About Me
Ron with Bella, Gracie, and the dog pack in the Edmonton River Valley

Meet Your Dog Walker

Based right here in Edmonton, Alberta, The Edmonton Dog Walker (formerly Happy Tails Animal Services) has been proudly keeping local pups happy, healthy, and moving for more than 15 years. In 2010, I took over this small, family-run business and eventually rebranded it to mirror my singular focus: providing the absolute best care for Edmonton’s canine community.

Since that fateful day, my life has centered around daily pack walks through our beautiful Edmonton River Valley. Joined by my own trusted companion, Bella, I have established an incredible, close-knit pack over the years. Because I run a deliberate, small, one-man operation, your dog will never have to adjust to a rotating roster of strangers. Instead, they enjoy a stable, deeply loving, and consistent relationship with the exact same walker every single day.

I pride myself on offering safe, structured, and affordable exercise tailored to the needs of my pack members. Above all, I value the meaningful, high-trust relationships I build with both my furry clients and their owners. If you or someone you know is looking for a reliable pack to join, I would love to connect. Please reach out to me using the contact information below!

My Services
Dog Walking

Dog Walking

Available seven days a week, rain or shine, to guarantee your dog gets the reliable exercise they need, right when they need it. I treat every single client's pup as if they were my very own, ensuring they receive ample amounts of love, affection, and personal attention throughout our entire outing together in the community.

Socialization & Training

Socialization & Play

Give your pup the chance to socialize safely with a wide range of breeds and sizes. During our daily pack walks, your dog will naturally develop essential obedience skills. I also offer specialized, guaranteed in-home training for problematic behaviors like leash pulling, barking, or vehicle anxiety. Every unique challenge can be solved with patience!

Shuttle & Exercise

Exercise

I offer a convenient, complimentary door-to-door pick-up and drop-off service at no extra charge. I collect pack members right from your home between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, and safely return them after their adventure between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Exact shuttle timing may vary slightly by 30 minutes depending on the daily pack size.

Testimonials
Testimonial 1

Janet Askin

"Ron is a 'dog whisperer.' I can not say enough good things about him and how he cares for dogs and how highly skilled he is. My Sally is at her best with him and the pack, and I trust him implicitly. It is my financial priority to have her walk with him every day of the week, as she is a better dog for it and I can not imagine her with anyone better. Five stars is too low, he is simply the best. Sally is fearful of small dogs, as she was tormented and bitten by two of them, as a puppy. I am indescribably grateful for Ron and would (and do) recommend him to anyone. A last note, this is the only review that I have ever written for anything, I have never been so motivated or so impressed with a professional/service. Not ever. Ron inspires me to gush on about him and his abilities. You would be lucky to have your animal companion in his very capable hands."

"If there were more than 5 stars I would give Ron those, too.....as long as he gets top ranking. When Gracie first went into his pack she was nervous of big dogs and full of trauma. Now she runs to him and sleeps an exhausted, but happy sleep when she returns. Ron also easily recognizes that we are seniors who sometimes need the assistance of a younger, stronger male to lift and tote for us........he is always ready to help and we so appreciate him for that."
