About us

The friendly face behind For the Dogs

For the Dogs is built on patience, kindness, and a real love of dogs. Here is a little about Kurt and how we work.

Hi, I'm Kurt

I started For the Dogs because I believe dogs deserve to be active, social, and properly understood. Over the years I have learned that the secret to a happy dog is simple: patience, consistency, and plenty of play.

Every dog that comes to me is treated like one of my own. Whether your dog needs a gentle walk, a confidence boost around other dogs, or a full day of daycare, I take the time to get to know them and what makes them tick.

I keep my groups small so that every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. No rushing, no shortcuts, just good honest care for your best mate.
