Creature Comforts Daily and Semi-Daily Dog Walks

My primary focus with my pet sitting business, Creature Comforts, is Daily and Semi-Daily dog exercise options. I love the continued relationship with both the clients and their dogs. If I were left to my own devices with unlimited funding I feel certain that I would have a lot more than the three dogs I currently call my own ;-)

While I call all the midday group visits “walks” we mix it up quite a bit. We often play ball…

…or have a Kool Dogz treat day…

…or water play days in Abby and Heidi’s yard (their dad is the GREATEST and lets us use his huge yard for playtime - my own personal dog park!)…

…or go for a walk in Kirklevington Park…

…or play in the creek at Shilito Park.

Not every dog is on the schedule every day and sometimes I don’t pull everyone together for a group activity and instead walk each clients’ pet(s) individually. I think the dogs enjoy the slight fluctuations in the schedule and rotations of what dogs are available to play as I add new clients and former clients move from my service area.

But, as you saw, we do do a fair amount of actual walking!

Fun with Dogs

by Creature Comforts

Since 1992, through my pet sitting business Creature Comforts, I have been providing pet care solutions tailored to individual animal needs in Lexington, Kentucky including vacation care, daily dog exercise options and specialized care for flighted parrots. I am now expanding that to fun, free group outings in local Lexington parks. Our third Fun With Dogs Meetup is currently To Be Determined

Please join us for a fun clicker training workshop focusing on how to clicker train a retrieve so your dog will bring BACK that ball! We will start with the basics of clicker training and then move on to the more advanced things so we will be working at all levels so if you have never used a clicker or if you use one daily hopefully you will still get something out of this little workshop!

I believe we will definitely play at least one round of the ever popular Training Game to give the dogs a break and sharpen our own training skills!

My emphasis is on using positive reinforcement and non-corrective based techniques to solve the basic problems people have with their dogs. Or rather, the problems dogs have with their people ;-)

Upcoming Fun With Dogs activities:

Basics of Clicker Training
Shape your dog to bring back the ball (often called an inductive or inducive retrieve)
Learn how to teach your dog to play casual (as opposed to competition) frisbee (tm)
Recall!!!

There is a whole world of fun things to do with our dogs!

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, requests or questions

Looking forward to walking with you :-)
