Group Walk and Trains are designed to help busy pawents keep up or create consistency in their dogs life. Not only is it great weekday exercise for your dog, but it is also an opportunity for your dog to learn new skills such as (but not limited to) 

• Learning to hold a "sit" or "down" for extended periods of time in various locations 

• Loose leash walking; walking with slack in the lead

• Having confidence in unfamiliar areas 

• Impulse control 

• Engagement skills 

• Off leash skills 

  • Recall 

  • Leave it 

  • With me 

Of course, we all start somewhere!

Each dog is required a minimum of 2 private training walks before they can join group walks. The number of these walks varries for each dog. Some dogs are able to join group walks after their second session, others need to be in private walks for a few weeks before they are ready to join.

The goal of these private training sessions is to teach your dog basic leash manners. Basic Leash Manners can include but are not limited to: 

• Slack in the lead when walking

  • Alongside with the understanding of what to do when at the end of the leash 

• The ability to walk by other dogs with little to no reaction 

  • If your dog is reactive, thats okay! Just another thing to work on in our private training sessions 

• The ability to follow basic obedience in new, stimulating environments

  • Sit, down, stay etc. 

Of course, I don't expect your dog to go from zero to one hundred in a matter of a few weeks. The goal is to teach them a basic understanding of right and wrong in private sessions giving them the opportunity to follow suit of the other dogs in our groups.
