The Private Walk

Private walks can be booked for 25 or 45 minutes and are a calm, one on one experience designed just for your dog. These aren’t group walks or rushed outings, they’re tailored time where your dog can move at their own pace, explore safely, and get focused attention from a handler.

Private walks are especially beneficial for dogs who are reactive, shy, older, or simply overwhelmed in busy environments. With fewer distractions, dogs can actually relax, take in their surroundings, and enjoy their walk instead of feeling overstimulated.

They’re also great for building confidence and reinforcing good leash manners. The consistent structure helps dogs feel secure, while the extra attention supports better engagement and communication.

Whether your dog needs a quick stretch or a longer sniff-and-explore session, private walks give them exactly what they need - quiet, connection, and a bit of adventure on their terms.

A Game Of Fetch 🦴

Our one on one structured fetch sessions are more than just playtime, they’re a great way to burn energy while building focus and engagement.

Dogs practice waiting, retrieving, and returning, turning a simple game into a mentally and physically enriching activity. It’s especially beneficial for high energy dogs who need a little extra outlet during their stay.

Each session is tailored to the individual dog, helping them leave feeling more fulfilled, relaxed, and balanced.

Add a fetch session to your dog’s stay for some extra purpose driven fun 🐾

Our Structured Walk add-on is a great way to give your dog more than just exercise during their stay.

Using our slip lead leashes, we focus on building better leash manners, encouraging calm, respectful walking, and reinforcing engagement with the handler. These walks are intentional and guided, helping your dog practice skills that carry over at home.

Perfect for dogs who pull, get overly excited, or just need a little extra structure in their day.

Available to book through your online account with Tracie or Madison during your dog’s stay.

SAVE $10 on your first structured walk from now until April 30th. Send us a DM or text and mention this post.

Our team also provides gentle behavioural guidance throughout the day, reinforcing positive habits like good social skills, calm interactions, and respectful play.

🐕 Training packages
🚶‍♂️ One-on-one walks
