Walk & Train

Training-Focused Walks for Real-Life Success

Walk & Train is an enrichment-based service designed to support your dog’s learning, regulation, and daily routines.

Sessions may include neighborhood walks, skill practice, or in-home enrichment activities such as scent work, movement games, or calm engagement—depending on your wishes, your dog’s needs, the environment, and the day.

After each session, you receive simple updates so you know what we practiced and how to stay consistent between visits.

Walk & Train is a good fit if you are looking for:

  • Enrichment-focused sessions that support learning and emotional wellbeing

  • Practice with attention and engagement in real-world contexts

  • Support navigating everyday neighborhood environments at your dog’s pace

  • Reinforcement of polite leash manners and daily routines

  • A consistent, training-informed rhythm for your dog’s week

What to Expect

  • You do not need to be home during the walk

  • Sessions are 30–45 minutes in your neighborhood, home, or nearby environments

  • Each visit includes a brief text follow up

  • Walk & Train can be used on its own or paired with other services

Walk & Train is not a replacement for Day Training or comprehensive behavior modification. For more intensive skill building or complex behavior concerns, Private Coaching or Day Training will be a better fit.
