Occasional we get calls from prospective clients asking if we will let their dog off leash, or take them on a group walk. Since 2000 the answer has been no and will continue to be no and here is why.
- As soon as the l
eash is unhooked from the collar we are no longer in control. We need control to make sure your dog stays safe and healthy. - Your dog may have the best recall in the world for YOU, but distractions like squirrels, birds, other dogs, or a great smell may stop them from listening to us.
- Often animals, especially dogs will go and look for their “master”.
- Stranger Danger – sadly dog theft is on the rise. Your dog running towards a stranger with tempting treats while we try to watch other dogs is a situation we would never want to put your beloved dog in.
- Wildlife – forests and trails are great. We love them and take our pooch there. But we are careful he doesn’t run too deeply into the forest in case of a run in with Coyotes, fox, raccoons etc. It is hard to track several dogs at once all running in different directions.
- Often in a group walk, one dog requires more attention than the others. We want to make sure your pup ALWAYS gets 100% of our attention. They deserve it.
- Even though all the dogs get along when they initially meet, you just never know when one of the pack is having a bad day putting the other dogs on the group walk at risk
