Why Dogwalks?
You have no shortage of dog walkers, dog boarding companies, and dog trainers to choose from here in San Francisco. The decision can be downright overwhelming, but it helps to understand that not all companies are the same.
Here’s what makes us different:
We’ve been doing this a long time
San Francisco dog walking and training companies have exploded over the last 10 years, but we’ve been here since the beginning. We’ve built a long-standing reputation for excellence, and we’ve amassed years of experience taking care of dogs and people both.
We put clients first
All dog walkers and dog trainers love dogs. We’re no exception. But we also love our human clients just as much, and that’s much more rare in an industry known for poor customer service.
You can rely on us to be there
You have enough to think about. You don’t need to be worrying about whether your dog walker is going to show up or your puppy is going to get out to relieve herself on time. We always do what we say we will, and then some.
We combine professional services with a personal touch
This is basically what it’s all about for us. Our incredible, long-lived, and tight staff works together to make sure your needs are met and your dog has an incredible time, whether on his daily walks, boarding with us while you’re out of town, or learning something new.
You want the best for your dog
Dogwalks owner Julia Frink is dog*biz certified and personally sees to the training of all her staff, building a team who understands dogs and dog behavior, and how to make sure all of our four-legged charges are having a safe and wonderful time.
We use ethical Positive Reinforcement methods
We understand that your dog’s physical health is just as important as their mental and emotional wellbeing. That’s why our team of experts is committed to using positive reinforcement force-free methods that are effective, compassionate and support every aspect of your dog’s health and training.
Why Positive Reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement training is an amazing way to teach your dog new behaviors and strengthen your bond with them. Here are just a few reasons why it’s such a powerful approach:
- It’s Easy: With positive reinforcement training, you simply reward your dog for doing something right, which is a simple and enjoyable process that anyone can do.
- It’s Effective: Studies have shown that positive reinforcement training is more efficient than punishment based methods. Your dog is more likely to learn and retain new behaviors when they are reinforced positively!
- It’s Ethical: Positive reinforcement training is all about building trust and a positive relationship between you and your dog. By rewarding the behaviors you want to see more of, you create a safe and loving environment that encourages your dog to learn and grow.
Positive reinforcement training is an exciting and rewarding approach that can transform your relationship with your dog. By choosing positive reinforcement you’ll build a strong bond based on trust, and you’ll create a happy, well-behaved, and well-adjusted dog that brings joy to your life every day.
