DOG WALKING
We offer the following options to get your furry friend some exercise and fun time outside:
WALKING TRAINING
Walking training allow us to work on your dog's loose leash walking skills or reactivity several times a week while you are at work! This type of training leaves most of the work to us; your dog learns directly from a pro so you don't feel the stress of adding more items to your daily "to do" list (plus your dog gets an extra potty break during the day)! Please contact us for more information.
We require a minimum of 3 days/week for walking training. To encourage investment in the process, discounts are available for commitments of 3+ weeks.
$130/hour for walking training
$185 for initial 90 minute consultation
Solo dog walks
For dogs who are not reactive, we will schedule occasional walks as our schedule allows. Please contact us for more information and scheduling!
Reactive dog
SOLO WALKS
Lauren has a special place in her heart for reactive dogs who have trouble getting along with other pups or people! She knows how hard it can be on families who take on these dogs, and is dedicated to providing the dogs with the exercise and mental stimulation they deserve - and giving their humans peace of mind.
Lauren has been working with all kinds of reactive dogs and their people for years; she has the experience and skills necessary to keep these dogs happy and safe.
We offer regular (weekly) 1 hour walks specifically for reactive dogs, but we will sometimes schedule shorter walks as our schedule allows.
$100 per 60 minute solo walk. Discounts available for multiple walks per week!**
Your dog walker should be able to:
Empathize with & respect your dog’s feelings
Read your dog’s body language
Advocate for your dog & prioritize their comfort
Offer enrichment tailored to your dog’s individual needs
Reinforce leash walking skills & training cues
“Lauren is honestly the best dog walker out there. I’m so lucky to have her work with Barnaby, she is a gem!”
GROUP DOG WALKS
“Lauren has been walking Mojo for over a year now and we couldn’t be happier! Mojo’s confidence has grown significantly with Lauren’s support. She really ‘gets’ him and understands his unique personality and needs. She’s extremely reliable and communicative - we trust her completely and would absolutely recommend Lauren anytime!”
WE ARE OPENING OUR WAIT LIST FOR GROUP WALK CLIENTS!

Lauren offers so much more than just a walk in the park! Since 2014 she has provided the San Francisco dog community with a truly unique dog walking service:
Lauren welcomes dogs who may be excluded from typical group walks due to circumstances or feelings beyond their control. Some of her pups get overwhelmed by certain noises or environments; some feel scared in large groups or anxious around unknown animals; some simply need more quality care than they could receive from a walker wrangling eight or more dogs at a time.
Lauren’s walking groups never have more than 4 dogs at a time! The small group setting ensures that each pup gets their needs met without feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated. She categorically avoids dog parks and busy streets and takes her groups to calmer areas and trails, limiting contact with other people and dogs.
Each walk includes pickup, drop-off, and at least one hour of paws on the ground time.
Monthly packages start at $840.*
*we require a minimum of 3 walks/week; dogs thrive in predictable situations and we want to minimize interruptions to the group dynamic
