Welcome to FolkTail Dogs - a 100% force & fear-free dog walking and drop-in service.

About Me
Hi! My name is Becky or "Bex" Teman and since 2018, I’ve been volunteering and working at Worcester Animal Rescue League, both training and walking shelter dogs to help prepare them for their future homes. I discovered my passion for fear-free training while volunteering and decided to make a career out of it. With three dogs of my own, two of which are rescues, I understand wanting the very best care for your furry family members.
I am currently enrolled at The Academy for Dog Trainers, where I am studying dog behavior and fear-free training techniques. I look forward to earning my certification and training full-time. Until then, I provide walking services as well as some basic training based on my current skill set.
I'm 100% dedicated to ensuring that every animal I work with is safe & happy in every situation. I'm always learning about new force-free techniques and pride myself on improving my skill set so that I can provide the best care for the dogs that I work with.

What i Offer
FolkTail Dogs is a 100% fear and force-free company. This means that I do not endorse or use any tools or methods that use pain or fear, (included but not limited to: shock collars or e-collars, prong collars, choke collars, leash jerks, etc). Folktail Dogs follows the science, which tells us that not only are these methods inhumane, they can cause aggression and fear issues in many dogs.
Dog Walking
I will come to your home and take your dog out for a walk! Just give me the details on your dog's walking style, equipment, reactivity issues, and any other details you'd like me to know. Billed in 30 minute increments. $5 adder for second dog.* **
$35
Drop-Ins
Do you have a dog that's not really into walking or has physical limitations? Just need someone to check in on them when you're at work or away for long hours? This service is for you! I will come to your home and let your dog out, feed them, hang out with them, play with them, etc. Billed in 20-minute increments. $5 adder for each additional pet.
$25
Sniffaris
What's a sniffari? It's a walk, usually on a longer leash, where the dog leads the way with their nose. I will come to your home, take your dog out, and let them sniff their way around while taking their time. Studies show that letting dogs utilize their natural urges to take in scents and investigate their surroundings is enriching and stimulating for them. A lot of dogs are more exhausted from a sniffari than a normal, fast-paced, hurried walk. Billed in 40 minute increments. $5 adder for a second dog.* **
$45
*Don't have a great walking neighborhood? For an extra $10, I will take your dog out to another location.
**Every dog is different, so walks may vary by a few minutes. Billed in set increments, regardless of time variance.
