Walking & Training
In the warmer months, we shift gears to offer on-leash walking and training services. Keeping dogs active is important, and we've seen some owners struggle with training loose leash skills.
​
Many dogs today are also very shy, nervous, or overly excited about the world around them! Reactivity doesn't mean that a dog is "bad". Reactivity can include
-
Barking at people or dogs
-
Pulling or obsessing over "meeting" everyone or everything
-
Being skittish or trying to "escape"
-
Lunging or nipping
Our goal is to support training that allows owners to get outside with their dog(s) and actually have a pleasant time doing it!

Group Walks
Do you want your dog to get out during the day? Our group walks are a more cost-effective way to get your dog out regularly. Walks are between 45min and 1 hour long, during which dogs are rewarded for loose leash skills, ignoring distractions, and being neutral around other dogs in the group.
Dogs will need prior experience walking on a loose leash (see Private Sessions). They will need to be okay with crate travel. Group walks occur regularly, with groups walking once or twice a week.
Group walks are $30/dog/walk (additional dogs at the same pickup location $20/walk)
