Sniff San Francisco

Description

Specialties

Sniff San Francisco is a locally owned, full-service dog care company that offers walking, training, and boarding. Our approach is refreshingly different and predicated on a simple precept of active engagement. We achieve this by right-sizing the dog-to-human ratio of 4-5 dogs per person and collaborating as a team. At the park, we have the human bandwidth and expertise to reinforce commands and promote play and socialization. Our in-house Certified Dog Trainer oversees all aspects of what we do. We go to great lengths to avoid transporting dogs in vehicles by walking dogs on foot, as a way to socialize them to the urban environment. We take a long-term view of each client relationship and remain committed to the health and sociability of your dog. At Sniff, we: - walk dogs on foot, as opposed to transporting dogs in vehicles; - promote and supervise dogs in play, whether it is playful bouts of romping, chases, games of keep-away, or tug; - use scientifically proven, reward-based methods to promote positive behavior and incorporate command work into your dog's day; - prioritize safety by having a team of trained professionals supervising our playgroups; and - work with dogs to modify behavior using R+ methods.

History

Established in 2013.

At Sniff, we are a firm believer of active engagement. We engage and socialize the dogs in our care with positive play and training. Because we walk our dogs to parks, they get even more exercise and become socialized to various urban stressors. We are also experienced in working with rescue dogs. We regularly help new owners socializing their rescues to their new lifestyles and environments. Additionally, we engage dog owners through thoughtful communications, photos and videos so they have a full sense of their dog's wellbeing.
