I love my dog Sonni. As a German shepherd mix he requires a ton of exercise. At the time, I was working full time and a full time student. Sonni’s behavior was nothing abnormal of a high energy dog. He jumped, barked, and seemed very restless. In 2007 I met Chris on a hike. We began to chat about our dogs and he explained to me the importance of daily exercise and stimulation. After some time he offered to take Sonni on hikes with him while I was at work, and he promised I would see a difference in his behavior when we were home together. Three times a week Chris took Sonni either to Harriman State park, around the neighborhood, or the local park in my town. Sometimes they would be gone for hours. Immediately I noticed a change in Sonni. He barely jumped, and he didn’t seem as anxious. In fact, when we were home he was kind of a couch potato. When I did have the opportunity to go hiking, he was himself again, bubbly, full of life and energy. I have relied on and trusted Chris with taking care of my best friend. With his help, he was able to bring out the best in Sonni when he’s home with me, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

I have nothing but positive things to say about The Hiking Hound. I have used them numerous times while away for a long weekend and also when I am in a bind working long hours. I can count on them to be there for my dog Banjo. Banjo gets so excited when he sees the owner, Chris. It makes me feel so comfortable to know my dog is in good hands when I cant be there. Banjo has fun on the hikes or walks, whichever it is that day and comes back happy and content. Thanks again Hiking Hound!

The truth is - life is busy. That doesn't mean we don't have any time for

our fuzzy friends - it just means some of us need The Hiking Hounds help!

Casey is so happy to see Chris when he comes to take her for her routine

walks. She's doing "the happy dance" before he even gets to our front door!

I'm happy she's happy and getting the activity she deserves. I highly

recommend the services The Hiking Hound offers and if I thanked Chris 100

times it wouldn't be enough!
