Meet Adrienne (AJ)
Hi! My Name is Adrienne (AJ) and I love your dog!
Well… I love all animals, but, I know dogs, and we have a pretty cool relationship.
I’ve grown up with dogs, I study dogs, I train and I walk dogs.
Along with this, I am also a trained Yoga Instructor and Holistic Nutritionist. I bring the values and skills from both these modalities to my relationship with dogs in my care.
I look at the whole dog. The individual.
9 years ago, I began my journey walking dogs with an independent walker and by 2020, I was ready to go out alone, learn more and start my own business in Toronto.
Formerly, ‘Midtown Mutts’ I have recently relocated to Durham region and have renamed my business ‘Trail Tails’. I specialise in off leash adventure hikes in designated off leash parks around Durham.
Currently, I am studying for my instructing certification at The Toronto Humane Society.
I continue my education by attending seminars, conferences, shadowing certified trainers and keeping up with current research and reading material that supports positive, force free dog handling.
Right now I am looking for people who need help with their dogs, whether it be through walking, training or boarding.
Let me help you find the patience that dogs teach us and the understanding they need.
When you tap into yourself and stillness, dogs recognise it and will gladly learn what you are asking of them.
I love sharing my knowledge on how to build a relationship with your dog so he/she can feel confident in their choices and feel so connected to you that the dog years run by smoothly.
