Katya Choroszewski - Katya is a Fernie resident and dog owner who has taken a daily activity to a whole new level. "I love walking my dog and it struck me that I could be providing this service for other people. I have friends who work and just can't give their dog a big walk of the day, so I set up 'Happy Hounds'. It's more than a walk, it's an adventure! Your dog will head out with me on one of the local trails and we'll go snow-shoeing or cross country skiing in the winter, walking and swimming in the summer".

If you are interested in having a dog-walking service then Katya offers a no-obligation "Meet and Greet" with you and your dog, to get to know you and your dog and find out what you need.

Aside from dogs, Katya is interested in xc skiing, mt biking, yoga, trail running and travelling.

Parker – Parker is a very big, five-year old German Shepherd/ Malamute cross who adores Happy Hounds! He is Katya’s right-hand companion. He is respectful of the more seniorly dogs, and keeps up with the play of the exuberant pups. He loves playing fetch, digging in the snow, treats, napping on the couch, and riding in the van. Parker looks forward to meeting you!!

Bo Choroszewski – Bo is Katya’s husband and provides her with incredible support and inspiration! Without Bo’s help, Happy Hounds surely would have remained a ‘what if’ idea. He accompanies Katya on many Happy Hounds adventures, and takes out a few of his own when required!

Aside from dogs, Bo is passionate about the outdoors, enjoys tinkering on his old Scout, and is always up for an adventure!
