private walks

sometimes, your pup just wants some alone time

For some pups, group walks may be overstimulation, and they may prefer private walks instead. Just because we are going on a private walk, doesn’t mean we can’t still explore and have an adventurous time together!

private walk at your comfort

We offer private walks in your pups’ comfort zone. This may be your pups’ favourite dog park or just around your neighbourhood, somewhere they are comfortable with.

private walk explore mode

And if they are feeling adventurous, we also offer private walks at destinations we frequent. We’ll take them to new dog parks, beaches, and trails.

it’s more than just dog-walking

Just as we provide training for our Outdoor Daycare experience, we also do for private walks! We will start-off each walk with a training session to set your pup up for success for the walk. If your pup struggles with leash walking, that is another skill we will be training for on our walks.

safety is our top priority

We understand that leaving your pup with us takes huge amount of trust and ensuring the pups’ safety is our number one priority above all else.

pet first aid

All our staff are Pet First Aid certified and are thereby certified to perform CPR and other emergency first aid in the event that your pup gets hurt or injured, whether it be a minor or major injury. We will also have a First Aid kit with us at all times including a plank for transportation in emergency situations.

to ensure safety on walks

Appropriate safety gear including front-clip harnesses and leashes will be provided. We carry a 44oz dog water bottle with us at all times to ensure that your pup is hydrated as they explore new places! We also have GPS trackers ready-to-use for all our attendees while they are under our care, in case of any unforeseen situation.

to ensure safety on the road (for explore mode)

Our PUPBUS equipment are all Crash-tested and CPS approved, including CPS approved seat harnesses and buckles, as well as Gunner Kennels. Our car seats have a non-slip tarp and the kennel has bed cushions for added safety and comfort. We have a strict maximum capacity, and we ensure that all pups are safely buckled in and are seated comfortably with room to stretch.

other safety protocols

We require a Meet and Greet and a signed Service Agreement prior to admittance into our programs. We strongly recommend our clients to consider admitting their pups on a recurring basis so your pup becomes comfortable working with our staff.
