We are a home-grown Oakland business, established in 1999. On many occasions, you will find several members of our family out on walks. We really love animals and have many of our own. We have participated in many community fundraising events, most recently the Pet Mayor Contest of Montclair, and we are proud to say that our son’s gecko Sparky won for the title of Night Patrol Officer. Our efforts raised money for one of our favorite local charities, the Montclair Pet and Wildlife Fund. We also take care of our local parks by organizing community poop-scoop clean up days.

Our approach is one of safety, love, trust, and fun! We have taken many dog- training classes, and we have worked with several trainers over the years to develop our training technique and style. We have a broad and beautiful perspective about how dogs learn, and how to manage large groups. We constantly work on basic obedience and trail manners. Our groups play while feeling comfortable and safe. We take great care in introducing new dogs to their play groups. Our style is so effective that we created a demonstration video, and we have mentored new dog walkers.

Our work ethic:

• Safety first
• Provide professional and dependable service
• Clean up on the trails and mind protect flora and fauna
• Show common courtesy to everyone on the trails
• Continue to educate ourselves to improve our client’s clients’ relationships between with their four-legged family friend

 

SPARKY FOR MAYOR! We participated in the Montclair Pet Mayor contest, where our family gecko, Sparky, raised money for one of our favorite local charities, the Montclair Pet and Wildlife Fund. She won the title of Night Patrol Officer for 2010, which suits her nocturnal habits.

 

SCOOP THE POOP! We love our access to the parks and we want to be good ambassadors, so we organize regular park clean-up events. Our last event was at Skyline Gate where we cleaned the trail.

HELPED CRAFT ORDINANCE 38. In 1999, we were one of a select group of dog walkers that participated in the creation of Ordinance 38, which governs professional dog walkers in the East Bay Regional Parks.
