Not every dog thrives in chaotic dog parks. On the contrary, some need a calm, guided space to learn how to interact politely with other pups.  Occasionally, the team offers trainer-supervised dog socialization sessions designed to improve manners, reduce reactivity, and build confidence, all while your dog has fun.

To start, every dog must pass a temperament assessment with our professional trainer. Upon approval, your pup is welcome to join our small group play sessions. These social outings blend structured interaction with free play, creating the ideal setting to develop positive communication and reduce unwanted behaviors that may show up during dog walking or potty break routines.

💬 Why Socialization Matters

*  Reinforces appropriate dog-to-dog behavior
*  Reduces fear, frustration, and overexcitement on walks
*  Supports better outcomes in dog leash training
*  Helps meet your dog’s daily exercise and enrichment needs

🐶 Eligibility Requirements:

*  Current on core vaccinations (Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo)
*  Successful completion of a 30-minute trainer-led temperament test
*  Signed liability waiver on file

🌟 After each session, your pup will come home tired, fulfilled, and better equipped to handle canine social situations with confidence.

Temperament Assessment (Required)
 >  1st dog -  $65
 >  2nd and 3rd dogs (same household)  -  $45

All-Dog Social – 3-Hour Play Session
 >  Initial Dog - $25
 >  Multiple Dogs  -  $20

Puppy Social – 2-Hour Play Session
 >  Each Puppy  -  $20

To sum up, consistent socialization improves your dog’s leash behavior, reduces stress on walks, and gives them a healthy outlet for energy. Without further ado, contact us to schedule a temperament test and see how play can become a powerful training tool.

First and foremost, walking your dog should be enjoyable, definitely not a daily struggle. Unfortunately, leash pulling, reactivity, and unpredictable behaviors turn a peaceful stroll into a chore for many pet parents. Even worse, walks may stop altogether, leading to built-up energy, worsened in-home behavior, and a weakened bond.

However, leash issues don’t mean you're failing as an owner. Rather, it means your dog needs guidance, and so do you. For these reasons, customized dog leash training sessions were created.

Second, led by Kristie, a certified force-free dog trainer, these sessions combine structured dog walking with hands-on coaching. You’ll learn how to teach polite leash manners while boosting your dog’s confidence in real-world situations.

🐾 Walk & Train Sessions Focus On:

*  Teaching loose-leash walking skills through positive reinforcement
*  Addressing reactivity like barking, lunging, or pulling
*  Improving focus around distractions like other dogs, people, or wildlife
*  Creating a more enjoyable daily potty break or walk

🔄 Training Tailored to You

Third, sessions are completely personalized. In fact, Kristie often brings her own neutral dogs to help model calm behavior or simulate real-life triggers in a safe, controlled way.

✅ Always Fear-Free and Reward-Based

Last but not least, we never use prong, choke, or shock collars. Instead, our reward-based dog leash training prioritizes your dog’s emotional wellbeing. We set both ends of the leash, you and your dog, up for long-term success.

Still wondering if dog leash training will help your pup? Consider the following:

*  Does your dog pull, bark, or lunge on walks?
*  Have you stopped walking altogether due to stress or safety concerns?
*  Are you starting fresh with a new puppy and want to build great leash habits?
*  Would expert guidance from a force-free, reward-based dog walker give you peace of mind?

If you answered yes to any of these, you're not alone and you're in the right place.  Walk & Train sessions are built to reduce frustration and restore the joy of walking your dog.

✨ Together, we’ll help you reconnect through calm, controlled, and confidence-building walks.
