Trek and Train

Walk - Train - Play

This is a dog walking training service combined with force-free reinforcement training. So you might not need a dog who can fetch you a beer from the fridge, but every dog needs to know the basics to be a well-mannered family member. Life is just easier and more fun when your dog knows how to listen to you. If your dog is a good dog who doesn't listen, this program can get you started with basic training around the home. I aim to help your dog have social etiquette when out in public, a reliable recall and play safe. The programs aim to put training foundations in place, so you to continue building on into the future and transfer the training techniques, cues and behavior observations to you.

It can be hard to find the time and energy to be consistent with walking, training and playing with your dog. So this is where I can help!

I will spend scheduled weekly time slot with your dog walking and training, and every few weeks work together one to one to reinforce the training and keep you on track and consistent for you and your dog at home, out and about.

I always approach our training with only positive methods, and force-free training is used. This ensures your dog’s safety and well-being is considered at all times. You and your dog will be set up to succeed and will be tailored to your dog’s needs.

This is great for all dogs and owners with verging degrees of behaviour problems, especially for dogs that struggle to be around other dogs or people.

Walk

Dogs need to walk, run, play, explore, sniff, and cool off in the water. I will ensure nice play, monitor energy levels for each dog’s safety, and maintain a good social and play dynamic when out on a public walk. I am happy to reinforce any training you are working on, just let us know

Train

Dogs need consistency to balance, which means that once they leave our care and return to your care, we need you to continue the lessons and teachings we’ve begun. After all, it’s what we all want. You and your dog to have a happy, healthy bond and relationship.

Play

With the supervision of outings, it allows your dog to explore our natural world while socializing with other dogs and learn correct interactions. All dogs are pre-screened for social skills, responsiveness and compatibility to ensure they are a good fit for our off-leash program. If your dog is not ready to be off lead, I will work on putting the foundation training in place for a good recall that you also can achieve.
