reservoir doggies, est 2013
Family-owned and operated, Reservoir Doggies was founded out of love and compassion for the many dogs that found their home in Echo Park and Silverlake in Los Angeles. In 2021 Reservoir Doggies began dog walking in South Minneapolis, Edina and Linden Hills. We provide personalized and trustworthy care for your dogs at competitive pricing.
WHAT SETS US APART?
We offer GROUP HIKES + WALKS (NO MORE THAN 5 DOGS)
We pick up + drop off your dog in a calm car environment
Dogs are grouped based on several factors to ensure positive socialization and ongoing training/habits
Dogs on hour group hikes are gone 1-2 hours
We honor exercise, consistency, respect + socialization in a structured environment w/ strong leadership. Dogs are given different terrains + environments/neighborhoods as much as possible for extra stimulation and exposure. Ongoing training is part of our philosophy.
Why choose us over hours at Doggy Daycare? While daycare can work for some dogs, it does not work for many! Overstimulation and stress of a busy facility can be overwhelming for most dogs - especially those with anxiety/nervous energy and those who are naturally high-strung, newer rescues, etc. Undesirable behaviors may be picked up. Unstructured physical activity.
Structured walking with a strong human leader and other healthy dogs in a natural environment promotes healthy social habits, positive mental stimulation and positive exercise routines. Reservoir Doggies gives personalized care to each of our clients and learns very quickly about each dog’s personality, needs and overall vibe! This means each dog can be the best version of THEMSELVES while learning the best behaviors from fellow pack mates. They DO develop close friendships in group!
We require a 2 walk per-week minimum for new clients.
our philosophy
THIS ISN’T JUST A WALK.
Holistic We treat each DOG as a unique whole: mind, body, spirit. We tailor or groups to set each dog up for success and positive growth. We listen closely to each dog!
Health via structured socialization — ongoing training and positive reinforcement are practiced fully with all of our clients. If dogs are not exposed to a variety of people, animals, places, terrains, objects and sounds on a regular basis, they can develop fear of new things or changes in their routine. This is especially important with new rescues and puppies.
Movement with a healthy group of dogs (maximum of 5 dogs) and strong human leadership on a regular basis helps build confidence and maintain a sensory routine that is so important. Dogs learn from each other and they learn from us. Exercise releases stress and energy, and is needed every day for dogs to have a healthy, balanced life. This structured movement will carry over into all parts of your dog’s life!
