Why us
Brisbane Trail Dogs is one of the first professional dog walking services to arrive in Brisbane. It was started in response to founder AJ’s love of walking her 3 year old labradoodle Millie in the great outdoors.
“We moved to a Newstead City apartment following years of living on the edge of Mount Coot-Tha forest. This meant that we no longer had doorstep access to surrounding nature trails.
Losing access to our leafy backyard came at an expense to Millie’s freedom to just be a dog in a natural and sensory enriching environment. Walking around the inner City is really beautiful for humans but I felt guilty that I was depriving Millie of an environment that a dog has naturally evolved to thrive in. Noticing a decline in her well-being, I started to drive back to our local nature trails and almost instantly noticed an improvement in her mood, behaviour and overall happiness.
It was at this point that Brisbane Trail Dogs was started.” I wanted to be able to share our love and extensive experience of walking in nature with all dogs but particularly those dogs that live in apartments” Walking with a small group of carefully chosen companions definitely fulfills a dogs instinctive need to socialise and be part of a pack.
Our mission here at Trail Dogs is to help make dogs as happy as they make us!
Some of our favourite nature & walking locations include Mount-Coot-Tha, Toohey Forest, Mount Gravatt and so many others. With approximately 250km of Nature Trails to choose from, your dog will never be bored with the same walk again.
