We welcome dogs of all breeds, temperaments, physical abilities and training levels and provide a complimentary meet and greet to discuss your dog's individual needs. We believe in a force-free approach to dog handling and will be happy to discuss any training plans or management techniques you employ and use them when out with your dog to maintain consistency.

I have sent many of my clients to Andrew. They appreciate his safety conscious mind, how much he…read morecares about their dogs, and that their dogs come home not only better trained, but also exhausted.

I initially started taking my dog Obi-Wags Kenobi to the Woofer Walker daycare for some…read moresocialization since he is an "only dog." He is anxious, and there were times he did not play appropriately with smaller dogs (he had too much energy, and he does not always recognize/respond to the other dog's body language of "please give me space." They gave me great feedback on how he was doing, but his trainer and I decided that daycare for my anxious dog would not let him be "his best self." I then transitioned him to their Woofer Walker Munchkin March pack walks, which is a much better fit for him. He gets to socialize with the other dogs in the pack walk, run himself silly, and sniff everything (animate and inanimate). Obi would walk over my dead body to get to Woofer Walker Judy! He is so excited when it is Woofer Walker day that he waits by the front door, staring at it until he hears the van pull up, and then loses his mind. Judy is very patient with his excitement. They let me know which days would be the best fit for him regarding the other dogs' personalities and play styles, so he goes every Tuesday and Thursday. They also post videos of some of the highlights of the walks and post pictures - it is the highlight of our evening to watch the videos! I've downloaded some of the images since they are great shots!

As I met more people, I had several people tell me about Woofer Walkers and decided to try them. My dog is always excited to go to daycare when we arrive. He loves so many of the staff and I always feel like Ali'i is in good hands. There were a couple of times when I had emergencies come up and the crew was always ready to receive Ali'i... they are always patient and understanding when things come up. One of the best places I STILL take Ali'i when I have to go away for the week or even just a day in daycare. Thanks to Bella, Justin, and crew for keeping our pups safe!

Hi Donna, it sounds like you have a great rapport with dogs. But I'm the father of three that you…read moreharassed on the beach today for being here without a dog. We sit where we sit on the beach in Cadboro Bay because when my partner shows up with her dog we want her to be able to join us. The dogs off leash don't bother us unless they're rooting through our stuff, and we don't bother them. My kids were pretty upset because they thought that we weren't allowed to sit in the same spot we always sit on the beach. For your reference this isn't a dog beach, it's a public frontage where dogs are permitted, under effective control or on a leash. We would be very happy to refer our friends to your business, if you stop harassing us on the beach. The image attached is from the Saanich Municipal Website. You mentioned this was one of the only parks people could bring their dogs. In fact of the 170 public parks in Saanich, only 6 have any restrictions.

She picked up the phone right away and listened to my situation and managed to squeeze me in the same day despite her busy schedule. When she arrived I was very impressed by her calm, confident energy and her warm smile put me at ease right away. She brought a stack of study notes for me and for the first 30 minutes or so we sat down while we talked and got the dog familiarized with Donna. After the 30 minutes was over, we spent the rest of the time training. I noticed that she is all about positive reinforcement, and does NOT use any form of punishment. I feel like Donna went the extra mile because I did not feel like just another client..having her over was like having a friend. I was not rushed and even stayed to answer my questions. I was contacted a week later or so to follow up on my dog's progress. Not only is she fabulous with dogs but she also has great interpersonal skills. After the session was over she never mentioned about booking more sessions with her;Instead she encouraged me to read the notes she gave me. Thank you so much- it was lovely meeting her 2 lovely dogs Blossom and Angus as well.
