Walk + Train

Rates

30 minutes: $35

1 hour: $60

Walk + Train combines exercise with intentional skill-building during real-world walks, providing both physical activity and meaningful mental engagement. Sessions are structured to improve behaviors such as loose-leash walking, handler engagement, calm responses to distractions, dog neutrality, and polite manners while reinforcing foundational cues and confidence.

Rather than simply providing movement, Walk + Train sessions focus on helping dogs learn how to navigate their environment successfully. This approach supports clearer communication, better habits, and more relaxed walking experiences over time.

Each session is tailored to your dog’s temperament, learning pace, and goals, creating a supportive environment for progress without overwhelming them. Walk + Train sessions are conducted with one dog at a time to allow for focused attention, clear communication, and the most effective learning experience.

Ideal for dogs who pull on leash, struggle with focus, react to distractions, or would benefit from additional structure and guidance during outings. After each session, you’ll receive an update with photos and notes on progress so you can stay informed and involved in your dog’s development.

Note: Walk + Train focuses on skill reinforcement and improvement and is not intended to replace comprehensive behavior modification programs for severe behavioral concerns.

Puppy Socialization sessions are all about setting your puppy up for a calm, confident future. We gently guide them through safe, positive exposure to other dogs, people, and everyday environments while helping them learn how to stay relaxed around distractions.

You’ll also get simple, practical coaching so you know exactly how to continue socializing your puppy at home without overthinking it. We keep things clear and doable.

The goal is a puppy who can take the world in stride—friendly, steady, and comfortable without getting overwhelmed or overly reactive.

Enrichment Training

Rates

1 hour: $60

Adventure outing +$10

Enrichment Training is designed for dogs who already know the basics and are ready for more. We add structured training time to keep their minds active, build on existing skills, and introduce new challenges in a way that feels fun and rewarding for them.

This is where training becomes more than obedience; it’s mental work, confidence building, and skill refinement all in one. We focus on keeping dogs engaged, thoughtful, and responsive so their training actually holds up in the real world. It’s all about giving your dog the mental stimulation and “next level” learning they naturally thrive on, while strengthening their ability to focus, problem-solve, and stay connected to their handler.
