In-Person Dog Training Services For Pet Parents in Seattle
Training Walks
Is your dog or puppy struggling to take their skills from home to the real world? Do they seem to ‘forget’ known cues or get distracted by every little thing on walks? Whether it's other dogs, playful kids, squirrels darting around, or unexpected noises, navigating the neighborhood can be overwhelming.
Our training walks are designed to help your dog stay focused, work through distractions, and move past "scary" things calmly. We'll practice essential skills like sitting, waiting, loose leash walking, polite greetings, ignoring distractions, and even tackling mild to moderate leash reactivity.
For dogs with more intense fear or reactivity, starting with a behavior modification plan is the best approach. If that sounds like your dog, click here to schedule a consultation.

We’ll visit your home to meet you and your dog, ensuring a comfortable introduction and gathering the important details to offer the best care
During the meet & greet, we’ll:

Discuss the service(s) you’re interested in and your dog’s daily routine, personality, and preferences.

Ask questions to better understand your dog, including:
-
-
What training has your dog had? What are your training goals moving forward?
-
Does your dog display any behaviors we should be aware of, such as guarding or reactivity?
-
Is your dog comfortable around other dogs, especially in close quarters (e.g., traveling in a van)?
-
What is your dog’s play style? Are they ball-obsessed, sniffers, wrestlers, or fans of a good chase?
-
How familiar is your dog with long-leash walks, and how well do they walk on a leash?
-
Next Steps:
-
If our dog park adventures seem like a good fit, we’ll schedule a trial run to see how your dog gets along with the group.

For leashed walks or other services, we’ll confirm the schedule and get started right away!
