About The Owner
Tonya has had a huge passion for dogs and other animals since she was young living with many types of household pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small animals! While she completed a University and College degree, she was a dog walker with Heidi's Happy Hounds in Guelph and volunteered with Taffy's Legacy Canine Rescue and Rehabilitation. These two experiences made her realize that a career with dogs is perfect for her. Tonya is very familiar with animal behaviour and many training techniques. She is dedicated to expanding her knowledge about the behaviour, body language and welfare of canines. Tonya has been walking dogs in Guelph and Cambridge part time for many years and now she is ready to turn her passion into a full-time career. Although the business is new and small now, she is excited for the days to come when she can add more animal lovers to her team and see the business grow.
