How Your Dog Benefits from Exercise
Dog Runs
Dog Walks
Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions. It also promotes cardiovascular health by improving circulation and heart function. Moreover, engaging in physical activities can strengthen muscles and increase flexibility, which is vital for preventing injuries. Regular exercise contributes to better mental health by relieving anxiety and boredom, as it provides stimulation and social interaction. Following structured activity can also help deter destructive behavior in the home. Additionally, it aids in digestion and can improve skin and coat condition. Overall, incorporating consistent physical activity not only keeps dogs fit but also fosters a happier, more balanced lifestyle.
Runs are done with the handler on a motorized skateboard that has speed and braking controlled by the rider's body position. A top speed of around 20 mph may be achieved which is a quick jog for bigger dogs, and top speed for some smaller dogs.
Two leashes will be attached to the dog running. One will be a handheld flat nylon leash leading to a martingale collar on the dog's neck. The second will be a safety bungee leash attaching the rider's hip to the harness on the dog. It will act as a tether between the rider and animal as an extra measure for control.
Each dog wishing to participate in this service must go through an evaluating walk on foot with their rider that clarifies their level of leash training, any reactivity issues towards other dogs/people/cars or the skateboard itself, and ease of being redirected.
Dog walks are a great way to keep your furry friend moving and their mind busy. Whether your career keeps you too busy and a regular walking schedule needs to be created, or maybe an injury has you on the couch for a few days, or maybe your dog is reactive and just to strong or difficult to walk, we can help.
Tails Up Pups walks with martingale collars or harnesses. If you don't have one that's ok, we have extras and think it's polite to share!
So long as your dog is not reactive to a handler, we can get them the physical motion and mental stimulation they need. Multiple dog house holds may be accommodated also with a small fee per additional animal. Reactive dogs MAY also incur and additional charge.

If your dog is older, or a couch potato, or just will be home alone for a few hours while the family is away for an event, we can swing by, say hello, let Fido out, check the food dish and water bowl, and have a game of tug or read them a bedtime story!
Meet Brodie. He's a 2 year old Great Dane mix. Brodie weighs 100 pounds and he makes friends with all sizes of dogs. He's polite, plays fair, and respects corrections if given. Let us know if you and your pup are interested in making a new friend. Brodie likes to play tug, wrestle, or just hang out and chew bones together. If your dog is not social with other dogs, we offer human interaction including playtime, games, and a 20 minute walk.

Field Trips!
Once your dog is leash trained and well socialized, you can sign them up for field trips! We go to restaurants, parks, hiking, ball games, and if you have any ideas we can talk about them too! We want your dog to know us well before we take them out for a day trip, so we require a two-week walking history with them before we go out. The more trained your dog is, the more possibilities for different field trips they'll have.
Total cost are based upon mileage, duration, and other charges incurred. Trips include treats and photos and videos so you can see how much fun they had!
