How Do I Get Started?
We would LOVE to hear from you! Head over to HERE and learn about our 3 easy steps for your dog(s) to become Rain City Dog!
Do you give my dog treats?
Yes! this is our way to help with positive training. an example would be if we see a dog too far away we call them back to us. ask them to sit and give them a treat for great listening! We know some dogs have allergies, that why we stay away from basic protein treats like chicken and go with more different proteins (crickets, bison, duck)
How will I know how the walk went?
After each service is completed, your walker will send you an update by a message within our app and you will be informed in particular about bathroom activities, and how your dog was acting throughout the walk. Pictures are included too!
Will my dog be walked off leash?
We pride ourselves on safety and all walks will initially be on-leash. This allows us to learn your dog’s personality, read their body language, work on training adherence and avoid any unexpected situations such as squirrels, loose dogs or other triggers. Once we have established a good relationship with your dog and have assessed his recall response we can work towards off-leash hikes. Private walks are on-leash unless otherwise discussed with you.
How does Rain City Dogs get access to my home?
You can provide us with a copy of your key(s) or you may choose to place your key(s) in a secret predetermined location for us to access.
How long are your walks?
Our Adventure Hikes are 2.5 to 3 Hours Long (not including travel time) we pride ourselves in having long walks to make sure your dog is tired!
Our Private Walks range from 30, 45 and 60 minute walks
Will my dog get dirty on a walk?
ABSOLUTELY! We walk rain or shine and most dogs love to get dirty. We ask that you keep a towel handy so that we can dry your dog before we let them into your home. We will do our very best to clean and dry your dog but there is a limit as to how much time we can spend on each dog. We are happy to leave your dog in a designated area if you wish – please just let us know.
What is your cancellation policy?
Advanced notice is always preferred, however you can still cancel up to 24 hours in advance without penalty. A full fee will be charged to you if cancelled afterwards. In emergency situations there are exceptions.
What is "training reinforcement"?
It's a clever way of saying we aren't certified trainers. However, if you are working with a trainer, we will join a session, or speak with them, in order to emulate the important training regiment for your dog. If you do not have a trainer, we are happy to hear from you about what we should do!
Does Rain City Dogs Do Pick Up & Drop offs? and what time will my dog be picked up and dropped off?
For Group Walks Absolutely we do! and pick up and drop off times vary depending on the route we need to pick up the dogs for the day. but we start our day at 9:30 AM and last dog is normally dropped off around 4:00 PM.
