Experience the Difference

Off leash exploration while building social skills benefits both you and your pup, more so than your typical leashed walk can offer. South Hound picks up your pup and returns them home for less than what you pay for a walk around the block, for twice the adventure time and excitement!

Why Outside Matters:

More Than Just Play

1

Just as physical activity is imperative for their well being, mental stimulation keeps dogs happy and healthy. Simply sniffing and exploring new surroundings provides dogs with a workout for not only their body but mind as well!

Builds Confidence

Studies have proven that the more positive exposure dogs get to novel stimuli and experiences, the more confident and secure they become in everyday life! Confident and stable dogs show less destructive and or dangerous behaviors, are less fearful meeting new dogs and people, and have less anxiety than dogs who aren’t exposed to new surroundings in a positive manner.

Vitamin D

Your dogs extra time in the sun (and not just laying in the sunbeam of a window) gives the extra boost of vitamin D, vital for bone health and helps maintain the correct bone to phosphorus ratio in the body.
