Did someone say "walk in the park?"

Hello, I’m Karen. I have worked in animal welfare for 5years and am PACE (Positive Approach Canine Education) certified and well as Fear Free certified. My passion is animals in general, and their wellbeing in particular. As I continue my studies in this field, I’m learning its so much more than just a walk for you dog. I utilize positive reinforcement training techniques and believe mental and physical exercise are equally important for every animal’s welfare. I will take the time to get to your dog and tailor the walks to his/her needs whether it’s a decompression sniffari walk for a high energy dog, or a slow meander around a quiet neighborhood for a senior or a fearful dog. If they prefer some play time in the back yard we can do that as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Walks from your home in familiar areas to your dog til we have built a relationship. Walks can be tailored as appropriate after that based on your request and instruction. Your dog's comfort is priority and my goal is for your pup to have a relaxing enjoyable time while we are together.

Karen was great, and modified our booking without being asked when we came home early, which was appreciated!
