After over a decade of owning an Irish Wolfhound, Celene, the founder of "Take Your Sniffs Dog Walking" discovered the magic of "sniffari" style walks. Dogs that live in the city are exposed to a lot more noise and stress and need enriched long leash walks to decompress with training sprinkles in for fun.

This style of dog walking is different in that you are tuning in to what direction your dog prefers and when they want to stop and smell the roses.  It is not about getting the walk done, but about taking the walk sniff by sniff.  The "sniffari" walk is mostly directed by the dog and should be leisurely and at the dog's pace. Leash handling skills can cause a lot of stress for dogs which is why leash reactivity is so common.

Celene is now a positive reinforcement certified dog trainer with extensive nutrition knowledge mentoring under a veteran dog behaviourist consultant, Lisa Davies at Pawsitively Canine.  She truly is passionate about all things "dog" most notably behaviour, exercise and nutrition. Starting "Take Your Sniffs Dog Walking" has been a life long passion fulfilled.  A bucket list job that doesn't feel like a job!

 

Celene feels it is important to educate clients about connection on walks and creating outlets for dogs that have anxiety with enrichment, consistency, the right equipment and training. We are no longer accepting drop-in clients at this time and our sniffaris have limited spots available.  Weekends and holidays will be considered upon request schedule permitting.  There is a $20 surcharge for all weekends and statutory holidays walks and training sessions.
