Individual dog walking services
The general concept of a “dog walking service” is generally well known amongst dog owners. In The Hague and surrounding area you will find plenty. Very understandable, because with the rush of every day dogs don’t always get the exercise they need. The dogs we see when giving behavioural therapy, in many cases can’t go on walks with these services. We offer walks including training in our individual dog walking service. If you recognize you or your dog in one of the examples we are the right solution for your situation:
- Your pup being unable to walk and play for an hour yet;
- Your pup needing more personal attention for good socialization and training;
- Your dog having behavioural problems which need attention and guidance;
- Your dog not liking other dogs, be it to play or walk with them;
- You not being fond of the idea that your dog gets little specific attention;
- You don’t like the idea that your dog spends a lot of time in a van;
Your male dog not being neutered or your female dog being in heat;- Your dog being too old / ill, to walk an hour;
- Your dog not being sufficiently obedient (yet);
- You working requires walks irregularly, sporadically or in the weekends;
Our method
We try to respond to the wishes and needs you and your dog may have. We look at every dog as an individual, and each individual needs another approach. Training is always part of our walks, so dogs that aren’t the best listeners, can’t walk off the leash (yet) or have behavioural issues are welcome.
What it is we offer
Your dog will be walked by a certificated dog trainer and canine behavioural therapist (in training). We think knowledge is extremely important. After all, we’re dealing with living creatures! That’s why we have knowledge of breeds, behaviour, training methods and First Aid for dogs. You are ensured of a professional approach.
Each walk is based on strengthening wanted behaviour and replacing unwanted behaviour. That’s why we use “positive” training, for dogs whom aren’t just obedient, but happy as well. Next to this, we keep to the dog walking etiquettes, which you can find on our website. After all, nobody wants their dog to be a bother to others.
