Mindful Movement & Rewilded Care for the Modern Dog
Walking • Enrichment • Drop-Ins • The Woof Lounge™
WagTime™ is the walking and movement division of Woof Houze built for guardians who want more than a quick potty break.
We offer rewilded experiences that honor instinct, support the nervous system, and create real emotional safety.
Our WagTime Companions are trained canine professionals who understand behavior, rhythm, and the emotional world of dogs especially dogs with big feelings. But we welcome and support all dogs.
WagTime is not traditional dog walking.
It is intentional, relationship-based, emotionally intelligent movement for the modern-day dog.
🌿 Why WagTime™ Exists (The Truth No One Talks About)
The dog walking industry is completely unregulated.
Anyone can wake up one morning, make a profile, and start walking dogs no training, no education, no behavioral understanding, no safety standards. No understanding of fear or sensitivity.
And guardians don’t realize the risk until something goes wrong.
We see the aftermath all the time:
dogs returned more anxious than they started
dogs pulled into unsafe situations
mishandling mistaken for “training”
fearful dogs forced into overwhelming environments
handlers using leash pressure, corrections, intimidation
dogs pulled or dragged into unsafe situations
social discomfort misread as “stubbornness”
traumatic experiences disguised as “exercise”
Most guardians have no idea their walker is accidentally making things worse.
This is why WagTime exists.
Your dog deserves more than a person with a leash.
They deserve a trained professional — someone educated, steady, emotionally aware. Someone who understands behavior, fear, pressure, instinct, emotional nuance. Caring and skilled enough to protect their nervous system and their dignity.
Someone who becomes part of your dog’s circle, not a stranger who shows up and hopes for the best.
Our WagTime Companions™ are:
CPR & First Aid Certified
Behavior-educated
Nervous system–literate
Trauma-informed
Bonded & insured
Background checked
Professionally trained
Skilled in supporting dogs with big feelings
Trained and supervised under the behavioral leadership of our founder, Adia Shanee — a nationally recognized behavior specialist and creator of the rewilded movement model used throughout Woof Houze
This is not gig work.
This is caregiving.
Your Companion becomes an extension of your family’s support system.
🛡️ Safety, Tools & Handling Matter — Your Dog’s Body Should Not Be Hurt on a Walk
We need to be honest about another thing we see far too often:
Dogs come to us with
early tracheal collapse
chronic throat pain
Joint & mobility issues from forced sits and being yanked
reactivity created from leash discomfort
nervous system damage from constant “corrections”
This often happens during walks from being jerked, over-handled, or “controlled” by someone who didn’t understand their body or fear.
WagTime handles dogs differently.
✔ We ONLY use Back-Clip Harnesses
No pressure.
No choking.
No airway risk.
✔ We NEVER use aversive tools
No prong collars
No choke chains
No slip leads for control
No e-collars
No equipment that causes fear or pain
✔ We use Rhythm Walking (not commands or control)
Your Companion guides your dog through:
body cues
tempo
emotional matching
predictable patterns
support rather than pressure
This is communication, not force.
✔ We use Secured Waist-Worn Leashes
Hands-free stability prevents:
dropped leashes
sudden jerks
accidental injury
✔ We walk dogs in positions that protect their comfort
We never drag, pull, or push.
Your dog’s walk is always rooted in emotional and physical safety.
✔ We can teach YOU this method
If you want to walk with the same confidence and calm, we’ll show you:
how to support body freedom on leash
how to prevent pulling without corrections
how to walk with your dog rather than against them
Walking shouldn’t be a battle.
It should be a relationship.
🪷 A WagTime Stroll: What It Actually Looks Like
Every walk follows an intentional rhythm:
1. Sniff First™ Warm-Up
Your dog sets the pace and direction for the first part of the walk grounding their nervous system.
2. Relationship Check-In
Your Companion adjusts to your dog’s emotional baseline.
3. Decompression Phase
Long sniffs, pauses, scent-led exploration pressure-free.
4. Confidence Micro-Moments
Small opportunities for neutrality, choice, and disengagement never forced obedience.
5. Settling Cool-Down
Your dog returns home regulated, not overstimulated.
This is rewilded movement.
🌿 Types of WagTime™ Strolls
1️⃣ Daily Strolls & Adventures (30-45mins)
Perfect for daily rhythm, potty breaks, emotional grounding, and neighborhood exploration.
Your dog receives:
One dedicated neighborhood Care Companion™
Sniff First™ warm-up
Slow-paced, observation-based strolling
Potty break + hydration
Post-stroll guardian update
Relationship-centered movement
2️⃣ Community Confidence Strolls™ (45-60mins)
Designed for dogs needing more support navigating the world reactivity, overwhelm, barking, freezing, pulling, worry, hypervigilance, etc.
These strolls focus on:
Environmental neutrality
Reducing emotional overwhelm
Real-world skill-building
Pattern work grounded in nervous-system science
Empowering dogs AND guardians
Supporting big-feeling dogs without force or pressure
🧩 Rewilded Enrichment & N.A.T.U.R.E.™ Work
Because not every walk needs to be a walk.
If your dog needs something different on a given day, your Companion may shift into N.A.T.U.R.E.™-aligned activities that fulfill your dog’s brain, body, and instincts through natural, regulated, emotionally safe experiences.
Add-Ons Include:
• STEM Time™ (problem solving, puzzles, scent paths)
• Backyard Romps
• Puzzle or Maze Work
• Movement Mazes
• Sensory Games
• Decompression Field Trips
• Mobile Agility Course Setup
These are grounded in the N.A.T.U.R.E.™ Framework (Natural Activities That Unlock Rewilded Expression™), honoring your dog’s emotional, physical, and instinctual needs.
🏘 Movement Zones™ (Consistency You Can Count On)
Each WagTime Companion™ is assigned to a specific Movement Zone™
A neighborhood-focused area sized intentionally to allow:
one dedicated Companion for your neighborhood
consistent care with the same person every time
familiar, predictable routes
deeper relationship-building
safer environmental awareness
emotional continuity for your dog
We do not rotate random walkers in and out.
We do not send whoever is available.
We do not expand zones so large that strangers end up at your door.
Your dog is always supported by their person someone who knows your streets, your neighborhood energy, and your dog’s emotional world.
Movement Zones™ are intentionally small so each Companion can build real relationships,
not manage a route list.
🦮 Neighborhood Pack Walk 🐕🦺
(Curated Social Walking)
When we notice dogs within the same Movement Zone™ who naturally enjoy each other or move well together, your Companion may offer a Neighborhood Pack Walk a calm, curated small-group walk designed around:
compatible personalities
similar movement rhythms
shared comfort levels
emotional safety
neighborhood familiarity
This is not a random pack walk.
This is relationship-based matching, grounded in observation and behavioral understanding.
✔ How It Works
As your Companion learns your dog’s personality and movement style, they may identify one or two other dogs who:
regulate well together
enjoy similar exploration patterns
have complementary nervous-system needs
already know each other from the neighborhood
would benefit from gentle social walking
When this happens, we offer a Neighborhood Pack Walk™ at a reduced rate, since one Companion is supporting multiple compatible dogs during the same outing.
Your dog is never placed with random dogs.
Pack Walks are offered only when it is emotionally safe, appropriate, and beneficial.
✔ Why It’s Valuable
Neighborhood Pack Walks help dogs:
build real friendships
strengthen neutrality
practice co-regulation
social fluency
enjoy social comfort without overwhelm
move naturally alongside familiar dogs
gain confidence in a soft, supported way
This is social walking done the right way intentional, safe, and rooted in emotional understanding.
💬 Have neighborhood dog friends already? Tell us!
If your dog already has comfortable neighborhood friendships, let us know.
We may be able to build a Neighborhood Pack Walk around their existing relationships saving you time and lowering your walk rate.
Shared walks = shared cost + shared joy.

🛋️ THE WOOF LOUNGE™ — A DIFFERENT KIND OF LODGING
Exclusive to Our Rewilding Community
A Safety-First, Relationship-First Retreat for Dogs We Know and Love
The Woof Lounge™ is not a boarding kennel.
It is a behavior-informed, relationship-based lodging experience designed for dogs who thrive on familiarity and emotional safety.
We do not accept dogs we’ve never met.
We only serve dogs who are already part of our Woof Houze community.
🌿 Why the Woof Lounge™ Is Different
Traditional boarding focuses on:
❌ crates and kennels
❌ high turnover
❌ loud, overstimulating spaces
❌ rotating staff
❌ dogs left alone to “adjust” on their own
The Woof Lounge is built entirely differently.
We focus on:
✔ nervous-system regulation
✔ emotional safety
✔ gentle routines
✔ quiet spaces
✔ predictable rhythms
✔ familiar caregivers
✔ sensory-centered comfort
✔ rewilding-based enrichment
✔ connection, not confinement
Your dog stays in a home-like environment where:
lights are softer
voices are gentle
movement is intentional
rhythms are predictable
overstimulation is prevented
your dog can rest, roam, and decompress
This is what modern lodging should feel like.
No crates.
No chaos.
No overwhelm.
🤝 Who We Are
The Lounge is led by Coach Andre & Coach Gabby and supported by behavior-informed WagTime Care Companions™.
All protocols are created under the behavioral leadership of Founder, Adia Shanee, whose work centers emotional safety, rewilded movement, and trauma-informed care.
Your dog is not left with “boarding staff.”
They’re with professionals who understand big feelings and emotional nuance.
🌙 24/7 On-Premise Care
Our care team lives on-site in private quarters, ensuring your dog is:
never alone
never unsupervised
always supported by familiar humans
This provides unmatched emotional safety compared to traditional boarding.
🧘♂️ A Typical Lounge Day Includes:
• Calm, predictable routines
No chaos, no overstimulation, no endless barking environments.
• Movement designed for their nervous system
Gentle enrichment, WagTime walks, or yard decompression not forced group play.
• Sensory-centered comfort
Soft textures, quiet corners, nature-forward materials, grounding experiences.
• Relationship-based care
Your dog is not “one of many.” They are known, seen, and emotionally supported.
• N.A.T.U.R.E.™-Aligned Experiences
Light integration of the rewilded activities that help dogs regulate and settle.
• Rest — real rest
Not pacing. Not panicking. Actual restorative rest, because the environment is designed for it.
Lodging is only available to families past and present who have an active relationship with Woof Houze through:
WagTime
Academy
Coaching
Events
This ensures your dog is supported by familiar humans in a safe emotional environment.
🛏️ Lounge Offerings
Daytime Lounge Care
For guardians who need support during the day in a calm, structured home environment.
Overnight Retreats
Perfect for guardians traveling or needing a safe, consistent place for their dog to stay.
Senior Support Stays
Gentle rhythms, comfort care, and emotional support designed for dogs in their golden years.
Stay & Learn™ Add-Ons

Why The Lounge Is Exclusive to Our Community
The Woof Lounge™ is only available to dogs who actively participate in:
WagTime
Academy
Coaching
Events
Why?
Because emotional safety requires familiarity.
If we haven’t built a relationship with your dog, we cannot safely support them in a lodging environment.
This exclusivity isn’t about limitation.
It’s about care, ethics, and ensuring every dog staying with us is genuinely safe and comfortable.
🐶 Acclimation Visit™ (Required for New Lounge Guests)
Before any overnight stay, your dog receives a 1–3 hour introduction session to:
explore the space
meet the humans
experience the rhythms
settle
show us who they are when they’re relaxed
We don’t “test.”
We observe, honor, and adjust the environment to support your dog’s emotional baseline.
Acclimation is how we ensure no dog is dropped into a new environment unprepared.
The Lounge Is Not Boarding. It Is Belonging.
Dogs here are not numbers.
They are not crate assignments.
They are not rotated through routines.
They are seen, known, and supported by people who understand their story and their sensitivity.
Your dog isn’t just lodging
they’re belonging to a community designed around their emotional wellbeing.
