Our Dog Walking Services
Our team of dog lovers have extensive experience in handling dogs of all breeds and needs for regular walks.
Unlike other dog walking companies, we only ever walk dogs in small, consistent groups, giving each the care and attention they deserve.
All of our vehicles are fully climate controlled and are specially adapted for safe, comfortable transport of your dog by our team of fully trained drivers.
We walk the same small groups of dogs with the same walkers at the same time-slot each do so your dog has a consistent and safe routine.
Obedience. Socialization. Behavior Management.
TRAINING
If you are seeking to create a better relationship with your dog and prefer a more hands-on approach in your dog’s training, then training with The Good Shepards is the solution for you!
Our team will conduct an initial assessment and develop a customized training program catered specifically to you and your beloved pet. This program will include the training that your dog needs: obedience, specific commands, socialization, training to prevent bad habits, and behavior modification. Our professional dog trainers will give you the skills and personal guidance you need to create a better relationship between you and your furry friend.

Roger
We are so thankful to be part of The Good Shepards family! Roger has been in the loving/fun environment for a couple of months. Life is so much better for all of us now. Roger is going to be a better dog and I will be a better parent for having them in our lives.
Thank you to Isabella, Stacie and the guys!!!

Charlie
Charlie LOVES Good Shepards and so do we. We feel so fortunate to have found Stacie, Isabella and the entire team. Our doodle can be a little high maintenance, but everyone loves him and takes such great care of him when he boards. We’ve seen huge improvements in his social behavior around other dogs since he started pack walking. Please see the attached video as Charlie sees the van pull up. This video says it all! Thank you for loving and caring for Charlie as you would your own❤️
Lynn Murray
Nugget
We feel so lucky that we found TGS. Isabella and her team are beyond amazing. Nugget’s favorite day is pack walk day and he is just a bundle of joy when the team come to pick him up. He loves being a part of the TGS family, and we love the total peace of mind we have when he spends time with them, be it boarding, pack walking or being part of the foundation team helping the community. We know that he is always feeling all the love, fun and kindness from every member of the team. I cannot recommend them enough!!!!

Parker Lyn
Being a first time dog mom I was picky and nervous with who I left my Parker Lyn with. The Good Shepard as have been like leaving her with family. She loves going on her pack walks and doesn’t even say bye when she’s dropped off for boarding cause she knows she’s going to t
Stacey Dahlman
Finley
TGS are Finley’s extended family and they treat him like one of their own even with all of his weird quirks!! Isabella, Stacie and “the boys” all give Finn the royal treatment!! And in turn give me peace of mind!! I am lucky enough to be a small part of their foundation and to watch them truly impact lives! 🐾❤️

Bauer
The Good Shepards have been such a lifesaver for us and our dog Bauer. It’s been so easy to schedule walks, daycare, and boarding (especially with our hectic schedules), and the communication is great. We love getting pictures and updates from our dog’s day! Bauer clearly loves Isabella and the team, and he gets so excited when he sees the Good Shepards van coming to pick him up! It is very clear that Isabella and her team are responsible, caring dog lovers and we trust them with our dog completely. Highly recommend the Good Shepards!!

Sam
Stacie, Isabella, and team are experts in the dog training, walking, and boarding industry. Their attention to each dog, each pet owner, and each pack is remarkable and there is absolutely no one else I trust more with our pets. Most importantly, we appreciate what this team does for our local community such as trained pack dog visits to local nursing homes, retirement communities, & children shelters. Their commitment to safety, comfort, and individuality for the animals is unlike any other company I’ve worked with. I want them to be the best kept secret for our community but they deserve be well known and so many stars and thumbs up… kudos to this team. We appreciate you!

Frida
Isabella, Stacie, and everyone at The Shepard’s are the most kind, helpful, and professional. My dog, Frida, has been going for walks and boarding since she was 6 month old, now she is 3 years old. For her, going to board with them it is like going on vacation. She absolutely loves it. She have fun, love, and care there, not to mention that she gets to be with Benson. If you have a dog that needs the exercise or to stay overnight, no better hands that
Isabella and her team.

Bailey
My Bailey is a handful and they have never wavered from trying to help her become less reactive. They worked with her versus ignoring her. Bailey loves loves her Good Shephard family! 🦮💕
Michelle Horn
Uxie
So thankful that we got referred to The Good Shepard’s!! Isabella, Stacie, and the entire crew have been so wonderful to our Uxie and she has truly made leaps and bounds since her 1st training session at 5 months! She was very timid with other dogs when we 1st started and now she absolutely loves her pack walks and playing with other dogs. Our family is to thankful to have Uxie a part of this group!

Rex
When Rex goes with the Good Shepherds – whether it’s for a walk or boarding, it’s basically like he’s going with family.
He is loved and cared for and challenged to be the best dog he can be. Isabella has not only worked with Rex to be better but also has taught me how to train him and give him the boundaries he needs to be a better dog. I trust them with my baby and always feel comfortable communicating with them if I have any questions or concerns.
There are so many options for your fur baby, but I highly recommend the Good Shepherds if you want your dog to have an extended family.

Echo
When you love your dogs and treat them as family members the way we do, you only want the best for them. Watching Echo freak out in excitement when someone from The Good Shepherds walks through our door to pick him up truly warms my heart. Not only has he learned some manners he was lacking, but he comes home happy and tired. If anyone is looking for pack walks, boarding, training or any other service they provide, I highly recommend them!

Elvis & Willie
The Goodshepherds have been such a blessing to our family! They have done pack walks weekly, daycare and occasional boarding for over 3 years (almost since we first got them as puppies). Our dogs absolutely love everyone at the Goodshepherds and wait anxiously every morning for them to walk through our door! We are grateful for the amazing care, support, training and knowledge they share with the dogs and with us as owners. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the services they offer in all categories. Isabella is a dedicated, hard-working woman who’s love for our pups has added to their quality of their life. We are thankful and feel so blessed to have found the Goodshepherds! They provide support when needed in so many ways. We never have to think twice about being away because when they board with the Goodshepherds they are treated like their own as well as being cared for and loved as we would. We are grateful in so many ways and would recommend them to all!

Rosie
Thank you to everyone at The Good Shepards for the amazing care you take of Rosie, our terrier. She gets really excited about her weekly walk, and comes home happy and exhausted! We have noticed a real change in her behavior with other dogs since she has been walking in a group – she is a lot less nervous and more ready to play. Thank you!
