What our Training Walk Program is all About
Piper has been doing training walks with us for a few years. She’s not quite the right fit for a pack hike. She is dog selective and can be overwhelmed in certain social situations.
However, she has really enjoyed our training walk program. She gets to work on training skills like loose leash walking, recall in distracting environments, and impulse control around prey animals. She gets to go to a variety of different locations like the beach and several different local parks. She still gets to hang out with other dogs and work on her social skills during her training walks too. Over the past few years we have brought specific dogs who will match her energy and play style on her walks. She has been introduced to them in a low stress way that meets her specific needs and has been able to build productive and safe relationships with them.
Our training walk program came from a desire to make a walking program for dogs like Piper who needed more than an average walk and wanted to have safe and productive interactions with other dogs while meeting their specific needs. She’s made a lot of progress during these training walks and we have very much enjoyed having her in our program.
We will have openings for our training walk program and pack hike program this Spring. Spots for our program fill up fast, please reach out if you want more info or want to sign your dog up!
