Dog Roar

Dog Walking in Chicago

Reliable dog walking across our coverage area. Solo or small-group walks built around your schedule and your dog.

Dog walking across our coverage area in Franklin Park and the surrounding suburbs. Solo walks for dogs that need their own pace, small group walks for dogs that do well together. Either way, your dog gets real exercise, structured leash work, and a tired-out come-home.

We match the route, the pace, and the handler to your dog. Reactive dogs go solo. Social dogs can run a small group. The walk follows the same leash rules we train in our programs, so your dog stays sharp on the loose-leash work between sessions.

What's included

  • Solo and small-group walks across the service area
  • Handler matching based on your dog and their needs
  • Loose-leash structure that reinforces training between sessions
  • Flexible scheduling around your work day
  • Built around our 15 to 20 mile coverage radius from Franklin Park

Is dog walking right for my dog?

It depends on what you need. The free consultation is built to figure that out. Ray Bhimani reads your dog first, then tells you honestly whether dog walking fits or whether a different service is the better starting point. No upsell, no pressure.

How long does dog walking take to see real results?

Most owners see meaningful change inside the first few sessions. The full program length depends on the dog, the goals, and the format you choose. Private lessons spread out over weeks. Board & Train compresses into 2, 4, or 6 weeks of full-time work. We tell you a realistic timeline at the consultation, not a sales number.
