It’s more than just exercise.
Off- leash walks can have some huge benefits for our dogs. That being said, off-leash walks carry a lot of responsibility and risks when a dog is not ready to be off-leash.
​
Because of this we are taking our time developing our off-leash program. If you would like to be involved please reach out, all dogs will start ON-Leash to build a bond first and assess their skills while alone with me before proceeding to remove the leash.

​
Does my dog need vaccines? What about parasite control?
All dogs must have up to date vaccine records or titre results for Distemper/Parvo and Rabies submitted before their first walk and updated before expiring. Bordetella (kennel cough) is recommended for most dogs. We recommend discussing parasite control and vaccine schedules with your veterinarian. By signing up for walks you accept the risks associated with close contact of dogs in and out of dog parks.
My dog is intact, can they still join?
Yes! Intact males and females are still able to join our pack walks as long as they are able to maintain manners in pack settings. Females in heat are NOT permitted to join on or off leash pack walks for their safety and the safety of the pack. Please give us much notice as possible when heats are expected so we can make appropriate arrangements.
We're working through some behavior issues, will you work with us?
Depending on the behavioral concerns your pup it is possible and they may even benefit from our structured walks. On-leash pack walks can be a great way for dogs to learn calm socialization skills from the other dogs without the pressure of off-leash walks or the solitude of private walk settings.
Not all dogs with behavioral concerns are ready to join right into the packs, but fear not with some patience, training and the right team, it is possible.
We are happy to make suggestions as to some amazing trainers in Calgary that may suit your needs.
What are your training philosiphies? What gear is allowed or recommended?
Above all else my biggest training philosophy is : No judgment.
Safety is the highest priority in working with dogs, and the biggest way to advocate for their safety is to communicate in a way they understand - therefore we will maintain as much of your training as possible on our walks. This includes the use of any tools that you use.
Positive reinforcement is used in the form of whatever is rewarding to each individual - verbal praise, physical praise (pets), play, and food (when safe and appropriate).
​
All harnesses and collars must be properly fitted. Prong collars included - if your prong is not properly fitted I can help you get the right kind and fit. You must have a secondary collar for a safety/ prong catcher to be attached as well.
E-collars must be appropriately conditioned and used in a humane way.
Halti's (over the nose harness) may be used if properly conditioned and your dog must have a properly fitted secondary collar/harness, Halti's will NOT be used with dogs who lunge or at high risk of causing whip lash injuries to themselves.
Flat collars must be fitted, if a dog tries to back out of a flat collar we reserve the right to use a limited slip or martingale collar for safety purposes - we will then advise you and discuss gear options for future walks.
​
Do you cancel walks when it's too cold?
The safety of all dogs in our care is always our top priority. To help protect your pets we have some guidelines that we follow. Winter Temps will be monitored with the windchill in mind.
-
-20 C : Dogs sensitive the cold may struggle, please reach out to discuss if boots/jackets may be beneficial for your dog. Walk times may include car breaks to warm up.
-
-25-30 C : These temperatures are pretty brutal for canines and humans alike. Dogs sensitive to the cold without winter gear will be offered mental stimulation & potty breaks.
-
Not only do we adjust for the cold but also the heat. Most dogs don't need adjustments until 25+, this varies based on breed, body condition, and acclimation. Anything over +30 degrees may be shortened or cancelled if I can not safely find shelter and water for the dogs. .
