The Active Dog Walk: Trustworthy and Experienced

Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate, living near Victoria Park with my two wonderful dogs – Tara, an Australian Shepherd and retired agility dog, and Sam, a Border Collie-Cockapoo mix and my current agility dog. With a background as a part-time agility trainer and years of living with high-energy dogs in the city, I've developed unique ways to make walks not just exercise but a fun and fulfilling experience for your dog. If you have a high-energy dog, I'm here to provide an active walk that meets both their physical and mental needs. But it's not just about the energetic pups! I also have experience with puppies, young dogs, and seniors, understanding their unique needs. For instance, my own senior dog, despite dealing with arthritis, remains mentally sharp. What Sets My Walks Apart: 1. Active walks: this can include games like searching for toys or treats, body awareness activities, tricks, recall games, and more – all customized to your dog's needs and concerns. 2. Routine Friendly: I am happy to keep up with current walking routines, whether it's stopping before crossing roads, loose lead walking, or using rewards, I'm happy to follow and adapt to your dog's current routine. 3. Tailored Walks: I always walk the dog in front, adapting my pace to suit the individual needs of your pup – whether it's a curious puppy, a nervous dog needing space, or a working dog in need of a job during the walk. 4. Safety and Trust Come First: My top priorities are the safety and trust of your furry friend. I'll follow all your instructions to ensure your dog feels secure both during the walk and at home.

Asta is simply wonderful. It’s clear she is very passionate about dogs, and also interested in working to their strengths. She asked me lots of great questions about Bonnie to ensure she made the most out of her time with Bonnie and continued her training in a similar fashion to us.

Asta has done a great job of building trust with our anxious rescue dog Gloria, who comes back looking very content after their walks together. We have already booked another walk & would highly recommend Asta.

Gloria was very excited to see Asta again. Asta is very patient with Gloria and understanding of her nervousness and doing a great job of slowly building trust. We will definitely be booking Asta again.

Safety, trust & environment

My top priorities are the safety and trust of your dog. I'll follow all your instructions to ensure your dog feels secure both during the walk and at home. Additionally, I will pay close attention to your dog's body language and the environment, making necessary adjustments so that your dog always feels safe and comfortable in any situation.

Information Asta Marie K. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know if your dog has any special needs, fears, or similar, so I can provide them with the best support possible. I will always take the time to accommodate the dog in front of me and tailor their walk to their specific needs. I'm more than happy to stop by for a meet and greet or have a phone call to discuss all the details.

A typical day

A typical walk with me ensures that your dog has had a fun and exciting experience both mentally and physically. We might practice a new trick together or engage in stimulating games, including exploring different smells and activities. We will end the walk with a nice rub down, ensure there is clean water, and then it's time for a well-deserved nap.
