Original Dog Walking and Training Service Sure to Make any Dog Tired and Happy




Here's a shout out to Gary Strasburg, owner of Indognation, which is an original concept in pet sitting/doggie day care. Gary offers "extended outdoor adventures" for your dog in a group setting. Basically, they go into the woods, have the time of their lives and come home wasted (in a good way). A tired dog is a good dog, after all. Gary's outings not only exercise your dogs physically, but they also get plenty of mental exercise because Gary will positively reinforce any training skills your pup needs extra help with such as walking on a leash without pulling, coming when called, staying put, fetching, whatever. I really have to give him credit. I mean, would you want to take this mob out by yourself? I can hardly walk two without us all pretzeling up in the leashes.

Gary has over 20 years professional experience with dogs and 15 years experience with group walks. He is certified through Trish King's Canine Behavior Academy and uses all positive training methods (no rolled up newspapers here.) He takes care to screen each dog for temperament and to carefully match dogs with similar temperament and energy. And he takes care to keep each dog safe on every outing. Great news, too...he comes to you! Just say the word and he will pick up your dog and drop him off at the end of the day ready for a nap.
