Does my dog need a Specialized Dog Walk? 

Our Pet Care Specialists are trained to help dogs with issues such as: 

  • Fearful dogs who need extra reassurance and visits to begin to trust new people. They know how to go slow and take the time that your fearful dog needs. 

  • Large, powerful dogs who need to have a Walker who is strong and understands defensive leash handling. 

  • Leash reactive dogs who have outsized reactions to other animals, people or items in the environment and need a Walker who understands how to get your dog to disengage from a stressful stimulus or prevent the dog from going over threshold and react. 

  • Dogs that can be aggressive to stranger pets or people and need an advocate to make sure that there are no unplanned interactions or incidents. 

  • Dogs that have physical concerns that require special care and consideration on a walk. 

  • So much more....

  • Pet Care Specialists working with pets that have behavioral issues are provided with training on Positive Reinforcement methods of training and handling.

What do we need from our Clients? 

  • Since these walks require more skill and familiarity with your dog, please allow for extra time prior to starting regular walks or going on a trip to allow your dog to get used to the walker in all stages, including coming in to the house and harnessing your dog. At the initial consultation we will develop a plan and once we establish a good routine for both the Pet Care Specialist and the Dog, we will create a document that contains all of the agreed upon steps.​

  • Also, please be mindful of the Bite Exclusion on the company insurance which specifies that if your dog has a bite history, company insurance will not cover any bite incidents either on walks or in the worst case, to the walker. You will need to be prepared to cover any out of pocket medical expenses or activate your insurance in these cases.

  • At the initial consultation we will go over equipment and management. Whether we need to have a buffer zone to avoid door dashing and over excitement or use a crate for when you are gone and the Pet Care Specialist enters the home. 

  • We do not use the following: 

    • Shock collars/vibration collars

    • Choke collars

    • Prong collars

    • Leash systems that compress the ribcage or hips.

Seventh Heaven were really key in getting my 2 dogs socialized. Both were rescues with fear issues - the younger one would bark constantly at anyone who came in the house. Except Jenny. Within 1 visit he was giving her kisses and snuggling! Both dogs love their midday walks and when I travel I know they are happy and well cared for.

I highly recommend Seventh Heaven Pet Care. Jenny is very informed and
knowledgeable about pet health and behavior. As a care giver she is
dependable, responsive, patient and kind. Our dog is usually uncomfortable
around strangers, but the first time Jenny came to our house, he walked
right up to her and licked her.

We rescued a Mastiff puppy that was 10 months old and had some behavioral issues that we needed addressed. We thought about a training away from home for 3 weeks and then we found Jenny. She came to our rescue and not only helped us learn how to work with our new puppy but helped our puppy learn to trust and thrive. The change is amazing and her skill working with dogs are impressive. She's awesome, we highly recommend her.

Seventh Heaven dog training really turned my dog and I's relationship around. Prior to working with Seventh Heaven, my 1-year-old Shetland Sheepdogs leash reactivity was getting seriously out of hand. We couldn't even have another dog in sight without excessive barking, snarling, and lunging which also translated to lunging at bikers, runners, and cars. It led to many walks that ended in tears and built anxiety within our relationship. Within one training session with Jenny, my dog's leash reactivity decreased by half. The use of fear-free training that is based on positive reinforcement was the most effective training method for my dog that gave immediate results. With the use of Jenny's personal dogs as training tools and field trips to local dog parks, after only a month I had a completely different relationship with my dog. With continued training and practice I can now feel confident in bringing my dog on new adventures.
