What Can I Expect For My Dog's Walks?
We love and care a great deal about all our dogs in our Leash Team dog walking family. All dogs are matched into their dog walking pack by their personality and size. It's important to us that each and every dog has an active, enjoyable, safe and fun dog walk.
All dogs with The Leash Team wear GPS tracking devices on their walks as an extra ounce of precaution. All our dog walkers are certified dog walkers as well. They've all taken extensive training on dog behaviours, safety and dog walking protocols, processes and proceedures.
In 2021, all our dogs trainers will be using whistles to improve overall recall. We will be providing each of our human clients with a whistle as well so that they can reinforce this great habit.
Serving: Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood park and Spruce Grove

Why Are Group Dog Walks So Important for Your Dog?
Dogs are very social animals and they model their behaviour from behaviours that they learn from other dogs. Scientists refers a dog’s natural inclination to want to be with other dogs, to follow their lead, and to do the same things that they do as “allelomimetic behaviours”. Puppies, and dogs in general, will naturally show tendencies to imitate the behaviours of other dogs from a young age throughout their lives. Many important dog behaviours are learned because of participating in organized social behaviours.
Basically, other dogs can help your dog adopt and retain great behaviours. By participating in our group dog walks our clients know and understand that their dog gets more than socialization, they get taught how to behave by other dogs.
We carefully place each dog with a small dog group based on their size, temperament, and maturity. Yes, the dogs are having fun, socializing, and getting exercise on their group walks but they are also getting regularly educated by the other dogs on which dog behaviors are appropriate and which behaviours are not.
- Exercise ensures good physical and mental health. Just like their human counterparts, pets need regular and consistent exercise to live long, healthy, and happy lives.
- Walks provide socialization and stimulation. Walking not only gets your dog the exercise he or she needs, but it also stimulates his or her senses. Your dog gets to see, smell, feel, and hear all types of new and interesting things when out for a walk.
- Walks improve pet behavior. Simply put, a tired dog is a good dog. Regular walking helps to release excess energy in your pup, resulting in calmer behavior at home.
- Dog walkers give you peace of mind. Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of, especially when you are not at home.
- A dog walker saves you time. We all live busy lives and every minute counts. Sometimes, consistent lengthy walks are difficult to fit into our schedules.
- Continued socialization with other dogs, is necessary, to reinforce their learning about the language of dogs – how to play, how to listen to reprimands, how to interpret another dog’s mood, etc. Dog language can be thought of in the same way as human language. If you were to go through life not having anyone around you to speak your language, you wouldn't be able to speak or understand it.
