Train & Walks are only available to clients that have done a private session and are actively involved in training with me. Not all dogs will benefit from Train & Walks and therefore they are not guaranteed to each dog that does a private session. Many dogs need more work with their owners rather than working one-on-one with me! 

 

The Train & Walk Program allows me to work with your dog one-on-one. I focus on your specific training goals and therefore each walk I have with a dog is tailored for their needs. Some common things that I work on during these sessions include: 

​

• Confidence Building & Exposure To New Environments: During a dog's allotted walk time I will bring them to a new place (ex. park, shopping complex, pet friendly store) to work on confidence and generalizing behaviours to new environments. 

• Leash Reactivity: I work quite frequently with dogs who are reactive towards dogs, people, cars etc. 

• Leash Manners: I focus primarily on teaching loose leash walking and teaching dogs to check-in with their handlers. 

• Basic Manners: I can address issues like jumping up and self-rewarding behaviours like stealing things off the ground during walks.

​

Owners receive detailed videos after each walk that show what their dog worked on and how to replicate that themselves. It is strongly recommended to book a training session if you are interested in the Train & Walk program. Your dog will progress much quicker if you are following the same rules at home!
