Walk N Train sessions are designed to educate you on the correct exercise needs of your dog. This is dependent on the breed.
Very few dogs want to walk at a slow pace, on the left side, not allowed to sniff, while mum chats on the phone, sips a latte and pays little attention to her pooch.
(If this is what you want me to train your dog to do, please go find a group trainer!)
Walking your dog is a way to ensure your pooch is getting their daily dose of breed related enrichment and exercise. Hunters need to hunt
Chasers need to chase
Retrievers need to retrieve
Get it?
And dogs do not walk in a straight line!
They need to sniff, they must sniff, this is a dogs twitter. Sniffing gives them information, and to reach a scent, a dog needs room to move.
So we teach you how to walk your dog using long leads. How to get your dog to stop, wait, turn, to leave things alone, go in different direction, give way to people, leaving the house calmly, all on a long leash that allows them to still do what dogs do.
Our Walk N Train sessions are held at various venues, including: public spaces, around your neighborhood or in your own backyard. Find venue information here
