Park Runs

$37/60min trip

+ $10 for each additional dog

As a general rule, I do not do park runs on evenings or weekends.

What is a "park run"?
A park run is a visit to an off leash, fenced-in dog park! It's a fantastic way for your dog to really burn off some energy, socialize with other dogs, and is often the best value service for dogs who need more mental and physical stimulation than they can get from daily walks.

I currently frequent the Magnuson off leash dog park on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, but am looking to include trips on Mondays and Wednesdays depending on demand.

How many dogs do you bring to the park at a time?
Right now I bring no more than 8 dogs to the park with me at any one time to ensure that I can confidently keep my pack safe.

To come to the park with me, your dog must:

be at least 14 weeks old
be fully vaccinated and licensed with the city. The only vaccination I am legally obligated to require is the rabies vaccine; all other vaccines are up to you and your vet.
be neutered! It is completely up to you whether or not you decide to neuter your dog, of course. However, intact dogs attract a lot of unwanted attention from other dogs; often the intact dog behaves appropriately but because of their hormones they cause the dogs around them to either mount them obsessively or become fixated on or aggressive towards them. That's no fun for anyone, especially your dog!
be spayed, or not currently in heat. Any unspayed females must wait at least two weeks after the end of each heat cycle to resume park runs with me. Please let me know during our initial consultation if your dog is not spayed.

Your dog may NOT be a good candidate for the park if:

they won't start a fight but will often continue a fight if another dog starts something
they don't have good recall (won't come when called)
they get nauseous or extremely anxious in the car
they eat non-food items like tennis balls, rocks, sticks, poop, etc. Even with a vigilant eye, it is very hard to keep these dogs safe at the park!
they don't recognize when other dogs are uncomfortable, scared, or done playing; many dogs are super friendly but don't recognize when they're being too forward.
they are afraid of or reactive towards certain breeds or sizes of dogs, or young children (who sometimes accompany their dogs). Always remember that I can't control who else brings their dog or their family to the park!
