Before our walk, Bert and Tomato were treated to plenty of affection and pets, basking in the attention showered upon them. Bert, in particular, couldn’t contain his excitement, taking matters into his own paws by opening the little gate, a clear sign that he was eager to hit the pavement.

As we ventured out, the energy of the neighborhood greeted us warmly, with the sun casting its gentle glow and a light breeze carrying the promise of adventure. Bert and Tomato wasted no time in making their presence known, offering a bark of greeting to a passing dog, their tails wagging with enthusiasm.

Despite the brief interruption, our stroll continued, weaving through familiar streets adorned with picturesque ocean views. With each step, Bert and Tomato reveled in the sights and scents of the neighborhood, their curiosity piqued by every passing moment.

Upon arrival, Birdie greeted her trainer with an enthusiastic leash dance, a stark contrast to the nervous trembling of just weeks ago. The Bernedoodle, a ball of fluff with boundless energy, was blossoming. Gone were the days of timid exploration. Today, Cedar Grove Community Park was her playground. With a long leash trailing behind her, Birdie felt a newfound freedom. Her trainer Chelsea cheered her on as she conquered the jungle gym, each step a testament to their growing trust. Birdie, ever the eager student, aced the stair challenge too. Sitting patiently at the top, she awaited the go-ahead, before scampering down and landing a perfect “sit” at Chelsea’s feet. Though being comfortable going to the bathroom on the walk wasn’t accomplished yet, Birdie’s progress was clear. With a proud smile, Chelsea knew this Bernedoodle was destined for great things.

Rain, Squirrels & Super Sniffs: Can Cade Resist the Call of the Wild (Read his Adventure!)

The rain brings out all the wonderful smells which made today another perfect walk with Cade, the energetic Pitbull mix.

While we walked the trails, the only sound of footsteps were our own. The usual hustle and bustle of walkers had been replaced by a peaceful quiet, likely due to the recent rain shower. While we explored the trails, his nose glued to every bush like a furry detective.

Suddenly, a rustle in the undergrowth caught Cade’s attention. Two squirrels, their bushy tails wagged in defiance, scampered across the trail. For a fleeting moment, his nose twitched with the urge to chase. A firm but loving call of his name, however, reminded him of the adventure at hand. With renewed focus, he trotted back to my side, ready to continue conquering the labyrinthine trails.

Eventually, the intriguing scents took him in the direction of home. When we arrived, Cade happily lapped up some water, his tail wagging furiously. Another successful walk in the books for my favorite sniffing companion!

On an overcast morning, Harley trotted eagerly beside her dog walker Antigone. They meandered along Creswell Rd and 195th Street, the cool breeze rustling through the trees. As they approached a lady walking, Antigone held Harley’s leash firmly, ensuring the excitable pup didn’t lunge towards the passerby. Harley, with her keen instincts tempered by Antigone’s steady guidance, merely gave the lady a curious glance before continuing on.

Their route took them further south, where the suburban streets gave way to open fields. On their way back, Antigone noticed a flicker of movement—a black cat stealthily hidden among the tall grasses of a nearby field. Knowing Harley’s penchant for chasing anything that moved, Antigone decided not to draw attention to the feline, allowing it to remain undisturbed.

Harley, oblivious to the cat’s presence, pranced beside Antigone, occasionally sniffing at a bush. Despite her boundless energy, Harley responded attentively to Antigone’s commands, a testament to their well-established bond. Antigone, appreciating the quiet companionship of the morning walk, savored these moments of tranquility amid the bustle of daily life.

As they approached home, the sun began to peek through the clouds, casting a gentle glow over their path. Harley, content and slightly panting, looked up at Antigone with bright eyes, a silent gratitude for the fulfilling outing they shared together. Antigone smiled, knowing that their morning adventure wasn’t just about exercise—it was about the joy of exploration and the unspoken understanding between a dog and her walker.

The harness fit snuggly on Murphy’s golden fur as he bounced next to Hammy, his much larger Bernese Mountain Dog companion. The mid-day sun warmed their backs as they trotted down the sidewalk, tongues lolling in anticipation of their walk.

They turned the corner onto their street, a familiar route lined with houses and well-kept lawns. Birds chirped merrily from the trees, their songs a pleasant soundtrack to their walk. Murphy, ever the gentleman, ignored them. Hammy, however, couldn’t resist a playful woof at a particularly bold robin perched on a fence post.

Finally, they reached the park. The playground was deserted, the swings swaying gently in the breeze – it was a school day. Murphy lumbered curiously towards the equipment, eager to sniff around. Hammy, ever the playful one, weaved past the empty slide. Murphy, ever the loyal companion, circled the perimeter like a giant furry guard dog, keeping a watchful eye on his friend’s acrobatics.

With a tug on the leash, it was time to head home. Back in their own backyard, the familiar patio greeted them. Relief washed over them both as they finally answered nature’s call. Exhausted and happy, they collapsed onto the cool grass, side by side, best friends sharing a perfect afternoon.

Dachshund Duo Decides Between Snuggles or Sunbathing

The Pacific Northwest sun bathed the expansive deck in warmth, coaxing two dachshunds into blissful relaxation. Ruby, a stunning Merle with dappled fur, stretched out contentedly, soaking up the rays. Unlike her firecracker brother, Milo, she preferred sunbathing to chasing fleeting fancies.

Milo, a black and tan ball of energy, wasn’t quite ready to settle. He bounded across the smooth surface of the deck, his short legs a blur of motion. Every few minutes, though, he’d trot over to me, tail wagging a happy greeting. In a silent doggy code, he’d nudge my leg with his wet nose, a clear request for cuddles. I’d readily scoop him up, his warmth radiating through his soft fur.

After a few minutes of snuggles, Milo would hop down, replaced by his eager sister. Ruby would scramble onto my lap, her eyes filled with adoration. I’d scratch behind her long, floppy ears, a reward for her patient wait. We’d trade cuddles back and forth, the two dachshunds a furry carousel of love, their contentment a perfect counterpoint to the warm sunshine.

Eleanor, a spirited Golden Retriever, trotted alongside her walker, Antigone, as the two set out on a stroll through the Preserve.

Eleanor started with rolling on the grass to prepare for her adventure! Today, Antigone had turned their routine walk into a scavenger hunt, adding an extra spark of excitement to their adventure.

The first challenge was to locate something that flowed. As they continued their walk, Eleanor’s ears perked. They soon reached a bridge over a sparkling creek. Eleanor paused to watch the water trickle beneath them, fascinated by the serene flow and a duck swimming. Soon after, they stopped so Eleanor could rest and hydrate.

Second challenge was to find a place to sit. As they wandered through the Preserve, Eleanor’s keen nose led her to a park bench nestled under some shady trees. She happily flopped down beside it, her tail wagging as she took in the peaceful surroundings while drinking some water.

For the third challenge, Antigone asked Eleanor to find something fun. They meandered through the Preserve until Eleanor spotted a vibrant playground nearby. She watched as a man did some pull-ups. Then, her eyes brighten with anticipation as she saw the street that would take her home.

As they neared the crosswalk, Eleanor flopped down for one more rest. Antigone allowed the quick break before guiding her back home.

The sun was high in the sky, casting a warm, midday glow over the Preserve. The scavenger hunt had transformed their ordinary walk into a delightful adventure, showing that even in familiar places, there’s always room for a bit of fun and discovery.

Bunny, a mischievous gray Frenchie, trotted towards the forbidden zone – a bucket overflowing with plump orange carrots. Their earthy scent filled the air, a constant temptation for her adventurous nose. Her brother Bear, a black and white Frenchie with an infectious grin, ran by chasing the pig his walker Chantelle threw.

Torn between juicy carrots and playful pursuits, Bunny let out a frustrated snort. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she darted towards the toy. Bear, realizing he had competition, gave chase. They became a whirlwind of fur, weaving around the yard, playful barks echoing in the air.

One throw from Chantelle changed the course of their game. Bunny bolted right, Bear dashed left, and the pig landed smack in the middle. They collided in a comical head-on bump, like furry battering rams! Stunned for a moment, they shook their heads and with renewed energy, both lunged for the toy. Bear, with a determined growl, claimed victory.

For the remainder of the visit, Bunny participated in fetch, but on her own terms. Instead of chasing the toy pig with gusto, her enthusiasm fizzled out. If she reached the pig before Bear did, she’d run half the way back to Chantelle and just drop the pig and start grazing. This, of course, presented Bear with the perfect opportunity. He’d swoop in with a determined glint in his eye, ready to claim the abandoned prize.

At the end of the visit, Chantelle called out “Alright pups, time to head inside!” Bunny, with a final longing glance at the forbidden carrot bucket, her nose twitching with suppressed desire, trotted to the back door. Bear, his tongue lolling out happily, followed close behind. Despite their playful rivalry, a wet-nosed nudge and a shared lick of Chantelle’s hand confirmed their undeniable bond – two mischievous Frenchies, forever partners in playtime.

Hopper is always a bundle of joy and eager excitement. Nothing makes him happier than taking a walk on a beautiful sunny day. He’s so happy it’s hard to clip his leash on as he turns in happy circles! Once he is out the door he is completely focused, and his short legs lead him from one amazing spring smell to the next. “Hopper” is the perfect name for this little guy as he has a pronounced hop and skip to his gait. He looks like he is happily skipping through the neighborhood. Returning to his home makes him just as excited and happy. It’s the way he sees his happy world – it’s all good! A treat and a kiss on the nose and Hopper’s walk is done, until next time.

Rain pattered a gentle rhythm on the leaves as Bo, the easygoing explorer, set off on his morning walk. Unlike some pups who might get startled by loud noises, Bo barely flinched at a passing truck. He even seemed to enjoy the cool rain, a single dewdrop sparkling on his nose.

Bo thrived on his walks, confidently navigating the world with his walker. They discovered majestic eagles soaring overhead and enjoyed games of “find it” hidden in the tall grass. By the end, their walker beamed with pride. Bo, the almost-perfect heeler, strengthened his bond with his human with each successful outing. Every adventure brought them closer.

Unlike Bo, the easygoing explorer, some pups get distracted by every parked car or barking dog. Tailored Pet Services keeps your furry friend engaged and entertained, rain or shine!

Our trained walkers provide safe, fun adventures that build focus and strengthen your bond with your pup. No more battling squirrels for attention – we’ll keep your dog happy and exercised, leaving you with a wagging tail (and maybe a little less muddy paw print chaos).

Misty rain landed on the sidewalk as Juno and I started our walk down 27th Avenue. The cool drops quickly warmed Juno up, and her nose twitched with every new scent. We passed Burley Drive and turned onto Goblin Lane, where Juno got especially curious. Her forehead wrinkled in concentration as she sniffed a particularly interesting bush.

At the end of Goblin Lane, by Jefferson Elementary, Juno perked up. She looked into the school yard hoping to catch a glimpse of children playing (we saw some playing basketball). We headed home and saw numerous children (school must have just gotten out). With the rain clouds burning off, we saw a number of women walking their dogs.

As we neared the end of the walk, Juno stopped to stare. I looked up expecting another dog, but saw two children, one bouncing a ball. We quickly moved out of the way with no complaint from Juno. Excitement washed over her as we turned onto our street (playtime!).

Back home, Juno grabbed the stuffed soccer ball for me to throw. The perfect end to a fun, rainy walk.

It was a rainy spring day when Chuck and me set out for a walk around our neighborhood. Despite the sprinkling, Chuck’s tail wagged excitedly as he eagerly awaited his daily outing.

As we stepped outside, the cool raindrops gently fell on our faces, creating a soothing rhythm as we made our way down the familiar streets lined with colorful blooming flowers.

As we continued on our walk, the rain began to pour down harder, soaking us both to the bone. Chuck shook himself off, spraying droplets of water everywhere, his tail wagging even more vigorously in the downpour.

I couldn’t help but smile at his enthusiasm, his zest for life infectious even on a gloomy day. Despite the wet and cold, Chuck’s spirit remained undampened, a true testament to the resilience and joy found in simple moments.

As we arrived back home, Chuck’s fur was a mess of wet curls, but his eyes sparkled with contentment. I dried him off, grateful for the simple pleasure of our rainy day walk together.

In the end, it was just a walk in the rain, but it was a reminder of the beauty and magic found in everyday moments, even on the most ordinary of days. Chuck had taught me that sometimes, it’s the simplest things in life that bring us the most joy, and for that, I was grateful.

The sunshine practically bounced off Sunnie’s fur as she trotted alongside her walker Chantelle. Her tail thumped a happy rhythm against the grass as we ambled towards the field. It was way too nice a day to be cooped up inside.

Reaching the familiar path, Sunnie pulled Chantelle forward, eager to explore. She darted towards a shady spot by a bush, the perfect spot for a cool belly rub in the dirt. Forget fetch, digging was on the agenda! Sunnie gleefully excavated a shallow trench, then flopped down with a sigh, a goofy grin plastered on her face.

Chantelle couldn’t help but chuckle. Her furry client was a drama queen for sure. Throughout the visit, the ball remained sadly neglected. Sticks were infinitely more interesting for chewing, and every now and then, a particularly impressive rock demanded her full attention.

By the time we headed home, Sunnie was a panting, dirt-smudged mess, but a mess with the happiest golden grin. Maybe fetch could wait for another day. Today, Sunnie had unearthed the joy of cool dirt and giant rocks, and that was adventure enough.

Today’s walk with LouLou started out a little ruff because she pulled me along as she sniffed excitedly. At first, I thought it was just morning energy, but then I noticed the pattern. She’d lunge and pull only near the bushes, nose practically glued to the ground.

A mischievous glint in her eye confirmed my suspicions: bunnies. Spring must be stirring them from their winter slumber, and LouLou, ever the curious canine detective, was hot on their scent.

While I plan to work on her focus around these furry distractions, I can’t deny a sense of accomplishment. Progress, even in small sniffs, is a win in my book.

Bert is a pug. Tomato is a pug. Together, they’re a pair of really happy pugs!

It was a bright and sunny autumn day, and it was time for a visit from their walker. They heard the door open and listened with the utmost attention as footsteps made their way back to their play pen. When their walker rounded the corner, they leapt to their feet in a flurry of joy, dancing around while waiting for their door to be opened. Bursting free and giving plenty of kisses along the way, the snorty pair made their way out into the brilliant sunshine of their back yard, racing about as they soaked up the rays.

Getting geared up for the walk was just as exciting as being let into the yard. They snorted and offered even more kisses as their walker got their wriggly wrinkly little bodies into their harness and put them on a coupler lead to take them out into the neighborhood.

Once out on the sidewalk, the ever-present enthusiasm didn’t waver. The two tugged along, snorting and sniffing, curly little tails wagging. That is… until they heard an odd sound. It was a wail, like a siren, or perhaps a very large and very odd bird –but it ended just as quickly as it had started. Tomato tilted her head, and Bert stared straight ahead, not knowing what it could be!

Strange as that might have been, the culprit was quickly discovered. Their walk down the street quickly revealed activity in a nearby driveway. The neighbors were working on a decommissioned ambulance. It was indeed a siren they had heard!

With the mystery of the siren wail solved, the trio turned their way back home. Bert and Tomato paused to look back, not quite wanting the fun of the walk to end. But, a word of reassurance and they were quickly headed back to their cozy little pen, content with the fresh water and snuggly beds that waited for them.

From sunny backyard races to curious neighborhood explorations, these snorty pals know how to make every moment fun! What funny or quirky moments do your pets have during their walks? Share your stories and photos in the comments!

The rain pattered a gentle rhythm on the sidewalk as we set out for our walk. Waffles, known for her dislike for walks, trotted along beside me with a determined look. She wasn’t a huge fan of getting wet, but she seems to have started to enjoy spending time with me. As we walked, the rain increased a little. Waffles stopped and looked up at me with wide eyes, wanting to return home. I smiled and reassured her with a gentle scratch behind the ears. She wagged her tail tentatively and continued on. Despite the rain, the neighborhood was full of life. Birds chirped cheerfully knowing spring is just around the corner. We stopped to admire the new flowers starting anew, and Waffles, ever the curious pup she is, sniffed them cautiously. She then proceeded to sniff every flower and tree along the way. As we neared the end of our walk, i noticed Waffles perk up. She picked up her pace and wagged her tail excitedly. I realized she was eager to get home and dry off. I smiled, happy that she is enjoying our walks more and more. Back at home, l Waffles snuggled into her plush blanket with a contented sigh. I felt a surge of gratitude for your furry companion, who brought joy and laughter into my life, even on a rainy day.

Frenchie Fun: Mack & Milo Explore Sunny Sidewalks!

The sun beat down on the neighborhood, turning the sidewalk into a sizzling path. Perfect weather for an adventure! Mack, the white French Bulldog with his perpetually perky ears, trotted excitedly beside me. Milo, his grey counterpart, lumbered along with an equally enthusiastic wag.
Every house, every bush, every fire hydrant was a new adventure for these curious pups.

We ventured off the smooth pavement, their short legs moving through the beauty bark lining a nearby garden. Mack, the explorer, sniffed every interesting thing with his wet nose, while Milo, the social butterfly, tried greeting two people walking by.

By the time we returned home, their little tongues lolled out in happy exhaustion. It had been a glorious day of exploration and Mack and Milo couldn’t wait for the next sunny adventure.

The sky had wept all morning, transforming the yard into a glistening emerald canvas. After Sitter Antigone checked potty pads (they were dry), she let pups into the damp yard.

Usually, potty breaks were a drawn out affair for the dynamic duo, but today, the relentless rain had dampened their enthusiasm.

After both peeing in the grass, Luna led the way to a patch of ground beneath the trees that offered a semblance of shelter. After doing some sniffing, Luna took off onto grass to poop. Mochi hesitated, his paws delicately testing the cold, wet grass. With coaxing from Antigone, Mochi stepped back into the rain, his tiny form a testament to courage.

As quickly as they had arrived, they were back on the porch, waiting to go inside where it was dry. In their eyes, there was a spark of triumph. They had faced the rain together, and emerged victorious.

Antigone, a patient and experienced dog walker, set out on her walk with Dino, a dog with a complex history and a penchant for excitement. They began their walk heading south on 3rd Street, a path that led them through a mix of quiet residential blocks.

Dino, wearing his muzzle as a precaution due to past incidents during walks, trotted alongside Antigone. His leash was taut but manageable, a testament to his growing comfort with her steady presence. Antigone knew Dino’s triggers well and kept a bottle of whipped cream handy—the irresistible treat that often diverted his attention from potential disturbances.

Their journey was marked by small victories: Dino’s occasional stops to investigate intriguing scents, Antigone’s reassuring words as they encountered other dogs or passing joggers. The routine was briefly interrupted when a brown bunny darted across their path. Antigone calmly redirected Dino’s focus and rewarded his compliance with a squirt of whipped cream, effectively averting any commotion.

Further along, a large dog approached on a leash from the opposite direction. Antigone anticipated Dino’s reaction and deftly guided him to the side while offering another treat. Dino’s response was more subdued this time, showing the progress they had made together.

During their walk, they encountered a small dog both on the way out and on their return which prompted a different reaction. Dino lunged and barked despite Antigone’s efforts with the whipped cream. It served as a reminder of his ongoing sensitivity to certain stimuli despite their continued training efforts.

Nevertheless, they continued on, Antigone encouraging Dino with gentle words and more treats for his good behavior. Along the way, they encountered a jogger, and Dino’s interest was piqued but controlled, a sign of their progress. By the time they looped back towards home, both dog and walker were content. Despite his tiredness, Dino showed satisfaction in a successful outing. Antigone reflected on their journey, knowing they had navigated challenges together with patience and understanding.

Maggie’s ears perked up as she heard someone fumbling at the door. The young Boxer was a striking black and white, the brindle stripes of her coat being so numerous and wide that they didn’t allow any other color to peek through. Maggie pushed aside her housemates to leap up against the fence as the door swung open, where she happily slobbered that day’s walker, Megan, on the hand.

After a flurry of wriggly, kiss filled greetings, Maggie found herself harnessed up and trotting down the street at a brisk pace. The young athletic dog had a lot of energy to burn, and the first thing she focused it on was the neighborhood cats that seemed to be absolutely everywhere. They darted behind fences and under porches, catching the pup’s eye.

Soon, however, the pair were freed from the confines of the quiet lakeside neighborhood, and made their way down the trail around Silver Lake. There were endless sights to see; children played in the playgrounds, their squeals of laughter filling the air, and a man walked beneath a dock, sweeping a metal detector through the water. There were also ducks and turtles to watch amongst the lily pads – Maggie was remarkably focused on her walk, and made no attempts to chase the ducks like she had the cats.

In forty-five minutes, Maggie and Megan had made it all the way around the park, getting to linger in the shade of the trees and do some slower paced exploring before winding their way home.
