Dog Exercise Services
Everyone knows a tired dog is a well behaved dog and Barking Bubz agrees! BB preaches exercise during every dog training session, but we understand you have busy lives and may be unable to exercise your pup every day. That's where we come in! Schedule one of our exercise services so we can wear out your pup for you! During these sessions, your pup will get individualized focus on play, socialization, and burning of energy.
ENHANCED DOG WALKING
Our Enhanced Dog Walking service is perfect for that energetic pup or a heavy puller. We teach your dogs loose leash manners and eye contact while walking on leash to create the perfect walker! We offer sessions in 30 minute segments. Double the session for more time! This service is provided without the owner present as an enriched form of exercise. If you would like to be involved in the leash manners training, please schedule our Elite In-Home Dog Training service. A free consultation is required before the first session.
Check out our Basic Dog Walk Pack, Intermediate Walker, and Expert Dog Walk Pack. The Basic Dog Walk Pack covers the introductory information for your pup's new leash manners. The Intermediate Walker package will help your dog maintain appropriate leash manners. The Expert Dog Walk Pack will fully solidify your pup's leash manners training, creating the perfect walker.
LURE COURSE RACING
Do you have a high energy crazy pupper? This is the service for you! Lure coursing involves a dog (or multiple) chasing after a flag or fuzzy. It is designed to initiate the dog's natural instinct to chase prey (rabbits, squirrels, etc.). Since it initiates this natural instinct we can also use it as a training tool to teach the dog to leave prey and stop pulling their owners over to chase a squirrel. We offer sessions in 30 minute segments. This service cannot extend past 30 minutes for the safety of the pet.
This service can be performed with the owner present as a dog training course or without the owner present as an enriched form of exercise. A free consultation is required before the first session.
CITY BIKEJORING
Do you want to be involved in your dog's exercise but walking isn't cutting it? Give bikejoring a try! In this two part course, we cover how to safely bike with your dog, the tools you will need, and the commands to use. We offer sessions in 45 minute segments. Double the session for more time! This service can be performed with the owner present as a dog training course or without the owner present as an enriched form of exercise. If you plan to participate, please have a bicycle or large tired scooter available. You must be stable while in motion on the bike to participate. This service may require some training focusing on leave it and commands related to directions. A free consultation is required before the first session.
TREADMILL TRAINING
We all know how brutal the winters and the summers can be in Colorado. Barking Bubz is proud to provide your pup an outlet during those frigid and extreme heat weeks. The best part? We provide a mobile treadmill for the session! Limited to small to medium breeds unless you have a large treadmill. Sessions are 30 minutes in length. Double the session for more time! Free phone consultation required before scheduling
PACK WALK
Our Pack Walks are on a revolving schedule based of participation. Many owners have the same goal of teaching their dog to ignore other dogs. In a regular group walk, your pup would be given regulated access to all the other dogs in the Barking Bubz program. During this guided get together, you will work with your pup on your personal goals, while walking with other owners and their dogs' in training. Vanessa will walk through the group and give advice to help you work through any problems. This will only be available if at least 3 people are willing to participate at a designated park and time. Vanessa will contact you when we have enough people for a date and location. Please fill out this FORM if you are interested in participating!
Dog Hikes
Let us take your pup on an exhaustive adventure with Barking Bubz! We understand that dogs need exercise to be happy and healthy. Our hiking services allow your furry friend to be both mentally and physically exhausted. While you work or enjoy a day to yourself, we will hike your pup through the mountains or prairie trails bringing home a tired and content Bubz. We will escort your pup to the trails, ensuring a dun and adventurous hike lasting approximately 5 hours. Once your pups is thoroughly worn out, we will return them home to you. Before the hike, a health check will be conducted to ensure the trails are safe for them.
