We do not. Walkers who take dogs out of the city are often doing so to avoid having to purchase insurance and annual dog walking permits. It also also them to greatly exceed the 6 dog limitation and take as many as they can fit into a van. Lastly, they often charge higher rates because the walks appear to be 'longer' when in reality the dogs are just in the car longer.

This is not what we'd want for our dogs. Our goal is to be a little more environmentally considerate by spending less time driving and more time walking, while also keeping prices reasonable. For these reasons we do all of our walks within the many parks, trails, ravines and beaches available throughout our beautiful city.

Absolutely! Even if it’s just for a couple days a week to get your dog socialized and used to being away from your family. It can really help avoid future issues like  separation anxiety and behavioural problems with other dogs.

Sometimes it’s also nice to just have your dog return home from a fun outing tired and not begging you for attention all day.

Puppies can, and often do, start walks with us as young as 14 weeks of age... and don't worry, we have plenty of experience safely integrating the smallest of pups into group walks.

Puppies will be brought to the securely fenced 'small dog' park. We want to ensure we can watch their initial behaviour closely, and that they are not overwhelmed by bigger dogs. These early social interactions are very important and can shape the way they interact with other dogs as they get older.

We had to stop taking dogs from buildings due to a long list of challenges we've been facing throughout Covid.

This is an important question to ask a dog walker! All too often Dog Walkers will bring every dog they walk over to the nearest dog park for their own convenience.

At Eglinton Dog Walker we do things differently! Our goal is to offer walks in an assortment of different settings. This includes the more popular off-leash dog parks like Sherwood Park, Cherry Beach, Sunnybrook Park, in addition to structured walks on hiking trails and other green space.

Additionally, we offer walks at the 'small dog' park located inside the sunnybrook dog park. This park is for dogs under 20lbs so they can play with other little dogs. We strive to ensure that the locations are suitable and enjoyable for each of our dogs.

No. We strive to keep the dogs clean and take them to weather appropriate areas. Then after each walk we wipe the dogs down and rinse them if needed.

Yes! If this is a service you'd like for your dog then let us know what you need help with and we will discuss options to assist with training. Please also bear in mind that all of our dog walkers work with the dogs in their care to ensure they listen to the most basic of commands.

Private/on-leash walks are typically meant for dogs that can't go off-leash (even at an enclosed dog park) or cannot be in a social setting due to health or behavioral issues.

If your dog loves to play with other dogs and has the ability to be off-leash then they will benefit far more from a off-leash group walk where they will get to walk, wrestle and play with lots of other energetic and friendly dogs.
