Our head office is located in the St. Lawrence Neighborhood next to the Distillery District downtown Toronto. Our territory is growing as our staff grows, our area covers all of Downtown Toronto from Yonge Street east to the Woodbine and north to Bloor/Danforth Streets.

    We walk our clients dogs, on leash, in their own neighborhoods and parks close to their home on bad weather days. More often than not we will take them to Cherry Beach or Coronation Park. Ultimately, the decision is up to you the client and depending on the dogs training, we will take them to a fenced in, off-leash park, but only with your permission.

    Dogs are pack animals by nature and need the company of other dogs or humans to stay healthy, socialized and content. Investigative behavior is the most prominent type of behavior seen in the dog. Regular daytime activity provides mental stimulation through territorial investigation, socialization and play. Along with the emotional benefits, there are physical benefits directly related to the better health of your dog. A couple of long walks (better yet off leash walks) are the best way to exercise your dog who may otherwise spend most of his or her day sleeping. Older dogs require exercise on a regular basis in order to stay healthy, fit and young.

    Being such social animals, it is in their nature to investigate other dogs. They should be encouraged from a young age to appropriately greet and interact with other dogs and people during walks. We discourage the rushing toward other dogs while on leash or off leash, a slow approach is most appropriate. These positive experiences help the dog behave appropriately when greeting visitors to your home, or when the dog is with you anywhere else. If a dog doesn’t have the opportunity to socialize, it won’t interact appropriately with people or other dogs. For instance a neighbor of mine in Florida has two dogs whom attack any dog that comes on their property (well they attack any animal, snack or reptile and kill it), this is because they are not only protecting their territory but the two dogs themselves constitutes a pack and they have full run of their 3 acres with few visitors.

    Attention seeking behavior is also prominently developed and prolonged from early infancy. This behavior seems necessary for puppies and is certainly indulged in among adult dogs and between dogs and their human companions. It is through this pattern of behavior that you are able to establish a close bond of relationship with the dog, which is ideal in a relationship with your dog.

    Making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise is one of the best ways to prevent behaviour and a variety of health problems. At a minimum two walks a day help prevent destructive behaviour and separation anxiety, for instance. Why not have us take your best friend for his/her mid-day walk while you are busy at work?
