History

Established in 2009.

I started professionally dog walking in 2000 and training in 2006. I started Bow Wow Ventures in 2009 because I wanted to develop the best dog service company in the Bay Area. I believe it is important to build a strong pet network for all of my client’s and potential client’s. If I am unable to provide you with the service or information you need I will do my best to direct you to someone who can.

Meet the Business Owner

Shasta M.

Business Owner

Shasta grew up on a farm playing with cows, horses and of course dogs. As an adult she would go to Point Isabel and walk her own pups and marvel at the different breeds and the dog walkers handling them. In 2000 Shasta and her partner started a dog walking company and through that experience Shasta fine tuned her dog handling skills. In 2001 Shasta met the inspiration for her to become a better dog handler and trainer, her dog Boris. He came to her with a ton of fears and aggression problems and through proper training she learned to handle his issues and guide him to be a better doggie citizen. She applied the techniques she learned while training Boris to her dog walking groups and the results were stunning.
