Our members enjoy
As Atlanta's only team-based canine enrichment membership, we bring years of hands-on experience to prioritizing your dog's well-being. Our enrichment-based approach to care is customized to meet your dog's physical, mental, and instinctual needs, helping them lead happy, fulfilled lives while strengthening the bond between dogs and their families.
Our approach to dog care goes far beyond a quick walk around the block. Each visit is designed to engage the many ways dogs experience the world, through movement, scent, exploration, problem-solving, and purposeful interaction. Some days your dog may follow an interesting trail of smells along the sidewalk. Other days they may search for treats hidden in the grass, practice balance on natural surfaces, or work through a simple puzzle that encourages curiosity and focus.
These moments of exploration engage the different forms of enrichment dogs naturally seek: physical activity, scent work, foraging, mental challenges, and environmental discovery. As part of our membership, your dog also receives enrichment activities and games each month, thoughtfully rotated to include our Enrichment Toy of the Month, so they are continually experiencing something new. When dogs regularly use their instincts in healthy ways, something powerful happens: they are happier, more confident, and deeply satisfied.
Behind every visit is a carefully trained professional team. Our Canine Enrichment Specialists are dedicated employees who receive ongoing education in canine behavior, safety, and enrichment practices. Each team member is thoroughly screened and professionally trained, so you can trust that your dog is always in capable and compassionate hands.

Your Dog Enjoys Walk With Tailored Enrichment
Posted on Google T.A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been using Praline’s Backyard since Feb 2026 and can’t say enough good things. First and foremost, every single walker is incredibly loving, kind, and patient with our dogs. I feel like they treat them with the love and care they treat their own dogs. We have cameras, and whenever I have rewatched a clip, I am always so impressed. It’s clear that the dog walkers are vetted and trained carefully. They even did a few visits at the tail-end of my puppy recovering from major emergency surgery, and they were so careful and incredible with her. On the more logistical side, they are extremely communicative and the owner is so responsive. I love the app they use because it notifies me when they arrive for a walk, leave, and all walkers leave great after-visit notes with some of the most amazing pictures and videos. I also love that I can see a GPS map of where they walked and that they can message me when they’re with her in case anything comes up. I think they are worth every penny and highly recommend!Posted on Google Brittany JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orazie and her team at Praline's Backyard Dog Services are truly exceptional. I have four fur babies, each with a big personality, and they care for them as if they were their own. Knowing my dogs are in such loving and capable hands allows me to travel with complete peace of mind and fully enjoy vacations with my family. Not only do they make sure my pets are well cared for, but they also spend quality time with them, playing with them outside and giving them the attention and exercise they need. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. What impresses me most is their reliability and flexibility. On more than one occasion, I've had unexpected family emergencies that required me to leave town on short notice. Even when reaching out through the app at the last minute, Orazie and her team have gone above and beyond to accommodate my pets' needs. Another thing I greatly appreciate is the respect they show for my home. Every time I return, my house is clean, organized, and left exactly as I left it. That level of care and professionalism gives me even greater confidence in their services. Their compassion, dedication, and attention to detail are unmatched. I am incredibly grateful for the care they provide and highly recommend Orazie and her team to anyone looking for trustworthy, dependable, and loving pet care. Thank you for your amazing care and service -BrittanyPosted on Google Essence LoweTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in on a promo and had the best experience! Orazie started off with my dog Milo until he got use to the new routine where he was then introduced to a new walker! Both were amazing. Milo enjoy his daily walks, puzzle time, and all the love and attention when I was away at work. Definitely saw a difference in his behavior and overall seemed like a much happier dog. They take pictures and send a daily report of your walk and all the activities they did….loved the updates and the cute pictures. Unfortunately, I moved out of the city, so wasn’t able to keep up with the service. But when I do move back in the area this is the dog service I would definitely use again and I highly recommend them if you’re curious about adding some extra fun to your dogs routine.Posted on Google Cassandra BrooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Orazie and Praline’s Backyard Dog Services! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with my dog. Her communication is excellent, always keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and I trust her completely with my pup. Thank you for the outstanding care!Posted on Google Trevor TorresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Praline’s team has been great to work with from our initial background meeting through our weekly walking services. They are super attentive to our pups needs who can be anxious, and they do everything they can to make him feel safe and comfortable. We love to see post-walk pictures and videos from Michael who has become one of our pups best friends in just a short time.Posted on Google BlondieasiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this service. It was easy to book for my dog and they are prompt. Orazie is very accommodating, friendly and knows how to handle my pet. She is professional and nice. My dog enjoyed her trip.Posted on Google Stephanie GainesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Praline’s Backyard has made an exemplary difference in Whiskey’s life! He gets so excited knowing that he will have a fun filled learning experience. The service has been impeccable and as a new dog owner, I’ve learned so much and seen a great difference in the behavior of my beloved Whiskey! I recommend PB to any and everyone!Posted on Google Dean FurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worth every penny. We've been using Pralines the last few months after our older dog walker retired and could not be more pleased. Very responsive, easy to navigate app to book services, top-notch customer service, we (and our dogs) could not be happier.Posted on Google Lew WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a fantastic experience with Praline’s Backyard! Their professionalism and true dedication to pet care really stood out to me. I had to head out of town for a trip, and Orazie (the Founder, CEO and president) completely put my mind at ease. She personally made sure my dog was taken care of from start to finish, no stress and no worries on my end at all. She picked him up right from my home, safely transported him to his boarding facility, and even kept me updated with the cutest pictures and little updates about his journey. What really impressed me was that she did the exact same thing on the return, picking him up and bringing him safely back home. The entire process was seamless, easy, and honestly such a relief while I was traveling. You can tell she truly cares, and that level of attention and dedication means everything when it comes to our pets. I highly recommend Praline’s Backyard for any pet services, especially if you need a reliable pet taxi, dog walking, or just someone you can truly trust with your furry family member!Posted on Google Dana RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This service has blessed me and my dog Louie so much. I know they care for my dog and they take care of him. He loves to see them coming and I appreciate them leaning in especially when I’m traveling. Thank you so much! Please consider using this service - you won’t be disappointed.
