Owning a dog is a full-time commitment! They require lots of time, love and attention, and sometimes things happen in life where you are unable to provide that all on your own.
All dogs need some level of physical activity to help them remain physically, mentally and emotionally healthy and to ensure that bad behaviours from boredom are kept at bay.
At Embark Dog Co. we love dogs and we would love to help you with yours. We offer 30 minute and 60 minute walks as frequently or occasionally as suits you.
Their walk location can vary from the streets surrounding their house to the beach or the state forest and the walk focus can vary from high energy expenditure exercise to slowing down for a stimulating sniff session.

Once you send your details to us, we will be in contact within 48 hours to arrange a time to come and meet you and your dog.
At this time we will get to know your dog and ask some questions to see what you are wanting to achieve through their walking sessions.
This varies, with some reasons including:
Whatever your dogs age, fitness level and reason, we are here to help make life a little better for you and your dog.
During our initial meeting, we will go through practical things such as where we will collect your dog from for their walk, where their lead is, whether they have a harness or other walking accessories you typically use on their walks and we will spend time beginning to develop a positive association with your dog by taking them for a short walk where they leave you and come back to you safe and happy.
Some dogs are raring to go and don't look back from our initial meeting and others can be less inclined to walk away with a new face and take some warming up. This is completely fine and we simply slow things down and be patient developing the relationship.
Please reach us at hello@embarkdog.co if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No. It is not necessary that you are home when we come by to walk your dog.
We will discuss accessing your house or yard to collect your dog for their walk if you are not going to be at home and will ensure that your dog is left secure and with water when we bring them home at the end of their walk.
This is optional.
If you have walking accessories you would like us to use, we can. We will discuss where we can find them when we come to collect your dog for their walk. Alternatively, we have our own leads we can use for your dog.
In most cases, yes.
Yes, we do.
The size of the dog is not as important as their temperament and the behaviours they exhibit. Most large dogs are gentle giants and need the exercise of a walk. We will discuss your dogs temperament and behaviours with you at our initial meeting and will be able to assess them further during our walk. If we have any concerns, we will be open about these with you.
We walk dogs every weekday on a regular basis. We do offer weekend walks on occasions.
Please get in touch with your request and we will discuss making it happen.
