Enriched dog walks exercise your dog’s body and mind…

… giving you a healthier, happier, and calmer dog to come home to

I customize an enriched walking program for every dog

Every dog is different, so I personalize every walk plan, blending the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation, and basic manners reinforcement to help your dog feel and behave her best.

Every enriched dog walking program includes:

Physical exercise
Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and physical condition this could be a long, vigorous walk through the neighborhood or a short potty amble.

Mental stimulation
Brains need exercise, too, so I work your dog’s brain through puzzle toys, scent games, and work-to-eat challenges that contribute to a calm, well-behaved dog.

Basic manners
I reinforce good manners with your dog out on walks and in your home. This includes polite leash walking, sit-and-wait at doors and curbs, and calm attention.

Gainful employment
Your dog should be pretty tired when we’re done, but I’ll also leave him with some additional activities to keep his day full (and keep him out of trouble!).

30-minute customized walk program: $30

60-minute customized walk program: $40

Enriched dog walking is perfect for:

Young, hyper dogs with excess energy
The blend of an energetic walk and challenging puzzle toys and games does wonders to wear young dogs down and take the edge off their intensity.

Senior dogs who are slowing down
Seniors benefit physically and mentally from regular exercise at a reduced speed combined with mental enrichment to keep them happy and engaged.

Dogs recovering from injury or illness
Dogs with exercise restrictions need other outlets for their energy. Mental stimulation helps avoid further injury and stave off frustration and depression.

Fearful dogs, including agoraphobia
A carefully personalized plan balancing exercise and mental stimulation can help reduce canine fear and anxiety, and improve overall quality of life.

Rain or shine; I never leave you in the lurch

Dogs need physical exercise and mental stimulation regardless of Mother Nature’s whims. And you need a calm, well-behaved dog to come home to no matter the weather.

On particularly nasty days we’ll take care of potties and then enjoy indoor games like tug and fetch, along with elevated mental stimulation activities to make sure your dog is plenty tuckered out to relax with you in the evening.
