​The Meet 'N Greet for Dog Walking
Each new client will receive a complimentary Meet 'N Greet. It gives us an opportunity to meet you, your family and your pet(s) and we will have a discussion to determine what service best suits your pet’s needs and conduct an assessment. This meeting will take place in your home.
For dog walking clients we will discuss the times, days, frequency, and length of walks you require, your dogs breed and temperament, your location.
For dog and pet sitting clients we will discuss travel dates, location, breed and temperament, and your specific needs.

If you decide to choose Heidi's Happy Hounds to care for your dog, you will fill out a Client Intake Form which includes information specific to your pup, including vet and emergency contact info. We will go over their routine, and you will be assigned a Primary Pet Care Provider, the main care giver for your dog. A key exchange or equal arrangements would also be made at this time, as well as answering any questions you may have.

Safety

The safety of your dog, your home, and our walkers has always been our main priority at Heidi's Happy Hounds. We have taken many precautions to ensure we can continue to operate safely during this pandemic.

Before each walk:

• Walking equipment (leash/collars/harnesses) is checked.
  
• Weather and environmental conditions are taken into account.
  
• Phobias, behaviour issues, and reactivity are taken into consideration.
  
• With the exception of our groups walks, all of our walks are private and on leash (unless requested by owner, and approved by Heidi)
  
• Masks are wore inside.
  
• Hand sanitizer is used before and after all walks.
  
• Masks and Curbside pick up or social distancing when clients are home.
  
• Contact-free, cashless invoicing system.
  
• Walker self-assessments are done each morning and no one works unless this is completed and passed.
• All of Heidi's Happy Hounds walkers are over 18 years of age, have clean police checks, and are life long animal lovers with prior experience taking care of dogs.​
  

Dog Walking.

Mar 1:  We are currently accepting new private dog walking clients!

However, our availability is very limited. Please see our Contact Us page for more info.

​Private 30 or 60 minute walks

We offer regular 30 or 60 minute walks.

These walks are great for most dogs. They can be of a structured or a decompression nature, whichever is best for your dog. Dogs thrive on consistency, especially young dogs, so we will adhere to whatever training routine your dog is following to help keep everything consistent.These walks are typically done in your neighbourhood, however for 60 minute walks driving to a trail or park for a long line or off-leash walk are also possible (with client's approval.)

Successful Puppy Visits

Don't let all the hard work you're doing with your puppy go out the window by hiring the wrong dog walker!

We offer an amazing specialized and unique program for puppies, available to pups between two to eight months old. This consists of two highly structured visits during your work day, approximately 3 hours apart. We focus on setting your puppy up for success by using positive reinforcement to build confidence, work on impulse control, encourage focus and attention, and work on basic training. We prioritize socialization and working within your puppy's comfort zone. Any feeding needs are included in visits.

$40 + HST

Group Adventure Walks

We offer 50 minute group walks with a maximum of six dogs.

These are perfect for active, social dogs, and a great learning experience for older puppies! These adventures include driving to a park or trail, so the dogs can be out of the house for up to 1.5 hours. These walks are done off leash for maximum adventuring! We can use a long line, if need be, but basic recall is required. We don't go to fenced-in dog parks. One 30 minute private walk may be required before booking a group walk to assess your dog.

$26 + HST.
