More than just Dog Walking. We provide Small Dog Adventures!
San Francisco offers dogs and owners a wealth of parks, beaches, and trails. Not to mention many dog walkers to choose from. The Art of Dog is dedicated to providing a different kind of dog walking experience. We strive to make dog walking an art form.
Here’s how we do it:
Small Dogs Only
Your dog plays with 5 friends her own size, chosen to match her energy level and personality. The results? Safety and fun!
Carefully Chosen
Hiking Spots
We walk our playgroups in beautiful SF locations, choosing low-trafficked routes to keep small dogs extra safe.
Professional Dog Walkers
We are dog*tec certified dog walkers, canine 1st aid certified, licensed/ bonded/ insured, and meet or exceed GGNRA and SF regulations.
Customer Service Enthusiasts
We enjoy keeping in close contact with our clients through our Facebook page and regular walk reports for your peace of mind.
“Every time our dogs go for a walk with Michelle and Cynthia and the rest of their pack, they return happy and tired! I also feel happy knowing that while our dogs are with them, they are receiving good training as well.”
Erika K., San Francisco
Extra Safety for small dogs
Small dog owners know first-hand the risks of taking their little companions to crowded, fenced-in dog parks. We bring our small dog clients to beautiful, open spots such as Fort Funston, where we keep on the move, guiding our packs on adventures through the safest, most secluded areas, where they can romp and play under close supervision.
And though exercise can’t cure all behavior issues, well-exercised dogs are less likely to misbehave. Is your dog barking, jumping up on people, chewing furniture or leaving accidents? Give The Art of Dog a try.
“Michelle understands dogs and how to deal with dog packs so that all involved have lots of fun. I don’t let just anyone be in charge of my beloved critter. One of the best dog walking services in San Fran.”
Maria G., San Francisco
