Rescue & behavioural dogs welcome

Pet care experience

Tamara Arnew Hi! Hello, I’m Tamara. I’m a crazy dog lady. I love dogs more than possibly anyone on this planet or the next. I have 3 rescues of my own and have been a home as needed for many others. My life is full of dog hair, constantly picking up poo, trying to sleep in past 4:15 A.M, being Switzerland in a world of toy and treat negotiations, taking up the smallest corner of a Queen size bed and dreaming of eating or showering without being watched. Two of my dogs have significant behavioural challenges and our day-to-day has to be very carefully managed with them in mind. I couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cumulative work and personal experience led me to opening up Helicopter Tail co. in the Summer of 2019. I previously worked full time in dog rescue and shelter work for a number of years, as various roles in vet clinics, had a dog treat company and finally became a dog walker in the Annex area. Immediately, I couldn’t believe it was a “job” I could have - to the point where it wasn’t just a job anymore (serious question: how can anything with dogs feel like a job?!) Then we moved to Cabbagetown and I fell head over heels in love with the neighbourhood and the “dog people” here.I’m fully insured and bonded with ProFur and licensed by the City of Toronto. I’m always trying to further my education and understanding of dog behaviours and immerse myself in the professional resources available. I always have a pocket full of treats. Arguably, one of my top five qualities.

Information Tamara A. would like to know about your pet

I have a lot of first hand "living" experience with dogs with behavioural issues and am happy to accommodate especially for these dogs - I know how hard it is to find someone willing to work with them! For rescue dogs or dogs with behavioural circumstances as many details about their routines and behaviours as possible would be beneficial. I have a welcome package requiring some additional details. All breeds, all temperaments welcome :)

A typical day

With my experience as a Toronto dog walker in my full time profession, I am happy to take your dog to any of the parks that I frequent. All of my walks are “adventure style” visiting locations in the city with an element of the great outdoors. We can also play fetch non-stop, or for older dogs - a car ride to the pet store and a treat. The activities can be dictated by your individual dog's personality and what they enjoy the most. You let me know! I'm just happy to hang out and spend time with them.
