How Training Walks Work?
I collect and walk your dog. During the walk, I use reward-based training in real-life environments to practise useful skills while your dog still gets the exercise and stimulation they need.
You will receive a full update after each walk, so you know how the walk went and what we have been working on.

What to Expect from
Training Walks
Before We Start
We discuss your goals and any specific areas you would like to focus on. This can happen during a free 15-minute call before the walks begin.
First Walk
For the first walk, I ask owners to be present so I can meet your dog properly and make sure they feel comfortable before future solo training walks.
During the Walks
During the walks, I practise the skills you would like to improve, such as recall, loose lead walking, engagement outdoors, calmer behaviour around distractions, and focus.
After Walk
After each walk, you’ll receive notes and updates on what we worked on, your dog’s progress, and suggestions for continued practice at home.
