Thoughtfully guided walks focused on confidence, decompression, and gentle
skill-building
Designed With These Dogs in Mind
A puppy or newly adopted dog building (or rebuilding) confidence, routines, and foundational skills
Â
A sensitive or easily overwhelmed dog who benefits from gentle guidance and supportive structure on walks
Â
A dog who experiences outdoor stress or uncertainty and needs help feeling safe and calm in their environment
Â
A desire for predictable, low-stress walking experiences for both you and your dog
A dog who is still developing confidence and emotional regulation skills in new or stimulating environments
Through fun, positive activities, we work on skills like loose leash walking, road and crosswalk safety, recall, impulse control, tricks, and enrichment games. Everything is adapted to your dog’s energy and personality, making learning a safe, supportive, and enjoyable experience
Safe & Supportive Learning
We gently support your dog in exploring new environments at their own pace. Through gradual, positive experiences, we build confidence while helping you recognise and respond to their stress signals with understanding and care
We walk your dog at a calm, easy pace, encouraging choice, exploration, and confidence. Each walk is adaptable and low-stress, helping them feel safe while strengthening our connection
Gentle Guidance on Walks
We prioritise activities that lower arousal and support nervous system regulation. Through natural sniffing, decompression, and enrichment tailored to your dog’s energy, we encourage healthy coping skills and emotional balance
Confidence in New Spaces
Decompression & Emotional Wellbeing
What Sessions Focus On
How It Works
Consult + Assessment
This starting point helps us get to know your dog, understand your walking routines and needs, and determine whether Mindful Walks are an appropriate fit
The consult is usually completed virtually, giving us time to talk through your dog's history, current routines, walking experiences, communication, health and wellbeing considerations, and any concerns or goals you have. It also gives us an opportunity to understand what would make the walks supportive and sustainable for you and your household
The assessment is tailored to what will give us the most useful information. Depending on your dog and what we learn during the consult, this may involve in-person observation, videos from your everyday routines, virtual support, or a combination of approaches. If an in-person assessment is the right next step, we can arrange that following the consult
Follow Up Sessions
Once we've determined that Mindful Walks are an appropriate fit, ongoing walks include individualized support based on your dog's needs, walking experiences, and the information gathered during the Consult + Assessment
I work with your pup one-on-one
Each walk focuses on regulation, confidence building, and thoughtful, guided exposure to the world around them - adjusted to your dog’s needs and their environment
Â
Sessions are gently structured, supportive, and adaptable - Â offering freedom and choice for your dog without force, rigidity, or command/obedience based trainingÂ
Between Sessions
You’ll receive brief updates as appropriate, which may include observations, progress, and simple, practical suggestions to support your dog at home and during walks
Â
Photos and/or videos may be shared with you when helpful.
With your permission, we may also feature your dog on social media
Â
Brief text or email check-ins are available as needed between walks
Session Length & Flexibility
The Consult + Assessment typically involves approximately 1–1.5 hours of combined time, which may include reviewing intake information and history, the virtual consult, and in-person or virtual assessment and observation where appropriate. The format and amount of time involved may vary depending on your dog’s needs.
Most walks are approximately 60 minutes
Shorter or modified sessions may be recommended for young, anxious, or more sensitive dogs to ensure a positive experience
Sessions can be adjusted or rescheduled as needed, provided changes fall within the timeframes and conditions outlined in your agreement

Pre-scheduling helps you secure times that fit your routine and ensures your dog gets consistent, intentional walks to build confidence, calm, and skills
After the first month, many families continue for multiple months to keep progress steady and fun
What a Time Block Is
A time block is a dedicated chunk of time set aside specifically for your dog’s walk. It ensures I can focus fully on your dog’s needs without interruptions

Time Blocks & Scheduling
Why I Use Them
Time blocks help structure walks in a way that’s manageable for your schedule, my availability, and your dog’s attention span. They ensure sessions are effective, positive, and stress-free
Availability:Â Afternoons, early evenings, and select weekends. Mostly Rossella-led; Julien may assist
Primarily in South Surrey + White Rock
Walks in other areas are limited, subject to availability, and include a travel fee
Real Experiences, Real Progress
"Rossella spent time supporting one of our girls with leash reactivity and helped lay a strong foundation in just a few sessions. We saw real progress, and our walks improved dramatically.
We highly recommend Rossella and her team without hesitation and will definitely be booking again."
