Welcome to Happy Doggie!
A
passionate dog lover and owner, Al is no stranger to dogs. Born in the
Yukon, he's used to being outdoors in inclement weather.
While growing up in Whitehorse, Al always enjoyed taking his own dogs for long hikes throughout the wilderness of Canada's rugged North.
He started Dog Walking in 1999 (originally under the name Zippy Dog Expeditions) and has walked so many wonderful friends of all different breeds throughout the past decade. In fact, a couple of his present clients have been walking with him for more than half of this time. Whether it's a cold, snowy winter day or a lazy, hazy hot summer afternoon, it's an adventure all year long!
To join the pack at the park, give me a call at: 613-277-9479 or email: topdog@happydoggie.ca.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about my service.

From Tracy, Bear's Human Friend and one of my original clients back in1999:
Dear Al,
Leaving any child at home is traumatic for all involved. Key to the well-being of all" is a
caregiver who is honest, dependable, and most of all willing to give of themselves.
The relationship you have developed with Bear has warmed our hearts and home. When we
return from work, Bear is happy to see us, but many times he gives us a good "licking" greeting
and goes to sleep (pooped from his walks with you, we assume).
To us you are not a dog-walker, but a caregiver, and it shows in everything you do. It’s the
little conversations you have with Bear (and Meika -’meow’), the way you carefully introduced
him to the dogs in the car, toweling him off when you bring him home (a habit now for him),
and the ever-ready smile that shows you enjoy the companies of our babies as much as we do.
Just as any caregiver helps to shape and mould young minds and character, you have played a
guiding role in Bear’s development as well.
Thank you for not only walking Bear, but walking with him

Since founding my dog walking company in 1999, I've strived to provide only the best service to my customers, whether they've got two legs
or four! I knew I had succeeded when I received this letter from Tracy, one of my very first clients.
