About Strutt Your Mutt

Howdy doggie families,

This is Inez, The Strutt Your Mutt gal!!! I am your professional free-form backcountry trail guide for dogs.

We all love our hounds dearly, and with our busy lives occasionally we need to call a professional dog service to give a helping hand.

This type of pet service is a fantastic job but requires great care and certain skills to manage canines. The bottom line is these pups are your four-legged family members!

I am a Colorado girl at heart, born and raised in a small valley nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. My younger days were full of many wonderful adventures. I was blessed to grow up on my family’s 3000 acre working Guest Ranch.

My upbringing instilled an awe and respect for nature and all her creatures… Dogs were always part of the landscape!

As I journey on in life here in Oregon I am honored to roam the beauty of this wonderful land with such extraordinary furry companions. Moving through the woods with a group of canines is an experience that heightens your senses to a degree that many have forgotten, and with great delight it gives back the gift of intuitive communication.

Dogs are awesome and unique beasts… who demonstrate how to take the world in a loving embrace. And when given the opportunity to run as a “tribe” they rejoin their ancestors, rejoicing in bits of their old souls.

I am grateful to be able to continually expand my knowledge and care of canines by taking classes, chatting with educated dog folk and through a variety of literature. But what I find most fulfilling is just hanging out as “alpha mama” and observing hound behavior while out on the trail. It is a glimpse into a world (I think) we humans secretly admire.

Dogs are profoundly aware. And with all my heart I believe them to be teachers of forgiveness and being present in the moment.

They share this insight with cool wet noses, wiggly bodies, thumping tails, slobbery sticks and balls, grunts, growls, and howls, noses to the ground in hot pursuit, heads out the window, glee in seeing an old buddy or finding a new one, sprints down the road, kisses, flying over sagebrush, nuzzles, thoughtful quiet gazes, a spirit of youthful amazement, peaceful snoozes, forgiving licks, excitable greetings at the front door, mournful expressions as you leave without them, dinner dances, and the list could go on and on!!!

They are truly a precious part of this Planet and are more than exceptional best friends!

Always wishing you inspiration, discovery, and many joy rides on happy tails,

Strutt your mutt conducts itself with top notch professionalism and takes the utmost precautions to ensure the highest quality of safe exercise and care.

For more than 6 years, I have provided passionate and dedicated service. Strutt Your Mutt specializes in 1 and 2 hour free-form backcountry hikes. These are social outings with 4 to 8 dogs attending. There is always great thought and sensitivity given to the combination of dogs on each outing for a happy frolic on the trail!
