Northern Virginia's Premier
Dog WALKING Service
With personalized attention from their favorite HMR walker, your pup gets the quality time they crave, complete with positive reinforcement to encourage the best behavior. But it’s not just the dogs who benefit—owners can rest easy knowing their furry friends are in capable hands.
Kindness is at the heart of everything we do—from our interactions with clients, their dogs, to conversations with those promoting training methods we may not agree with. Join us as we build a community grounded in empathy and respect.
Kindess
We strive to collaborate closely with you, your family, and other professionals like veterinarians, groomers, and pet sitters when appropriate. We're eager to share insights and brainstorm with everyone involved in your dog’s well-being.
Teamwork
We aim to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, pups and people. Our goal is to build connections and foster a community centered around dog training, starting with a diverse team and ending with a robust client base.
Inclusivity
Maintaining our certified trainer status means fulfilling ongoing education requirements, which we gladly do as part of our commitment to continuous growth. This dedication ensures we're always learning and improving.

My passion for training started in 2002 with my first Labrador Retriever, Piper. Since then, I've trained multiple Labs through various life stages, including raising puppies alongside my own children. We offer training solutions for every lifestyle and situation. I'm particularly skilled in loose leash walking and love coaching humans to bond with their pups through training! In November 2023, I became a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, highlighting my commitment to positive, effective training methods.
