Dog Walking with a Trainer
Structured, Enriching Walks in Pretoria
Our dog walking service is designed to support your dog’s physical exercise, mental enrichment, and ongoing training progress.
Walks are led by Misha, a qualified trainer, and focus on calm, structured movement rather than chaotic pack walking. We prioritise decompression, sniffing, and real-world skill building so your dog benefits from every outing.
Depending on suitability and safety, walks may be solo or carefully matched small groups.

House sitting with a Trainer
When you’re away, we know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and settled. Our house sitting service allows your dog to stay in their own home, surrounded by the smells, spaces, and routines they know best.
House sitting in Pretoria is done by Misha, a qualified trainer, so your dog isn’t just being “looked after”. They’re being cared for by someone who understands behaviour and welfare.
During house sitting, we do our best to:
✔ Stick to your dog’s usual routine
✔ Provide structured walks and enrichment
✔ Reinforce calm behaviours and training where appropriate
✔ Give plenty of attention, supervision, and care
This option works especially well for dogs who don’t cope well in kennels, feel stressed by change, or simply do best in their own environment.
Our goal is simple: to keep your dog comfortable, relaxed, and happy while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands.
Pop-Up Private Park
Our Treat to Train Pop-Up Park runs twice a month on Sundays in Pretoria and offers a safe, secure space for dogs and their humans to explore, train, and have fun together.
This is not a busy public dog park. It’s a controlled environment designed for:
Safe off-leash exploration
Practising recall and focus without outside interruptions
Using agility, scentwork and hoopers equipment at your own pace
Scentwork and enrichment activities
Dogs who benefit from space without unfamiliar dogs or people around
It’s a great option for dogs who feel overwhelmed in busy environments, or for handlers who simply want a secure space to train and play. Only fully vaccinated dogs are permitted to use the space.
Sessions are booked in hourly slots and availability is limited.
If you’d like to book a session, please get in touch to secure your time.

Private Hiking Park
Our Treat to Train Private Hiking Park at Eugene Marais Park in Groenkloof, Pretoria offers dogs and their humans a peaceful, private outdoor space to explore nature together. This is not a busy public dog park or crowded walking trail. It’s a calmer, more controlled environment designed for dogs who benefit from quieter surroundings, more space, and fewer distractions. Many dogs find busy parks, crowded paths, and unpredictable off-leash dogs overwhelming. Our private hiking sessions give dogs the opportunity to slow down, sniff, explore, and enjoy nature in a more relaxed way
The private hiking space is perfect for:
Decompression walks
Reactive dogs
Nervous or sensitive dogs
Sniffy enrichment adventures
Training sessions and confidence building
Dogs who simply enjoy calmer walks in nature
As this is a nature reserve with wildlife and ground nesting birds, all dogs are required to remain ON LEASH at all times. Protecting and respecting the natural environment is incredibly important to us.
Sessions are booked in private 45-minute slots and availability is limited. Your booking means you’ll have the secure hiking space to yourself during your allocated time.
Weekday and weekend bookings are available.
If you’d like to book a session, please get in touch to secure your time..
