BEST PRACTICES:

Daily Group Dog Walks-(Monday-Friday 10am -3pm)

During our group walk, your dog will enjoy a walk around historic Charlestown with the company of his or her doggie pals. Group walks are beneficial when building your dog’s social skills and fulfill their desire to be pack animals, making for a happier pooch! We keep all of our walks to a maximum of FIVE(5) dogs per group in order to provide plenty of individual attention to each of our dogs with the following standards set forth by MonumenTails:

  • New clients will be on a probationary/evaluation period for the first 30 days.
  • Dogs must demonstrate social aptitude with others in the pack.
  • Dogs will be matched by temperament or size and will be adjusted as needed.
  • There is a 2 hour window allowance for walks (ie. If walk is scheduled for 12pm walk, dog will be walked between 11am and 1pm).
  • Dog will not have demonstrated aggressive or threatening behavior towards other dogs prior to joining our pack. If we determine the dog exhibits aggressive behavior during our evaluation period (30 days),we would be happy to suggest other arrangements for your dog to be walked.
  • Evening Walks are conducted between 4-6pm for 20 mins only unless other arrangements are made. Walks must be requested by 1pm day of service.
  • Weekend walks are based on availability and requested by Friday prior.
    Client will make every effort to provide working keys to unit for entry .
  • Same Day morning walks will be requested by 9am and walks are not guaranteed
