History

Established in 2007.

Tricia decided upon the profession after running a friend’s two dogs for many months. There was a direct correlation between their days running and the dogs’ behavior. Running helped curb some of their negative habits, like barking and their boundless amounts of unharnessed energy. It was clear there was a need for this in a society as busy as ours and in a city as urban as Los Angeles. It made sense, and since dog walkers where getting paid to take Fido around the block to sniff and pee, dog running would benefit many pooches who needed the vigorous exercise due to their breed and/​or temperament.
