Private Walks for dogs with big feelings
So much more than “just a walk”...
Our private dog walks are tailored to your dog’s unique personality and quirks. Using a combination of Scent Walks, Movement Work, R+ training and Nose Work Games we offer your dog different tools and opportunities for them to interact with the world around them, explore and get curious.
For dogs with big feelings, time outside isn’t just exercise. It’s an opportunity to explore, decompress, and learn new ways of navigating the world with curiosity and fun always leading the way.
what makes our walks different
Your dog will never get “just a walker.”
Everyone on our team is either a trainer or a trainer in the making, learning how to read behaviour, respond thoughtfully, and adjust in the moment. This is what makes our walks more intentional, more supportive, and very different from your casual neighbourhood dog walk.
We meet dogs where they’re at and use movement, games, and curiosity to help nervous systems settle and confidence grow.

scheduling
Our walks are designed to be recurring, with a minimum of one walk per week. We don’t offer as-needed or one-off services, as consistency is essential for dogs to truly benefit from this experience.
Routine matters, especially for more sensitive dogs. The more consistently we walk together, the better we get to know your dog. That familiarity allows us to personalize enrichment, build trust, and continue building on what’s working over time.
Walks are scheduled within the following time blocks:
Morning: 8:00–11:00 am | Midday: 11:00 am–2:00 pm | Afternoon: 2:00–5:00 pm
We do our best to accommodate more specific timing requests when possible, but exact start times within these blocks can’t always be guaranteed.
|*Holidays/after-hours bookings: +$10 (pending availability)
our dogs
All dogs need enrichment, so our services are for all dogs! But these pups find our services especially beneficial:
-
Curious Snoots was created with the sensitive dog in mind! There’s nothing we love more than seeing a fearful dog exploring around and discovering how awesome (and safe) life can be.
Our gentle and patient approach creates a safe space for them to be themselves, learn to trust and get curious.
After all, the best way to tackle fear is with curiosity. -
If you have a reactive dog we know you are looking for someone who understands reactive behaviour and knows how to keep your pup happy and safe while on the walk.
We have lots of experience avoiding triggers and minimizing rehearsal of reactive behaviours. Our heavy focus on enrichment offers a whole set of tools to play with in order to keep your dog calm and engaged throughout the walk.
-
Rescue dogs go through a whole life-changing experience that’s easy to overlook from our human experience.
I mean, after all, we’re giving them a new life full of safety, love and lots of toys but, let’s not forget, this is still a big change they’re going through and change is always stressful.That’s why recent rescues greatly benefit from our enriched dog walks because we create a space for them to explore their new neighbourhood, taking in all the new smells while building positive experiences in their new environment.
Plus, I know you’re also still discovering who your new dog is, learning about their personality, likes and dislikes, and we LOVE sharing our observations with you! We are all discovering your new dog together!
Think of us as your “get-to-know-my-dog” squad. -
Our enriched dog walks are PERFECT for pups who need to take it easy due to age and/or health conditions. Since we’re so focused on enrichment we can easily adapt the walk experience to your dog needs.
Maybe we just do a little pee break and spend the rest of the time indoors doing some nosework or a little recreational training session. Or maybe we do a slow walk with lots of sniffing games along the way.
The options are endless!
the walk and train club
Our interactive walks are all about your dog's enjoyment and fulfilment. You'll see training moments woven in naturally, but always in service of fun, not performance.
