Hazelnut Walks are designed to pair friendly, well-trained dogs with a friend they can enjoy walking with. Hazelnut is dog neutral on our walks, and communicates very well with other dogs. The goal is peaceful walking, sharing space, and sniffing along together without play or rambunctious behavior. Each dog requires their own handler for this service.
Hazelnut is also available to join anyone who would enjoy her company on a dog walk, regardless of dog ownership status. If you’re looking for a walking buddy, book with Elly and Hazelnut!
