The Leash team is incredible. They have been professional, are reasonable priced, and make sure your pup is well taken care. I would highly recommend to everyone who needs some help keeping their pups active throughout the week!!

The Leash Team is amazing! My Jovi loves going for walks and on the Doggy Adventures with the whole gang….and I know that he is being well taken care of when he’s with them! He is always happy, and most importantly, nice and tired when he gets home from his excursions with The Leash Team…and if any one has a Doberman, you know how trying it can be to wear them out! LOL
A big thank you to Dan and the whole crew! Jovi and I are so glad we met you!

The Leash Team are not just professionally trained Dog Walkers. They create an environment of FAMILY with both their staff and their dogs. When you truly LOVE what you do, excellence follows and this could not be truer for The Leash Team. I have joined them on one of their walks and the joy is easy to see for both the walkers and the Dogs alike. Your Furbabies are in good hands.

Dan and Bea and the whole Leash Team are so dedicated to the care and happiness of their dog clients. They love my dog Henry like he was their own! I would highly recommend The Leash Team for your dog walking needs. If the dogs could write a reveiw, they would give them 5 PAWS!

January 18, 2021 at 3:34 pmSince Nanook has been spending time with the dog walkers every day he has lost weight and is in much better shape. He always comes home looking like he has had a good time. In fact, the dog walkers always look like they have had a really good time too. It’s a chance for him to socialize with other dogs and with other humans too since he is so friendly by nature.

January 19, 2021 at 8:38 pmThe Leash Team is highly professional. All members are well trained and happy to be doing their work with the dogs. I highly recommend The Leash Team and have recommended to some of my co-workers. It has for sure made my dog happier and made me worry less about leaving him behind when I go to work!

January 20, 2021 at 7:22 pmDan has been dog walking and dog boarding, Ella, for over a year now and we couldn’t be happier with his service and his care of our sweet girl. She absolutely loves her walks with him and the other dogs in the off-leash dog parks and she can hardly contain herself when he shows up to take her on her walks. We walk Ella a lot on our own and we were having The Leash Team just walk her with the pack once a week, but since she enjoys being with the pack so much she now goes with the pack twice a week. I trust and highly recommend The Leash Team’s dog walking services in Edmonton.

The leash team are fabulous. It’s such a great help to have such an accommodating team who you can trust to take care of your fur baby, over night or for walks at the off leash. When I left for a family vaca, my mind was at complete ease knowing that Koda would be enjoying herself to the fullest with all those walks and friends to play with. The walks are a great help to break up Koda’s day. The team is organized and safety is number one.
