Walk the Walk Private Training $695
Being able to walk your dog - without being pulled all over - is “positively Life Changing” according to owners who previously struggled. The lesson package including a custom sized Herm-Sprenger or StarMark training collar with uniquely handcrafted Integrated Buckle & back-up link for safety.
A calm and structured walk is one of the most important leadership skills any owner can share with their dog. Work through undesired walk habits such as pulling, jumping up, lunging, weaving, marking, reacting to dogs, small animals, bikes, or other moving vehicles. Learn about spacial pressure and how to lead your dog more effectively with a loose leash.
At Lesson 1 - we custom fit the dog with the training collar and positively condition them to follow on leash. Trainer works with the dog, to achieve a structured walk. Once successful, the owner is taught the leash handling skills through practicing with their dog. Homework between lessons involves daily walking practice. In Lessons 2 & 3, we work one-on-one with owner to fine-tune both their & their dog’s skills.
These 3 lessons will teach you to lead your dog through the world with confidence.

When Private Lesson or Zoom appointments are booked, I confirm by sending a Venmo payment request. All packages and lessons must be paid in full at least 48 hours prior to scheduled visit. I offer Evaluation Consultations to new clients via Zoom for a one-time fee of $100. The individual private lesson rate is $200 per hour.
