What Exactly does the sophisticated dog do?
Our main service is all about our private dog walking. We aim to make our dog walking service as flexible and reliable as you need it to be. We welcome clients who need frequent, regular weekly walks, as well as those who want our service to simply be on-call or require a changing weekly schedule. You can schedule your walks as frequently or infrequently as you like, and we can be there for your dog on short notice too!
How it Works
Step 1 - Make ContacT
The first step to get started with our private dog walking service is to contact us if you have questions. You can either text us at 519-312-2325 or send us a message through our website. No questions? Click the link above to submit your online paperwork to get things rolling!
Step 2 - Meet and Greet time
After we have received your online paperwork, someone will contact you to schedule a quick meet and greet. During this meet and greet, you will get to meet one of our dog walkers who will go over your pet’s care needs and make sure everyone is comfortable. We will also answer any questions you may have and provide you with an overview of our services.
Step 3 - Schedule a Walk!
Once the meet and greet is complete, we will work with you to schedule a starting date for the walks with one of our professional, experienced and fully insured and bondable dog walkers. To start the walks, contact Tracy via text or email her with your desired schedule for walks.

Why Choose Us?
The Sophisticated Dog has been in operation in Sarnia since 2015. We are very trusted in the community. We also aim to help set an industry standard for dog walkers and pet care providers. We are a registered business and we are insured and bonded. We also follow the current industry-standard for dog training which means ethics first! We will work with your dog using the training principles of modern reward-based, fear-free training methods (this includes positive reinforcement, motivational/marker training, force-free and non-aversive training techniques) because they are rooted in modern science founded in comparative psychology of dogs—the science of how the canine mind learns and how they regulate their emotions. We want to form a long-lasting, relationship with your dogs and that starts with trust!

Dog Owner Reviews
I was beyond thrilled to have come across Tracy and her team at The Sophisticated Dog while I was dealing with a medical issue and was not able to walk my two dogs. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that my dogs needs would be taken care of every single day.
Tracy and her team are so great with ouGolden Doodle, Doug. He loves it when they come get him for a walk. Tracy has built a business doing something she loves and her professionalism is very evident.
The Sophisticated Dog walkers have eased my mind. Each day, while I am at work, they arrive to take Patti outside, for a walk and playtime. Patti feels special. She is loved.
