Frequently asked Questions:

How do you know if my dog will fit into a group?

I cant know for sure, but I can get a general idea from discussing your dog's personality with you first, as well as witnessing your dog's behaviour in a park around other dogs. Before I add any dog to a group I ensure the dog is comfortable travelling in the cargo bike so the stress of that new situation is reduced. I then introduce each dog to each other outside of the bike. Just like with people there are certain dogs who will not like other dogs so there is no guarantee that I can add your dog to a specific group. We will need to try it out first. The safety and well-being of all dogs in the group is my priority

I am looking for an occassional dog-walker. Can you help me every now and then?

Unfortunately not. I work with set dogs on set days. I want to work on building harmonious groups that become like a family to each other. I make the walks interesting by playing different games and walking different trails but the buddies they have around them remain the same.

Am I locked into a subscription? 

Not at all. I work with Strip Cards. You can buy a strip for 5, 10 or 20 walks and once your strip card is full you are under no obligation to continue walks with me. I cannot guarantee the place in a group will be held open if a new strip card is not replaced. 

Do we have to pay for our place in the group when we are on vacation?

No. I appreciate being informed of vacation dates at your earliest convenience but you will not ever pay for a walk if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. 

 I try to inform all clients of my own holidays at least 60 days in advance.

Do you also do Dog-sitting?

Unfortunately with my living situation it isnt possible for me to have dogs in my own home.  For my own clients I offer in-home dog sitting for short stays.
