Training Walks
What are Training Walks?
A training walk, is a one hour session with a trainer, where the focus is not just on taking a walk, but incorporates basic obedience commands during the walk process. It is also a great way to give your dog periodic booster training after your initial training investment. You dont want your dogs training to fall behind, and for some, it is hard to keep up with it as diligently as you should to maintain training and commands. Commands that are learned include but are not limited to :
Sit, Heel, Down, Place and Threshold / Barrier Allowances.
NOT ALL commands are learned in a single walk, typically we work on mastering at least one or two commands in a given walk, but it is not unusual for many commands to be utilized during a single walk to establish an overall program of what your dog should do over time. Best results come from multiple walks being done to condition your dog to the new or corrected behaviors.
If you are doing booster walks after your training, your dog will review and work on ALL commands learned during their training sessions and will learn new commands or training levels as they are able to.
TRAINING WALKS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DURING EXTREME WEATHER however these sessions are covered to indoor training activity sessions indoors.
Why Training Walks?
Walking your dogs is one of the best ways to quickly establish a relationship with your dog as its guide and guardian in your relationship with them. They learn to accept your direction as their security and protection, get exercise that is essential to their training program, learn socialization and how to become less sensitive of sounds such as Cars passing by, Fire Engine sounds etc. For Many dogs, the WALK is the foundation to their acceptance of YOU as their leader / guardian. By engaging in training walks, it also allows you dog the opportunity to learn that no matter who has the other end of the leash, they should behave the same due to the walks we give, and the on going walks you provide afterwards.
How do we Start?
If you would like to get started with Training walks, the first step is to SET UP A WALK COSULT. ( Available in the Coachella Valley and Surrounding areas ). If you have already had a consult or are a returning client, please reach out direct for your scheduling link to be sent to you.
During your walk consult, this is a time for us to meet and greet to discuss your overall goals and commands most important to your needs, and our trainer is able to assess your dogs temperament and current obedience level to determine if Training Walks are a Solid solution to helping you get your dog where you would like them to be.
For maximum results, it is always best to set up for a Training walk multi pack so consistency can be a part of the learning process for your dog. The more consistency your dog has, the better the results will be. As with any of our training options, once your dog returns from the walks, your trainer will show you what was learned for the walk, and how you can best maintain the days lesson on going until the next lesson.
