"Can you catch joyrides on wagging tails?"
- Angel Dogs, Allen and Linda Anderson
"Dogs wander in their own universe and
resist being judged according to human standards. We, do justice
to a relationship with a dog when we honor it as it is... a
dog, a creature who, for all we may understand about it, is still
fraught with mystery."
- Mark J. Asher
"The greatest pleasure of a dog is that
you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not
scold you' but he will make a fool of himself also."
- Samuel Butler
"If dogs' prayers were answered bones
would rain from the sky."
- Turkish Proverb
Strutt Your Mutt Services
OFFERING:
• 1-2 HOUR BACKCOUNTRY FREE-FORM HIKES
This is the ultimate
form of exercise for your dog!
They are free to move about in the woods
at their own pace, jumping, sniffing, racing, bounding, or just trotting
along with a wonderful smile on their face!
This is a social outing that is carefully monitored with 4 to 8 dogs
attending.
• 30- MINUTE NEIGHBORHOOD JAUNTS
Cruz'n around in your neighborhood
is a great way to get your dog out and about. For the hound that
is home all week I recommend at least 2 to 3 times a week (all leashed
dogs must be leash friendly). This is an excellent option for a dog who
does not do well in a free form situation and is not compatible with
other animals. Although this can also be a social outing!
This is an outstanding release for youngsters (some restrictions apply)
as well as overly active dogs. This all day adventure gives your dog
plenty of social frolicking in the woods, a siesta break with TLC and
an on-leash stroll. There is no kenneling during this time. Your pup
naps in the safe loving environment of my home... A fantastic option
to help with boredom, chewing, and loneliness.
This service has limited
space available.
A
sleep over is a wonderful way to care for dogs that have difficulties
when left at home or become stressed and unhappy in a kennel situation.
This is ideal for elderly or single social doggies. There is never any
kenneling time. They bring their own bedding so they have their home
smells close to them! Your dog is treated as one of the family with loads
of TLC, free to roam the house and yard. This service includes a 1 hour
hike and a ½ hour on-leash walk along with plenty of social
interaction, but also quiet siesta time. It is an awesome loving way
to care for your animal because they are given the attention and care
they need to feel safe and enjoy themselves during the time while you
are away!
This
service has limited space available.

A Note From Inez, Strutt Your Mutt Owner,
Although I provide limited out
of town care exclusively for my clients I also provide a trustworthy
referral service to a network of individuals that I am connected with
that hold a high standard of Pet Care protocol.
This service is free of charge and ensures that you find the right person
and service. I am devoted to offering the safest most loving options
for your animal and home while you are away.
All exercising services and out of town care require an initial 45 min free consultation. This time gives the opportunity to connect and ensure this is the right option for you and your doggie. In addition it allows me to gather important information from you so I can act appropriately when needed.
All dogs on free form backcountry hikes must have recall and be well socialized. Collars and id tags should always be on dogs at all outings. Certain dogs may be equipped with bells for safety and for sound sighting. Basic vocal commands are used throughout hikes along with a calling whistle that I use to regroup. Praise is given enthusiastically throughout our adventures... This is a vital component to building a kinship with the pups. It also spreads happiness and that's the kind of vibe we want on the trail!!!
New dogs are slowly introduced into the "Tribe," and a test outing may be necessary to insure that this is the right service for your 4-legged kido.
