“At Citizen Kanine, the goal is to create great dog citizens and happy owners by providing the tools and knowledge needed to create a bonded relationship. Just like relationships between people, the relationship between each owner and dog is unique, and to determine which methods will be most effective, we take the time to get to know both you and your dog. Our techniques involve the use of positive reinforcement, although corrections may be needed for extreme behaviors. Most importantly, the Citizen Kanine philosophy involves the training of both dog and owner for long-term results.

Group Dog Walking

Service area: Citizen Kanine provides pick-up and drop off service for clients located west of Nicollet Avenue, east of Xerxes Avenue, south of 43rd Street and north of Minnehaha Parkway/52nd Street. View service area map.

Walks: Citizen Kanine does a group dog walk Monday through Friday each week (with the exception of major holidays). Walks occur between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on the scheduled walking day(s) with pick-up in the hour preceding and drop off in the hour following the walk. Weather permitting, walks are about 4 miles long and include a group rest period (e.g. the Lake Harriet Bandshell or at Studio 2). In the event of severe weather, walks may be shortened or in extreme cases, cancelled if the safety of dogs and walkers is in question. If a change in schedule is necessary, you will be notified by 9:00 a.m. the day of the scheduled walk. Note: Dogs should be at least 6 months old (depending on the breed) prior to joining the Citizen Kanine group dog walk.

Access: Clients either provide a house key (and security system access code if applicable) or use an outdoor kennel/fenced area where we can pick-up and drop-off the dogs.

Rates: For the best behavioral benefits we require that dogs walk at least twice per week. Note: There is a same day cancellation fee equivalent to the regularly scheduled walk rate that is applied if we are notified after 7:00 a.m. the day of the scheduled walk. There is also a $10 per month past due surcharge that is applied for payments received more than 30 days after an invoice is issued.
