Jax
Age: 4
Breed: Australian sheppard
I've consistently had an outstanding experience with Run the Dog. Chantal's professionalism is evident from the start, and what's most impressive is the deep understanding of canine behaviour. My dog is not only happier and healthier, but he also gets the right balance of exercise and social interaction. This service has made a big difference in our routine and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their dog’s physical and emotional well-being.
RYDER
Age: 9.5
Breed: Canadian Cur
Chantal and Run the Dog have been a life-changing service for us. Our 9.5-year-old hound, Ryder, has had neurological issues all his life, and managing stress can be difficult for him and for us to send him to just any pet care service. Chantal took the time to get to know Ryder and understand what helps him in those stressful situations, and he has now integrated into the pack like he has been there all his life. Ryder has always had anxiety and issues with stress, but every week that Chantal comes to pick him up, he can't leave the house fast enough. Having a service like Run the Dog has given Ryder some much-needed confidence to just 'be a dog' but also for us to alleviate some stress in making sure he gets the exercise he needs. We are forever grateful to Chantal and Run the Dog and cannot recommend her enough!

ROSEY

Breed: Vizla
“We have been so pleased with Runthedog! Chantal has been wonderful working with our reactive dog to help manage Rosey's anxiety and excessive barking. It's also so convenient on hectic mornings and gives us peace of mind knowing that the dogs will get a good run and great socialization.”

BENNY
Age: 1.5 Years
Breed: Bully XL
“Run the Dog has been a game changer for Big Ben and our entire family. As a high-energy dog, Ben needs regular exercise and stimulation, and the team at Run the Dog delivers exactly that—every single time. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for Ben’s well-being are unmatched.
It’s clear Chantel treat every dog like her own. Ben comes home happy, tired, and better behaved. We’ve noticed a huge improvement in his overall mood and behaviour since starting with Run the Dog. We truly couldn’t ask for a better partner to keep our big guy healthy and active.”
Highly recommended!

Hi, I’m Chantal, founder of Run The Dog, lifelong animal lover and fitness enthusiast.
Movement has always been a part of my story. I grew up training and riding horses, playing soccer and raised by marathon-running parents who inspired my own love for long distance running.
Over the years, I’ve embraced everything from yoga to strength training, but a few years ago I started running dogs for fun and now I have my very own business! That’s when Run The Dog came to life.
I wanted to offer a unique experience for dog owners to trust someone with their fur baby, to take their fitness to the next level, play and socialize with other dogs, help them with obedience, help them manage any bad behaviours and improve mental health. It's a step up from doggie daycare!
Today, I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I’ve trained my brother’s Aussie Jax to swim and love water, I part-board a horse named Eliott that I broke to ride and I’m a proud cat mom to two cats luna and Daisy that we adopted! My days are always surrounded by animals and that's the pure freedom I've found in living in the truth of who I really am.
