The Black Dog Cookie House - Dog Walking Services

North Shore Group Dog Walks

Serving North Shore Dogs with Love since 1998

About Us

Quality Pet Care

The Black Dog Cookie House offers group dog walks that are one hour in length, and are conducted on many different trails across the North Shore. We offer dog walking in the form of off-leash hikes in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Our dog walking service only takes social dogs, that enjoy being in forested trails with other dogs. Our purpose is to offer fun and safe walks for dogs of all sizes and age, so that they can come home exercised, with a big smile on their face.

Reliable and Trustworthy Walkers

Welcome to our family! We’re one of the oldest and most experienced dog walking companies on the North Shore, and enjoy an excellent reputation. The Black Dog Cookie House was established in 1998, and we’re proud to say that we still have families in our groups that started that year. All the dogs in our charge truly become part of our family, and we care for all of them like our own. Our company has only two people caring for the dogs: Micki and Adam Ashurst, a husband-and-wife team. We have always chosen not to take on any other employees, as we feel strongly about keeping this business very personal. Many of our clients have been using us for years (some for over 25 years with their 3rd dogs!), and really enjoy not only the great exercise and fun their dogs have, but also our continuous communication and advice.

Our Crew

Brodie and Montana, the original Black Dog Cookie House dogs. Our company is named partially after them, partially after the dog cookies we used to make as a sideline.

Pups of all sizes enjoying our group dog walks

All shapes and sizes join our group hikes. We use mini-vans for transportation. This allows better control over the dogs, plus heat and A/C when needed.

As Tiko and Chance are showing you, we can get dirty. But we will dry and clean everyone before they come home.
