Einat, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about both her customers and her employees--and it shows in the quality of their service. Charlie typically had the same walkers at the same time each week. They were all professional, caring, attentive, and TRUE dog lovers! I loved Strut the Pup's daily walk reports and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of while I was at work. On a few occasions when I was working from home, I watched as his regular walker arrived--Charlie would be waiting at the window and greeted them with full-body wags every time. When Charlie's hips started bothering him as he got older, the team helped me adjust his walks so he could continue enjoying his outdoor adventures. Sadly, Charlie has since passed, but I've saved many of the walk-report photos his walkers took (like this one), and they remain some of my favorite pictures of him. Thank you, Einat and team, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie.

My dogs walked with several team members over time, from puppy care daily walks to twice weekly walks as adults. The walkers have all been very kind and worked well with our dogs. I appreciate their updates and photos after each walk. It is very easy to schedule and to modify service as needed based on your schedule. They are responsive, professional, and truly care about their clients. I highly recommend strut the pup and will use this service again.

And Nadine quickly became an integral part of our week. My pup Harper would hear the truck coming and knew it was time for her pack walks with Nadine and her furry friends. An fulfilled, happy girl would return...usually with some final zoomies to show me how much fun she had on her pack. When we added a new pup to our pack at home, Nadine was gracious to begin walks with both Harper & Baker. We loved seeing all the photo updates on the Haven's Hounds Facebook page. Although we've recently moved away, we fondly remember their time with Haven's Hounds and wish we could replicate Nadine in our new town!

She also cares for several of my friends and co-worker's animals as well (she gets recommended A LOT). Radar is a bit kooky, to say the least, and she makes him feel safe while having tons of fun with the other dogs. She writes a little bit about his day every time in his very own journal. She even helped take him to his vet appointments when he needed to go twice a day. She's part of our family and you would be lucky to have her care for your pet. They love her and I do too!!

Seamus runs to the gate delighted to go on his adventures. And comes back exhausted and happy. I found Kevin by bringing Seamus to the park myself and marveled at his skill in managing all the dogs in his pack.

During Covid I increased visits to the park to give myself a break and get Seamus the right level of stimuli so I could focus on working at home. If you are looking for a good service in north Seattle Ballard/Greenwood area I highly recommended High 5.

For example, our puppy used to pull badly on walks, and would also hit his limit quite early on (like, two blocks) and want to return home. He was so keyed up he couldn't even take treats on walks. I couldn't understand how to make progress. Joyce helped us interpret his behavior, and worked through our endless series of walking aids (various harnesses, head halter, prong collar, various lengths and styles of leash..!) until we found an effective combo. After a few weeks of consistent work, we took our first successful walk all the way to the dog park! I am so excited for our dog's continued progress being a good dog out and about in the world. Thank you for helping us, especially when we were really discouraged.

Joyce is an incredible trainer and a wonderful human! Shortly after bringing home my puppy Harper,…read morethere were some biting/herding behaviors that I couldn't manage on my own. During our first session, Joyce taught me the basics about dog's behaviors, my role in the relationship, and the power of positive reinforcement with training. She provides a write up after the first session that I've referred to many times in the last few months. I signed up for additional sessions and it is safe to say that Harper and I are better dogs/humans from our time with Joyce. In ~8 weeks, Joyce trained me how to train my puppy and provide the structure she needs, and taught Harper how to harness her intelligence and curiosity for good. We've both come so far, thank you Joyce! I would highly recommend Joyce to anyone.
