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 a 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.
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.
