About | Lucy's Trails Chicago

Spring 2009

I started Lucy’s Trails because I wanted to be able to spend more time with my dog Lucy, and I wanted her to have friends. That sounds silly, but the idea of escaping the office life also played a big part. My goal was to offer ideal exercise and socialization for dogs that need more than the traditional 30 minute walk around the block. As any good hound, Lucy's favorite activity is hiking trails where she can track wild scents and chase chipmunks. Now I take my clients' dogs to all of Lucy's favorite parks and trails (hence the name "Lucy's Trails"). I only walk a small number of dogs, and it really feels like a club atmosphere. When I'm not walking dogs, I design websites at Tony Kim Design.
