Born and Raised in Tucson, AZ – Professional Dog Walker With a High-Tech Twist

The owner and professional dog walker at Tucson Paws with his EUC

Hi, my name is Brian, and I’m proud to call Tucson, Arizona my hometown. Growing up surrounded by the stunning Sonoran Desert and a strong sense of community, I developed a deep love and respect for animals from an early age—especially dogs. That lifelong passion turned into a professional mission: helping busy pet owners give their dogs the physical exercise, mental stimulation, and joyful companionship they need every day.

That’s why I founded Happy Paws Tucson—a local dog walking service built on care, energy, and innovation. I understand that modern life can be hectic. Work, family, and other commitments can often leave little time for your furry best friend’s daily exercise. That’s where I come in, offering more than just a walk—I offer a full-on canine adventure that keeps your dog healthy, happy, and tail-waggingly satisfied.

To deliver the most exciting and efficient experience possible, I’ve added a modern twist to my service: the InMotion V14 electric unicycle. This advanced, high-performance mobility device allows me to move smoothly and safely alongside your dog, whether we’re cruising through a neighborhood park, jogging down a quiet trail, or burning off energy with a fast-paced sprint. I can effortlessly match the pace of any breed—whether it’s the lightning speed of a Greyhound or the calm, steady trot of a Golden Retriever—while maintaining full control and safety at all times.

I offer fully customized walks, runs, and play sessions tailored to your dog’s unique breed, energy level, and personality. Safety is always my top priority. I use high-visibility gear, secure leashes, and route planning to ensure every outing is smooth and incident-free. My bilingual skills (English and Spanish) also help me connect with a wide range of clients across Tucson’s diverse communities.

If you want your dog to get the best mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and pure fun—while you're at work or busy with life—Happy Paws Tucson is here to help. Let’s give your pup the attention and freedom they deserve, one ride at a time.

The InMotion V14 Advantage

Using an electric unicycle (EUC) isn't just a gimmick; it directly enhances your dog's walk in several key ways.

Enhanced Exercise & Enrichment: More Than Just a Walk—A Full Canine Experience

Traditional leash walks are great—but for many dogs, especially high-energy breeds, they simply aren’t enough. That’s where my approach with the InMotion V14 electric unicycle (EUC) truly changes the game. By combining advanced mobility with a deep understanding of canine needs, I offer a level of physical and mental engagement that far exceeds a typical walk around the block.

Using the EUC allows me to travel faster and farther, opening up a whole new realm of exercise possibilities. For athletic, energetic dogs like Huskies, Vizslas, German Shepherds, Border Collies, and Labradors, this means the chance to really open up their stride—to run freely, naturally, and safely at their ideal pace. Instead of being limited by the speed of a human jog, these dogs get the cardiovascular workout they truly need. This kind of consistent, high-quality exercise not only improves their physical health but also reduces stress, curbs destructive behavior, and helps prevent common issues like excessive barking or chewing caused by boredom and built-up energy.

But my service goes beyond physical activity—it’s also about mental enrichment. Dogs thrive on stimulation, and the extended range of the V14 means we can go well beyond the familiar sidewalks. We explore new parks, scenic trails, and different neighborhoods during every session. These changing environments create what I call “sniffaris”—an immersive sensory experience that fully engages your dog’s powerful sense of smell.

Science backs it up: sniffing is like reading the news for dogs—it stimulates their brain, lowers their heart rate, and releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine. A 30-minute “sniffari” can be more mentally satisfying than a basic hour-long walk with no variety. With every new scent, sound, and texture, your dog is not just moving their body—they’re exploring, thinking, and learning.

This is where Happy Paws Tucson sets itself apart: it's not just a walk. It's a carefully crafted adventure that supports your dog’s overall well-being—mind, body, and spirit. And thanks to the EUC, I can cover more ground in less time, maximizing the value of every session and ensuring your dog returns home not just tired, but happy, calm, and fulfilled.

Safety & Training with the EUC

Walking a dog with a moving vehicle demands exceptional care and preparation. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority, and I follow a strict protocol:

  • Gradual Introduction: Dogs are introduced to the EUC slowly and positively, first while it's stationary, then by walking alongside it, before any riding begins.
  • Proper Equipment: I always use a secure, comfortable harness—never a choke collar. The leash is managed carefully to ensure it stays clear of the wheel at all times.
  • Pacing and Commands: I let the dog set the pace, starting slowly and only increasing speed to a level they can comfortably sustain. Clear voice commands for "walk," "stop," "left," and "right" are reinforced.
  • Safe Routes: I choose wide, quiet routes like bike paths and avoid busy streets or crowded sidewalks. I am always mindful of surface conditions, especially hot pavement in the Tucson sun.
  • Hydration & Visibility: I carry fresh water and offer it frequently. For early morning or evening walks, I use reflective gear for both myself and your dog to ensure we are highly visible.

The Science of a Happy Dog

Regular walks are not a luxury; they are a cornerstone of your dog's well-being, backed by veterinary science.

Physical Well-being

  • Weight Management: Helps burn calories and prevent obesity.
  • Joint & Muscle Health: Keeps joints limber and builds supporting muscle.
  • Cardiovascular Fitness: Strengthens the heart and lungs.
  • Digestive & Urinary Health: Regulates bowel and bladder routines.

Behavioral Harmony

  • Reduces Destructive Behavior: Provides a constructive outlet for pent-up energy.
  • Promotes Calmness: A tired dog is a happy, calm dog.
  • Builds Social Skills: Exposure builds confidence and reduces fear or aggression.

Mental & Emotional Joy

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Exploring new environments keeps their brain sharp.
  • Reduces Stress & Anxiety: Activity is a natural stress-reliever for dogs.
  • Strengthens Bonding: Helps your dog feel secure and content.

Consequences of an Inactive Lifestyle

Failing to meet a dog's exercise needs can lead to a host of physical, mental, and behavioral problems.

General Effects of Not Walking a Dog

Breed-Specific Consequences

What If You Can't Walk Your Dog?

Life happens. We understand that between demanding schedules, the intense Tucson heat, or personal mobility challenges, providing a daily adventure isn't always feasible. While indoor games and puzzle toys are excellent, they can't replace the robust physical release and sensory experience of exploring the outdoors. This is why I am committed to providing your dog with the freedom to fully engage their mind and body—they not only deserve it, they need it to thrive. My service bridges that gap, ensuring your dog receives the vital exercise and enrichment essential for a happy, healthy life, even when you can't be the one holding the leash.
