Dog Walking with a twist

Sensitive dogs need more than a mindless trot, they need opportunities to connect with their dogginess, move their bodies and activate their minds!

Using the power of mental stimulation, movement work and play, we tap into your dog’s innate curiosity, offering them opportunities to connect with their canine senses and build confidence while exploring the world around them.

Our Private Walks

30-min Enriched Dog Walk

Perfect for smaller breeds, lower-energy pups and dogs who need to take it easy but still need an outlet for their doggy needs, like seniors with limited mobility.

1-hr Enriched Dog Walk

Great for most anxious, fearful or reactive dogs who need help feeling safe, lowering their arousal levels and getting their beans out with a full mind and body workout.

Live-in Pet Sitting
with a twist

Sensitive dogs need more than just someone to fill their bowl—they need
someone who understands their big emotions, routines, and natural instincts!

That’s why our in-home pet sitting service is the perfect solution when
you need to travel but want to keep things calm and familiar for your dog.
By staying in their own environment and sticking to their usual routines, we help reduce stress so your dog can feel safe, comfy, and cared for while you’re away.

Plus, Marina always adds a touch of the Curious Snoots magic:
✨engaging play, enrichment and mental stimulation✨

OUR AWESOME REVIEWS

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

OUR AWESOME REVIEWS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

All dogs need enrichment,
so our services are for all dogs!

But these pups find our services especially beneficial:

Curious Snoots was created with the sensitive dog in mind! There’s nothing we love more than seeing a fearful dog exploring around and discovering how awesome (and safe) life can be.
Our gentle and patient approach creates a safe space for them to be themselves, learn to trust and get curious.
After all, the best way to tackle fear is with curiosity.
If you have a reactive dog we know you are looking for someone who understands reactive behaviour and knows how to keep your pup happy and safe while on the walk.
We have lots of experience avoiding triggers and minimizing rehearsal of reactive behaviours. Our heavy focus on enrichment offers a whole set of tools to play with in order to keep your dog calm and engaged throughout the walk.
Rescue dogs go through a whole life-changing experience that’s easy to overlook from our human experience.
I mean, after all, we’re giving them a new life full of safety, love and lots of toys!
But let’s not forget, this is still a big change they’re going through and change is always stressful.
That’s why recent rescues greatly benefit from our enriched dog walks because we create a space for them to explore their new neighbourhood, taking in all the new smells while building positive experiences in their new environment.
Plus, I know you’re also still discovering who your new dog is, learning about their personality, likes and dislikes, and we LOVE sharing our observations with you! We are all discovering your new dog together!
Think of us as your “get-to-know-my-dog” squad.
Our enriched dog walks are PERFECT for pups who need to take it easy due to age and/or health conditions. Since we’re so focused on enrichment we can easily adapt the walk experience to your dog needs.
Maybe we just do a little pee break and spend the rest of the time indoors doing some nosework or a little recreational training session. Or maybe we do a slow walk with lots of sniffing games along the way.
The options are endless!
