Meet the Walkers

Growing up surrounded by family dogs, I developed a love for them at a young age, but it was in 2011 when I rescued a stray (Grizzlie the Chocolate Lab in photo) while on a teaching venture, that my passion for dogs grew exponentially.
In the years since, I invested a lot of time educating myself on canines (training, obedience, dog safety, behaviour, breeds, etc.) via several hours of training classes, workshops, interacting with dogs, and walking them. My goal as a dog walker is to ensure all dogs receive a safe, tiring, fun, and stimulating experience so that they arrive home ready to relax. |

Growing up in a small town in the Ottawa Valley, I watched my grandmother provide the most tender loving care to any animal that crossed her path—be it dog, cat, goat, rabbit, or duck! This left me with a great respect for all living things and an instant connection to all wildlife.
Once I graduated from University, I finally became a dog owner to a wonderful Shih-Tzu Poodle named Finn, who is now almost 14. This eventually led me to pursuing dog walking! It is an amazing opportunity to be part of your dog's day, leaving them fulfilled and ready for a nap! |

Having been surrounded by animals from a young age, I developed an unwavering love for dogs. Being responsible for walking, feeding, playing with, and training (sometimes unsuccessfully) our family dogs from a young age helped further develop my passion to work with and care for dogs. When I was 13, I decided our Bernese Mountain Dog (Whistler) would love to do some agility work (Ha!) so, using bricks and sticks in my back yard, I built him an agility course. We might not have qualified to any agility competitions, but we had fun!
I am happy to be able to work in a field I am so passionate about. My current pup Astro reminds me daily how important and special it is to provide him with a life full of adventures, unforgettable experiences and immeasurable fun! It is an amazing privilege to get to bring some extra joy into your dog’s lives too! |
Giovanni - Trainer & Walker

I am a certified dog trainer who is passionate about providing support as well as guidance to owners and their dogs to help them build a relationship with a foundation of trust and connection.
My philosophy is based on a balance between discipline and affection, in order to build a healthy and harmonious relationship between you and your dog. Since every dog is unique, I adapt my methods to their personality and your comfort level, offering a personalized and effective approach. When walking dogs, I use my experience as a trainer to create calm, structured walks that reinforce good behaviour and build confidence. |
