About Us
Radiance from the inside out! We believe in helping all our canine clients thrive and live their best lives. We go a step above in our standard of care by providing fully engaged walks, snuggles, playtime, dog groups, agility and adventure packages.
Our name comes from our core belief in the power of "Paw"sitive reinforcement. We believe this style of reinforcement is the gold standard of care for our furry clients, allowing them to gain confidence on solo walks, playtime with other dogs and on adventures.
We believe in the highest standard of care for our furry clients, catering walks and excursions to each dog's specific needs..
Kat Robinson
Co-Owner and Lead Dog Specialist
I have worked professionally with dogs for over a decade and have a vast working knowledge of disposition and exercise requirement by breed. I guarantee the highest standard of love, care and engagement for your beloved pet by treating them as if they were my own and striving to provide deeper enrichment wherever possible. I give your dog my full attention on walks, snuggles, adventures or whatever we happen to be up to that day. I guarantee pet-centric care, customizing walking routes and activities based on what I feel would benefit your dog the most. For example, some of the working breeds are better able to maintain focus on walks if they are trained to do tasks such as carrying a stick. Some high-intelligence breeds need a variety of walking routes to maintain focus or require a bit of agility beforehand to “mellow” them out enough to enjoy a long walk.
As an outdoorsy person, I love long hikes in all seasons, but thrive in cold weather. My favourite service to provide is the half day trail hike! I am also able to accommodate small breeds and senior dogs for this service they wouldn’t typically be able to do by carrying them in my pet-safe hiking rucksack and letting them feel the wind in their fur!
I am also an all around animal lover, with husbandry experience in small mammals such as hamsters, rats and rabbits.
Nowadays, my two Daschunds keep me snuggling at home when not out with the best clients in the whole world!

I grew up in rural Southwestern Ontario, where farm dogs are a necessity of life and work. I would spend most of my time with our family’s farm dog (Border Collie X German Shepard), a highly intelligent girl who needed a job to do and substantial physical exercise. From an early age, I have trained and worked along side these highly intelligent and motivated breeds. Over the years, I have developed different engaging games to play with these breeds. I offer interactive play sessions as well as walks, and am able to teach your pet a variation of tag, obstacle courses, races, soccer, dirt track and agility.
In recent years, I have gained experience with senior pets, and dogs with disabilities. I work closely with pets who are experiencing sensory issues (such as partial or total blindness, hearing loss) to help them feel safe and navigate their environment as smoothly as possible. Please inquire about leash commands for dogs with disabilities. I find it very engaging and rewarding to create unique ways for every dog to enjoy playtime!
Adventuring with your dog is always rewarding as they all have diverse interests and natural abilities. I am extremely passionate about working breeds and dogs that require high mental stimulation. I enjoy taking these highly motivated dogs on engaging hikes, agility work and introducing them to various puzzle challenges.
I look forward to meeting your pet!
