Dog Walking Training

Available Monday to Friday, walks are tailored to the individual dog. Whether you have a young bundle of energy who loves chasing after balls, or a quieter, more sedate dog who prefers to plod around at a slower pace, we believe that a walk is the time of the day that dogs should be able to enjoy themselves in their own favourite way.

Dogs can be walked individually or together but no more than two at a time. Walks usually take place in the woods or other outdoor areas (e.g. The Downs in Laverstock) and parks and fields for ball chasing.

There is nothing more pleasing than having passers-by compliment you on your well-trained dog. Meanwhile a large percentage of dogs in rehoming centres are there because their owners couldn't handle them due to insufficient training. There is a saying "You can't teach old dogs new tricks", this is incorrect, you can it just takes more time. While I recommend training puppies as early as possible to avoid problems later on, don't think that if you get an older dog it can't be trained.

We can train any age and any size of dog but you must be willing to keep the work up. If we had trained the most obedient dog and the owners stopped using our advice it would return to its unruly habits. However unlike some other trainers we don't just train the dog to do what we say, we work with owners to make sure that they will have the same success in handling the dog as us.
