an onsite water station, as well as fun doggy climbers for the dogs to play on and under 🙂 We do not use any personal toys/balls – only communal ones to avoid possession issues and we do not carry/use treats to control our pack on our outings.

***The Toronto Portlands are undergoing a great change and we were given temporary land during this time. We are extremely fortunate to be able to use our 12k Indoor/Outdoor space during this transitional time, which allows us to provide a spacious and comfortable play space for our dogs during those severe weather days. You won’t catch us cancelling because it’s too cold or too snowy! We are going the extra mile to maintain the private standard for our dog pack and are very excited to announce the location of our new permanent private land and will update as we solidify the details with the City of Toronto!***

All the dogs that come into our dog run have gone through our Meet & Greet Assessment process and meet our 3 service requirements:

They are Well Socialized, Non Aggressive and Fully Vaccinated.

We only take our dogs to our Private Acre Forest Dog Run, located near Cherry Beach. There are many things we love about our private land but the top five reasons are:

• • We Know Every Dog There

    
    The only dogs that are permitted in our space have undergone our assessment process and have been deemed as being “Pack Safe”, which means they meet our 3 requirements for service: They are Well Socialized, Non Aggressive and Fully Vaccinated.

• • We Know Every Person There

    
    We’ve all had bad experiences at a public parks with dog owners/dog walkers who aren’t paying attention to their dogs. At our park our pack leaders are on site to supervise, manage and mediate play. Since it is always the same pack leader picking up your dog they come to know them very well and know how the dogs in the pack are going to react to one another and what their likes/dislikes are!

• • Dogs Can Move at Their Own Pace

    
    We’ve got dogs of all ages and energy levels with us. They can choose to run around through the forest, follow us around if they prefer human play, hang out in the shade under the trees, sun bathe in the tree clearings, play with toys or not, play in groups or one on one – whatever suits their play style, ability and energy level.

• • It’s a More Natural Environment

    
    We love the trees and they provide us with a more natural setting, which always ends up being a great help to us. In the winter they provide an excellent wind barrier and in the summer the shade is absolutely invaluable.

• • Dog Toys, Supplies & Cleanliness

    
    We have everything we need on hand at the dog run; fresh water, dog toys, poo bags, first aid kit, etc. We take pride in the cleanliness of our park and make sure that we are always on the look out for stray poops. We also have fresh wood chips delivered on a regular basis.

We transport our dog pack in our one of a kind, top of the line dog shuttles. These are the largest, safest vehicles on the road. They are fully customized through Mercedes Benz and Industrial HVAC Professionals.

These vehicles do not exist anywhere else on the road – they are a Soulmutts creation! Some of the most important features of our one of a kind dog shuttles include:

• REINFORCED METAL RIBBED INTERNAL WALLS FOR TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
• SEALED FIBERGLASS INTERIOR TO ALLOW FOR PROPER TOP TO BOTTOM SANITATION
• SEPARATE SECURE RIDING AREAS FOR SMALL / LARGE DOGS
• PROFESSIONAL GRADE HVAC SYSTEMS & TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• GPS DRONE LOCATION TRACKING & MOBILE CONTROL
• REMOTE STARTER & ENGINE IMMOBILIZER WITH MOBILE CONTROL
• THERMOSTAT TEMPERATURE CONTROL (FRONT TO BACK)
• CUSTOM DAYLIGHT LED LIGHTING FOR THE DOGS WHILE RIDING

Welcome to the coolest dog daycare & dog boarding space in toronto!

The entire property is fully fenced and completely secure but the dogs would never know it with the amount of land they have to run free on. There is ample flat grounds for ball chasing & top speed running, rocks and hills to climb, forest to chase each other through and a fantastic waterline to take a well needed dip on a hot day. Jumping off the end of the dock and getting the dogs to jump in after us is one our favorite things to do up there!

The dogs have indoor sleeping accommodations right in the center of the property. Some of its features include:

• VACCINATION

All dogs must be fully vaccinated to participate in group activities. Mandatory vaccinations in Ontario include: Rabies, DHPP Boosters (Rounds 1, 2, & 3). Though it is not mandatory, we always recommend the Bordetella vaccine (kennel cough)
any time you’re bringing your dog off leash with other dogs (eg. city dog parks).

• SPAYING & NEUTERING

All adult dogs must be fixed. We fully support and encourage the spaying & neutering of dogs and cats. Puppies that are still too young to be spayed/neutered are exempt from this rule.

• TEMPERAMENT AND BEHAVIOUR

All dogs must be well socialized and free from any aggressive/uncontrollable/unpredictable behavior. We absolutely believe that each and every dog can be trained and/or rehabilitated, however these skills require proper training and the pack environment is not suitable for such exercises. The safety of our pack mates always comes first!

At Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. we provide flexible services for you and your dog.  We are a close knit pack and strive to maintain our pack balance by slowly introducing new dogs and keeping them on a consistent schedule.  We are a high energy off leash group environment. On our outings and at our Decked Out Dog Daycare/Boarding House we practice free run socialization. We let the dogs be dogs!

We’ve been around for almost 10 years now and have watched Toronto’s dog walking,
dog daycare and dog boarding business really take off. Though we’re often imitated (sometimes even word for word) we’re never duplicated! We’re always working to offer one of a kind services to you and your dog that you won’t find anywhere else!

When I (Ally) first started dog walking I used to visit public parks two or three times a day with my pack.  Over time, there were a couple of different issues that I found were becoming a problem.  First of all, most dog walkers are out at the same time so there could be up to 60 dogs in one not-so-big dog park at once. Secondly, not all of those dogs were well behaved/socialized/fixed or being properly supervised by their walker.  I found myself spending more time dealing with other people’s dogs than with my own pack.

All that changed when two other long time trusted Toronto dog walking companies approached me with the idea of finding a huge private space that we could make our own.  Now we share our Private Acre Forest Dog Run; the largest private outdoor space available to dogs in Toronto.  It is fully fenced in for safety and also has a van-sized triple gate system so there is no dragging 6+ dogs across the street from the truck to the park area on leashes like at the public parks. We drive right in, close the gate behind us and let our dogs straight into the park.

We have our park wood chipped on a regular basis and a water station for those super hot days of summer.  There is a jungle gym that the smaller dogs like to crawl all over and TONS of room for the big guys to really stretch their legs and get all of that energy out!

We know every dog that comes into the park because we know every walker that comes in the park; they’re a part of our crew.  We trust each other and know that we would never bring an unsafe, aggressive or unvaccinated dog into the park.  We are also very vigilant about picking up ALL THE POOP that we see 100% of the time.  There is NO garbage in our park and we have lined our fences with burlap/tarps to make sure none blows in from the street.

We’ve got fantastic tree shade from the rain and the boiling sun, and wind protection from our trees/fences, which provides us with shelter all year round.  You really don’t feel like you’re still in the city when we are playing in our park.  I know for the dogs it feels like a day out in the country.  They know when we are getting near and we can see all their heads start poking up, ears alert, tails start wagging and tongues start flapping about, the barking starts… IT’S PARTY TIME!!!

In our private forest there are multiple pack leaders present at one time, we load and unload within fenced barriers (not leashing our dogs and then running them into the park), we have met and assessed every dog there and they are all on regular schedules so they know one another and know/respond to our pack leaders. This is the only way that we are able to control WHO your dog is coming in contact with and WHAT KIND OF DOGS your dog is playing with. There is simply no way to do either in a public space. Our dogs are supervised 100% of the time.
