A service that says the price out loud
Thicket & Trail Dog Walking is a dog walking and daycare service at 112 Juniper Row in Bend, working to a route and a group size agreed before the first collection.
The service runs six things and nothing else. Each one has a written scope and a published price, and the dog is met and watched against that scope before a place is offered. A dog that needs more than the booked service is re-quoted at that point, and the owner decides.
Nothing is added during a booking. There is no upsell at the door, no bundled package, and no charge that appears only at the end of the month. What the dog was booked in for is what it gets, unless somebody agreed otherwise first.
Three principles
-
The dog is met before the price is fixed
A published price applies to a published scope. The dog is watched against that scope first, and a difference is named then rather than at the end.
-
The dog sets the pace
A dog that has had enough is turned for home, not walked through it. A booking that ends early is charged for the time the dog actually spent out.
-
No promised result
Thicket & Trail Dog Walking states what it will do. It makes no claim about how a dog will behave by the end of a month, and it attaches no outcome to a breed.
What a visit looks like
-
Step 1
The dog is met
Age, size, recall and lead manners, at home and before anything is booked.
-
Step 2
The scope is confirmed
One of the six services, or a plain statement that none of them fits this dog.
-
Step 3
The price is confirmed
Out loud, before the first collection, including what would change it.
-
Step 4
The walk is reported back
Against the route that was agreed, with a note of anything worth knowing next time.
What this service does not do
Thicket & Trail Dog Walking walks dogs and boards them by the day. It is not a veterinary practice and not a training school: it does not diagnose, treat or medicate, and a dog showing signs of pain or illness is returned to its owner and referred to a vet rather than walked. It also takes no same-day bookings, because a place in a group has to be a place that genuinely exists.
A question about a route, a group or a price
The contact form takes a question and sends it to the office. Book goes to the arrangements page; neither one confirms a place by itself.
