Natural Instincts Dog Walking is committed to providing urban dogs an instinctual experience through socialization and exercise in a natural environment.
Natural Instincts Dog Walking offers a unique experience to the dogs of Toronto. It is instinctual for dogs to travel vast areas in packs; Natural Instincts Dog Walking does its utmost to replicate that experience. Dogs are brought in packs of 6 to Cherry Beach, where they are encouraged to roam free in the forest and frolic in lake Ontario. After an hour of both social and physical exercise the dogs go home happily exhausted.
Natural Instincts Dog Walking has not forgotten about our other furry friends: cats. Natural Instincts Dog Walking offers cat-sitting services; daily visits include TLC time, fresh water and food and cleaning of the litter box.
Natural Instincts Dog Walking is proud to offer its unique and personalized services to its busy professional clientèle. Natural Instincts Dog Walking is committed to providing a loving and balanced environment to its four legged clients and a convenient and trustworthy service to its two legged clients.
Owner | Operator
Hi, I’m Ashleigh Coughlin, I’m the owner and operator of Natural Instincts Dog Walking. I’m a life long animal lover with over 20 years of experience with cats and dogs. In my 20’s, I worked as a night care attendant at an animal hospital, where I was responsible for the care of up to 40 pets through the night. My nightly duties included walking the dogs, providing food and clean water and administering medication to cats and dogs. I have a great love and respect for animals and have always felt that a house is not a home without a pet. I have turned my passion for animals into a rewarding career providing pet services. While your pet is under my care I treat and love them as though they were my own. My furry family includes my yorkie-poo Joey, domestic long hair cat Little and himalayan Henry Higgins. I am fully licensed and insured.
Pack Walk
Up to 6 Dogs are picked up at their home and brought to Cherry Beach for a 1 hour long physical and social excursion. Dogs roam the vast forested area and frolic in Lake Ontario whilst interacting with a variety of other dogs and people. Happily tired dogs are then dropped off at home.
Double Walk
The perfect option for a high-energy dog. A 2 hour-long physical and social excursion to Cherry Beach.
Daycare/Playcare
The daycare dog will be with me from 10am until 4pm. During this time the dog will get the benefit of several hour long romps at Cherry Beach and some snooze time as we drive around picking up other dogs.
Private Walk/Relief Break
For those who prefer their dog have a one on one experience. Dogs are walked on leash in their neighbourhood for 20 or 30 minutes. Relief breaks are ideal for older dogs, whom just need a trip outside to relieve themselves.
