You and your Pooch are in Good Hands
Dogs love to run and so do we…it’s a perfect match! Happy Dog Running Co. strives to make your life easier and improve your relationship with your pup by giving your pooch quality, consistent exercise and giving you peace of mind. Our runners are conscientious, diligent and hardworking people, so you can feel comfortable that we will take care of your furry best friend like they are our own. No matter the size of your dog, we’ll tailor an exercise plan to improve their health and make them happy.
Relationship Building
Dogs are great judges of character. That is why our runners take great effort to form a bond with your pup. If your dog loves the person running with them, they’ll leave you happy and return even happier. And, if they’re happy you will be too!
We don’t switch runners. You’ll see a familiar smiling face when we show up for a scheduled run. We are always smiling because we love your dog and we love what we do.
Safety Always Comes First
Our runners are veteran athletes. They have all had plenty of miles on the roads and trails and are well aware of the potential hazards and how to avoid them.
Your dog will be in good hands when they walk out your door because our runners are not only experienced, but because safety on the run has become part of their nature. Our runners are good people, and visible members of the community — Teachers, police officers, professionals, students, athletes, mothers and fathers.
Hassle-Free Dog Exercise
We will go out of our way to make your dog exercise program as easy as possible for you and your pup. Our runners show up at the scheduled time… on time, and at the designated location, whether that is your home, a park or trailhead, or at your dog sitters location. You will have the phone number of your pup’s runner and they will have yours, so If you ever need to make a last minute change you can give them a call directly. The runners are paid by Happy Dog Running Company so you will never have to worry about doing transactions at your front door. We just show up, make you and your dog happy, and then we are on our way.

The Trial Run
The Trial Run is our first meeting with you and your dog. During this time, we will get to know you, your dog, and your dogs needs. Our specialist will take your pup for their first exercise session! On their return, you will decide if our service is right for you, and discuss a plan. Maybe you need your pup to go on a jog once in a while, or maybe they need 20 miles a week! We will find a program that is right for YOUR dog!
