Strut The Pup

Strut the Pup was started in 2009 right here in Seattle with one goal in mind: provide top-quality, reliable and professional pet care services to Western Washington pet owners who consider their pets an important and integral part of their family. We pride ourselves on developing personal relationships with our clients and their pets.

We don't treat the walks as just a potty break outdoors. While outside, we regularly work on on-leash behavior, basic commands, and good walking manners. Regular dog walking improves your dog's health and well-being. Among other things, walking your dog regularly familiarizes them with their surroundings and will increase their comfort and behavior at home.

Your pup will join an experienced Strut The Pup pack leader and a small pack of furry friends for an hour-long adventure at the off-leash park. Great for dogs with extra energy that love to play fetch and swim! We don't treat the park as simply a wild play area for our pack members.

While at the park, we regularly work on off-leash recall, closely monitor all pack members' behavior AT ALL TIMES, and even institute timeouts (on-leash time with the Pack Leader) when necessary.We have fun, but maintaining proper behavior of our pack is our number one priority. Our motto for the park is "positive play."

Included in the overnight stay is an evening walk, a potty outing before bedtime, and a morning walk before leaving. Our in-home overnight sitting for your pets has our care giver spend the night at your home, allowing for quality time with your pet and a real presence at your home.

During the stay and before leaving, we'll also perform a general home check, pick up newspapers and mail, change lighting around the house, and ensure all doors and windows are locked and secure.One night stay is from 7:00PM to 7:00AM the following morning. Stay includes an evening walk, potty outing before bedtime, and a morning walk before leaving.

Be it a puppy or an adult, we offer one-on-one, in-home behavior and obedience training with a licensed canine behaviorist. We focus on positive, reward-based training with the understanding that different dogs require different training methods. That is why we develop custom training programs for every obedience and behavior training client; training plans are goal and breed-specific with a focus on human-canine interaction.
