We specialize in scheduled, recurring walks to provide consistency for your dog. While we don't offer ad-hoc walks, our existing customers can request extra walks, subject to availability. Each dog is scheduled for a minimum of 2 walks per week on set days and times. This approach ensures all dogs maintain their recall training, structure, and socialization skills. While this means less flexibility, it guarantees your dog's spot each week, ensuring reliable and consistent care.

Urban life often leads us to treat dogs as solitary creatures, limiting their interaction with other dogs due to fears of misbehavior or embarrassment. However, this approach can inadvertently cause problems like anxiety, leash reactivity, or antisocial behavior. Dogs, by nature, crave interaction with their species.

This is where our pack walks come in. We understand that dogs are pack animals and flourish when they bond with fellow canines. In our pack walks, dogs learn to trust and respect their peers, understanding each other's boundaries and limitations. This natural socialization allows them to be true to their instincts - they learn to play and interact appropriately without constant human intervention. We guide them away from unwanted behaviors and encourage good manners, but importantly, we let them be dogs.

Absolutely! If your dog struggles with recall, our dog walkers are equipped to help. We use Tractive Trackers and long training lines to safely teach them to come when called, rewarding their progress with treats they can't resist. Safety is our top priority, and while we're proud to say we've never lost a dog in our 10 years of service, we always have a plan B. Each dog wears a Tractive tracker during walks, so we always know exactly where they are.

At this time, we exclusively offer group walks. We're committed to meeting the social needs of dogs, which we believe is best achieved through interaction with other friendly canines. Our group walks are designed to help your dog thrive in a social setting and develop important social skills alongside their furry friends.

A significant 90% of undesirable dog behaviors stem from insufficient exercise and lack of structure. Common signs like barking, whining, destructiveness, and attention-seeking can often indicate pent-up energy. At Hound Crew, our approach tackles these issues head-on. Through a blend of structured exercise, engaging playtime, recall training, and carefully supervised socialization, we aim to channel this energy positively. Our mission is to nurture each dog's best qualities, ensuring they become happy, healthy, and well-balanced canine companions – just as you'd wish for them.
