Private Walks: Personalized Attention Tailored to Your Pooch's Needs

At Darby's Dogs, we understand that every dog is unique, and some may benefit from one-on-one time and specialized attention. That's why we offer private walks tailored specifically to your furry friend's needs. Whether your dog requires focused training, individualized exercise, or simply enjoys the comfort of a quieter stroll, our private walks provide the perfect solution.

Personalized Attention

During our private walks, your dog becomes the center of our attention. We focus on strengthening their leash walking skills, reinforcing basic commands, and instilling good dog walking etiquette. Our experienced dog walkers will work closely with your pooch, addressing their specific requirements and nurturing their overall well-being.

Customized Routes

With our private walks, you have the flexibility to choose the walking environment that suits your dog best. We can walk your dog around your familiar neighborhood, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure. Alternatively, if you prefer to introduce your pup to new sights and smells, we can explore different locations together. Just let us know your preferences, and we'll customize the route accordingly.

Individualized Exercise

Some dogs thrive in a one-on-one setting, where they can receive undivided attention and exercise at their own pace. Our private walks ensure that your dog receives the appropriate level of physical activity, tailored to their age and energy level. We'll keep them engaged, active, and content throughout the walk.

Training Reinforcement

Private walks provide an ideal opportunity to reinforce training techniques and commands. We will work on reinforcing the behaviors you've been working on, using positive reinforcement methods to encourage good manners and obedience.
