The vole hunt is a fine opportunity to drag the leash. Environmental conditions and Mile’s internal conditions were just right for some movement freedom.

Happy Birthday, Miles! 🥳

Walking during a sunshower has risks. Fortunately, we saw no fox spirits today. 狐の嫁入り

Our Story

Every Dog Deserves A Fairy Tale! Between work and social engagements, you lead a busy life. Giving your dog the regular exercise and socialization she needs can be a challenge. Don't fret! The Fairy Dogfather is here to help! I specialize in on-leash walks using positive reinforcement techniques. Your tail-wagger deserves as much attention as he can get which may be hard to come by when walked in larger groups. I keep my service area intentionally small and the number of dogs walked in groups are limited to 4 or fewer. And for less social pooches 1-on-1 private walks are available.
