Dog Walking Questions

Our extended group walk program works just like taking your dog out for a group walk only for a REALLY LONG time! We will pick your dog up in the morning and he won’t return home until the end of the day, usually between 3-4 pm. Your dog will have plenty of exercise as well as rest in between walks. He will also have plenty of water, treats, and one-on-one bonding with his dog walker.
Your dog will love it – We know ours does!

Your dog must be at least five months old before we can take them on our group dog walks. This age ensures all dogs are mature enough to walk comfortably in a group and will not get left behind.

Not necessarily. Your dog does not need to be fully trained at all. Our dog walkers will be able to teach them basic commands and teach them great dog walking skills. With that being said, your dog should have basic manners. Pups must be friendly with other dogs and people. If your dog is not friendly, we will not accept them.

All you need to do to prepare your dog for walking services is make sure all their vaccinations are up to date. Be prepared to show proof of vaccination with both the kinds of vaccine they received as well as the date they received said vaccination.

A group dog walk will last for an hour, but with pick-up and drop-off times, a session may last up to three hours in total. This provides your dog plenty of time for healthy exercise, social interaction, and playtime! If there are specific times you need your dog home or out of the house, please communicate that prior to your walk day.

At Suburban Dog, we believe in having smaller walking groups to allow for the same social interaction and plenty of one-on-one time for training opportunities and specialized care. Your walking groups will vary based on dates and times but expect between one and three other dogs.

Our dog walkers will take your fluffy friends to local dog parks as well as general walks around the neighbourhood. The time at the parks will allow them time to engage off-leash with other pups, and the time on walks can teach them great manners and walking skills.

Hopefully this answered all your questions. Should you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact Suburban Dog inc for the answers! Call us today to book your GTA dog walking session today.

Yes! We schedule an appointment to meet you and your pet at your home. You get to see how we interact with your pet as we want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet is in good hands. During this time, you will be asked for a copy of your house key and to complete a few standard forms.
