What's involved in a Pack Exercise and Socialization Group?
Our packs consist of 10 -20 dogs at a time
from Sonoma County to San Francisco, picked up daily in our company van and driven to FAIRWIND Farm in Santa Rosa for two hours of organized exercise, running and playing with each other, on and off leash before they're driven home. They're with us for about 4-6 hours from the time they're picked up to drop off.
Dogs aren't meant to be left alone for long periods of time.
They go through separation anxiety or become bored and stressed and eventually act out with barking, chewing or generally making a mess for you to clean up when you get home and that just adds more stress on you and your pet companion.
While you're at work or on vacation a Pack Walk is the best investment for your pet companion's physical and mental health and your peace of mind.
The cost of a pack walk includes
Pick up from home.
Two Hours of Pack Exercise and Socialization at FAIRWIND Farm.
Total of 4-6 hours or more of socialization between pick up and drop off time.
Updates on your pet companions health (bowel movements, etc.)
Photos of your pet companion in action can be seen on our Facebook Page while you're at work or on vacation.
Drop off at home.
One Happy Exercised, Socialized and Well Behaved Dog when you get home.

Dog Training
Dear Glenn; I just want you to know how very much we appreciate the miracles you have wrought with Mona. As you know she is a rescue dog who roamed the streets in Riverside. The lady that ran the rescue service told us she didn't like other dogs and we found out immediately that she was terrified of being on a lead. She had had no training so she was a clean slate. One of my bridge partners told us about you so we thought it was certainly worth a try. You can imagine our delight with the wonders you have brought about. I told you I didn't want her spirit broken. Well, you never even raise your voice to her but somehow magically she does what you want her to do. She gets along well with other dogs so we don't have that worry and she walks on a lead, she comes when we call and has turned into a pleasure to have around. She has certainly found her place in our home. I told you I didn't want a highly trained dog. I wanted her to retain her own personality but to be gentle and a good friend. And that is exactly what happened and for that we all thank you. Especially Mona. If anyone would like to talk with us, feel free to give them our number.
- Thank you Glenn. Bev Williams
Pack Walking
Hi Glenn & Team, I just wanted to thank you all so much for the wonderful care you consistently give to our Bando. We know that making sure he's safe is a little extra work given the scars on his back, but you have helped us find a successful solution (the all-weather jackets!) so that he can run around and play with his pals. We are so appreciative of the extra love you've show him and your concern for his physical well being. He is clearly in LOVE with all of you, as he sits in the window all morning once we mention your name, waiting for your car to pull up with his pack of buddies! Having a very tired dog at the end of the day has been a big help to us with the arrival of our baby, too. Also, when you house/dog sit, it's so easy on us and Bando clearly doesn't miss us for a second! We are so grateful that you've showed him how to manage his puppy excitement and behave well with other dogs of all sizes and ages. Best of all, he now even listens to us off leash when we take him out on walks.
- Thank you from all of us! Casey, Brady, Oliver & Bando
Pet/House Sitting
We are so thankful to have found Glenn! My husband and I have 3 kids and 2 bulldogs named Stanley and Walter- both are still pups. We have not been able to go on a family vacation for more than 3 days at a time because we don’t trust anyone to take care of our dogs. For those of you who have bulldogs, you know they are very set in their routines, try and eat everything and do not like being out of their ordinary surroundings. A friend suggested I meet Glenn- and in the first seconds, he immediately was on the ground wrestling & playing with Stanley and Walter. We decided to go to Hawaii for 8 nights and Glenn agreed to house sit. Unfortunately- when we were gone, Walter became very ill and it is because of Glenn’s incredible judgement- Walter is alive today. Glenn noticed something wasn’t right, without hesitation got into his car headed to sf- waiting outside our vet’s hospital at 7:30 am. He called the doctor and explained the symptoms, but more importantly said- “we are right outside!” wasting no time. Our Vet said that it is truly because of Glenn that our dog is still with us. Glenn is so great with “the boys” as he calls them- he sends me photo’s and texts me with updates throughout the day- I feel secure they are being loved and having a fun time. The last time Glenn took the dogs for the day, our family was scheduled to come home around 10pm- we opened the door and their was soft classical music playing on the tv – Stanley and Walter sitting on the couch- looking especially relaxed!
- We love and trust Glenn! The Greenwoods
