Happy Paws make for Happy Owners

I have been a dog lover for 35 years. I used to volunteer as a dog walker with the Comox Valley SPCA. I am certified Dog Trainer (CCPDT-KA), Dog Walker and Pet First Aid. I only use a "positive reinforcement method" for training the dogs. I provide lots of mentally stimulating enrichment activities to make sure your dogs are happy and their needs are met. My focus is on quality more than quantity. I am fit, hard working and reliable. Available for weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am happy to exercise your dog, or drop in to feed, or play with them. Whatever specifics you need to know about your dog, I will note them. With me, your dog will not only get the exercise and companionship they need to stay happy and healthy, but you can be assured I am using the best, most current methods for positive handling. Please do not hesitate to contact me and hope to hear from you soon :)

I completely trust Kaoru in the care of my pup. She is calm, knowledgeable and fun! Kaoru understands what a dog needs and I appreciate that she engaged my pup on the walk with a treat seek and find.

Kaoru was excellent with my energetic puppy. She was very accommodating to my requests and even took time to work on some training with my pup. She sent me many photos and updates on how the walk went which I really appreciated. I will definitely use Kaoru again!

Kaoru was very thorough and helpful during her visit with Finn, she took lots of photos of him and made sure he was safe and well kept. I definitely will be using her services again!
