Meet Your Dog's New Adventure Crew
We're a family-run team of lifelong dog lovers and avid outdoorsmen based in Ocean Park. What Up Dog was founded by Ed Kingston, who grew up surrounded by animals on the family ranch in Utah. That upbringing stuck with him, and so did the belief that dogs are happiest when they're outside, moving, exploring, and experiencing something new.
Our pug Kofi is part of the crew and joins us on many of our walks and adventures. We treat every dog like one of our own and tailor each outing to their personality, energy level, and comfort. No two weeks look exactly the same—we're always finding new trails, changing up the routine, and looking for ways to make your dog's day a little more exciting.
WHY CHOOSE WHAT UP DOG?
MORE THAN A WALK
We focus on exercise, enrichment, and getting dogs out into the world. We want to be the best part of your dog's day.
LOCAL & FAMILY-RUN
We've spent nearly 10 years in West LA raising our own pups, exploring the area, and getting to know the trails like the back of our hand.
PERSONAL
We keep it small. We don't take on huge packs or try to operate like a corporation. We want clients who feel like an extension of our family, and your dog sees the same familiar people day after day.
