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.

What our clients say:

“Amazing, safe place for dogs that just want to run and play, especially those who don’t otherwise have the opportunity to be off leash. There are so many fun games and obstacles, ensuring that not only the dogs’ physical needs are met, but their minds are kept busy too. My dogs absolutely loved it, and I’ll definitely be taking them there again and again!”

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, nervous or sensitive dogs

• Sniffy enrichment adventures

• Training sessions and confidence building

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.

What our clients say:

“The short hike is perfect for sniffing and exploring without worrying about other dogs or people rushing up to your dog. Happy dogs all around! On-leash only though so bring a longer lead if you have one.”
