A happy, well adjusted and healthy dog has plenty of opportunity for active play and socialization.
Action Dog offers a unique alternative to the traditional Doggy Daycare or Dog Boarding facility.
Individual Walks
30-60 minute walks for dogs for some solo individual attention.
Option A: We pick them up from your home or office for a leashed walk to check the pee-mail and get satisfying stimulation around the neighborhood. We reinforce good loose-leash walking and practice polite greetings with others we meet.
Option B: We load up to go to a local hiking trail. Utilizing a long training line, we reinforce strong recall and practice polite trail etiquette with other hikers, bikers, dog walkers and the occasional horse. Our goal is to build trust and a reliable recall until we can enjoy a fully off-leash hike.
Group Pack Hikes
Pickup and drop off from your home or office. We take groups of dogs to open spaces to run, sniff, explore safely and interact with nature and their friends. We supervise and monitor their play to ensure everyone is having a good time. We use positive reinforcement training techniques to increase good behavior on the public trails and with other trail users.
Including pick-up and drop-off time, they're out of the house from around 1.5 - 2.5 hours, getting satisfying social stimulus and plenty of engaging physical activity.
We hike rain or shine, and can feed or administer meds as needed.
Overnight Sitting
We offer a cozy alternative to the traditional boarding environment.
Option A: Sleepovers in our home. We have a safe, clean and comfortable environment where our guests have access to their choice of bed, sofa, or den to snooze off an active day. We follow your instructions for daily feedings, provide many walks, hikes, play and interactive training games.
Option B: Pet-sitting in your home. For dogs that may not settle down well in a new environment and feel more comfortable in their own spaces, or families with cats or other animals. In addition to the caretaking of your pets, we can bring in your mail and water the plants, etc.
“Action Dog has been a lifesaver in so many ways. These off leash walks are the highlight of our dog's week! We didn't think anything could tire her out but she comes home happy and totally exhausted both physically and mentally. To add to it her recall and behaviour on off leash walks with us has been simply amazing.”
