why

small club walks provide a unique low pressure situation where your dog can play with other dogs his/her own size, get exercise, and end up tired out.  being a member of a small club walking group allows your dog to be him/herself. small dogs are real dogs – they need to walk and run, hunt and chase, sniff around and bask in the sun. they need the mental stimulation of outdoor adventures as much as the shepherd next door.

mental and physical exercise are key to a happy and healthy dog-life. this alone is reason to join small club. in addition, your small dog will be a better housemate for you after getting exercise and socializing with his or her peers. it is now common knowledge that issues with barking, anxiety, unruly behavior or just the blues can be improved with sufficient exercise and socialization. a happy dog means a happy human.

what…are your rates?

$32 per dog per walk.
discounts can apply to: multiple dog households, dogs who walk with small club full time, low-income owners, dogs who bring in a neighbor dog to join their group, and other special situations. just ask!

when

small club’s dog walks happen monday through friday between 9am and 6pm. (includes pick up and drop off)

all groups spend an entire hour walking on trails and playing in fields. the total time your dog is out of the house depends on who else we are picking up that day and which park we are driving to.

where

our walking locations are secluded areas of local parks free from the stresses of large dogs and vehicle traffic. we choose areas that are good for walking off-leash or learning to be off-leash. we don’t like to publicize our favorite spots or else they won’t remain secluded much longer (…but we’ll share our secrets with club members!)
