Is Praline's right for your dog?
This is a private membership, not a walk-by-walk service. It suits some dogs and some households better than others, so here is the honest version.
A great fit if you want
- The same specialist every visit, not a rotating stranger
- Your dog walked alone, never in a pack
- A photo, video and written update after every walk
- A routine that happens whether or not your day goes to plan
Probably not if you need
- Occasional, last-minute cover rather than a standing routine
- The lowest price per walk in Atlanta
- Group play or daycare rather than a private walk
What your dog gets on every visit
A walk moves your dog's body. Enrichment fulfils their instincts: sniffing, foraging, problem-solving. Every visit does both, and every visit is private.
A private enrichment walk
Just your dog and their walker. Sniff work, foraging, problem-solving games or agility, chosen for what your dog is wired for, with a new activity introduced each month.
Enrichment, not just exercise
Twelve enrichment styles, matched to your dog's personality. A fulfilled dog, not just a tired one.
Photos, video and a written update
GPS tracking and a report after every single walk. You'll never have to wonder how it went.
Your dog stays home
No drop-off, no crate, no room full of strange dogs. Doors locked, paws wiped, keys and codes kept private.
The Happy Home Guarantee
A membership is a standing promise, not a booking. Here is exactly what we promise every time we walk through your door.
- Your dog's walk happens. Period.
Zero missed walks in 6+ years. If your assigned walker is out, your care team covers it. You never get a cancellation text.
- The same faces, not a rotating stranger.
Your assigned care team knows your dog's name, pace and quirks, and they are the ones who show up.
- A private walk, never a group walk.
Your dog goes out alone with their walker, with enrichment chosen for what they are actually wired for.
- You see every visit.
Photos, video and a written update after every single walk.
- Your timeslot stays yours.
It is held for you, which is why we only open 10 new memberships a month. We would rather tell you we are full than stretch a route thin.
- W-2 employees, background checked, first-aid trained.
Not a gig app. Everyone who touches your dog is on our payroll and accountable to us.
- Your home is covered and left as we found it.
Licensed, insured and bonded on every visit.
- You hear it from us first.
Limping, a skipped meal, an accident, anything that seems off, we tell you the same day, even when it is awkward.
Try us for 30 days.If you're not completely happy with how your dog is doing, email or call us and we'll refund your first month's membership in full, no questions asked. You keep the photos.
Who's actually walking your dog
Every Canine Enrichment Specialist is a trained, background-checked W-2 employee, not an independent contractor from an app. Praline's Backyard was founded by Dr Orazie Slayton, who brings over 20 years in public health and animal welfare.
W-2 employees, not contractors
The same people every week, on our payroll and accountable to us. Not a gig marketplace.
Background checked, insured and bonded
Every specialist, before they are ever assigned to a home. Your home and your dog are covered on every visit.
Canine first-aid trained and Fear Free trained
Certified before they ever hold a leash, and trained to read canine body language so anxious or easily overstimulated dogs feel safe.
Continuing education
Monthly team training in canine behaviour and enrichment, not a one-time onboarding.
45+ five-star reviews on Google
From Atlanta dog parents who use Praline's every week.
"Every single walker is incredibly loving, kind, and patient with our dogs. I feel like they treat them with the love and care they treat their own dogs. It's clear that the dog walkers are vetted and trained carefully. I think they are worth every penny and highly recommend!"T.A., posted on Google
"Worth every penny. We've been using Praline's the last few months after our older dog walker retired and could not be more pleased. Very responsive, easy to navigate app to book services, top-notch customer service, we (and our dogs) could not be happier."Dean Furst, posted on Google
"They are super attentive to our pup's needs, who can be anxious, and they do everything they can to make him feel safe and comfortable. We love to see post-walk pictures and videos from Michael who has become one of our pup's best friends in just a short time."Trevor Torres, posted on Google
"Knowing my dogs are in such loving and capable hands allows me to travel with complete peace of mind. Every time I return, my house is clean, organized, and left exactly as I left it. Their compassion, dedication, and attention to detail are unmatched."Brittany Johnson, posted on Google
