Do you dread taking your dog for a walk? Does your dog turn what’s suppose to be a stress free enjoyable walk into a nightmare?
The walk is hands down one of the most important roles in building your relationship with your dog which is done through leadership, structure and teaching your dog impulse control. So if your dog is pulling, dragging you down the street, reactive/aggressive towards dogs, people, bikes, skateboards etc.; marking every bush, and generally making your daily walk a stressful part of the day.
It does not have to be that way! if the walk is anything but a pleasurable and relaxing experience, don’t waste another day being frustrated with your dog. With the right tools, strategies, and approach, you can massively improve your walk, and bond with your pup.
Walk dog-tor is 2 sessions (total 3 hrs.) in this program you will be given the right tools to not only address and significantly improve all of the issues you are having on the walk, but will also greatly improve your bond between you and your best friend through Leadership and Structure.
Price: $200.00, plus cost of prong collar
I will assess your dog in its home environment and put together a comprehensive approach/plan to work towards achieving your goals, whether they be obedience
and/or behavioral issues.
In this program we will go over any issues on the walk(lunging, barking, growling, pulling, reacting to other dogs, etc.) as well as all of the basic commands on-leash, Sit/Stay, Down/Stay, Place, Come/Recall. We will also address behavior problems, such as jumping up, mouthing, nipping, counter surfing, or any other issues you
may be experiencing.

What is the Doggie Boot Camp Program?
Our programs work because we focus on your dog’s state of mind, not their issues. Most issues are just side effects of the real problem. The real problem is nearly always a lack of structure, rules, and boundaries. Most people give a dog ultimate freedom without realizing that this is the opposite of what a dog actually wants. Dogs want you to tell them what to do; if you’re not, you’re probably experiencing problems.
So, what exactly will your dog be doing during his/her stay? From the first moment we meet your dog, we will be implementing strict rules and boundaries. This covers quite a vast scale of behaviors like;
- Whining
- Jumping
- Barking
- Dog on Dog aggression
- Separation Anxiety
- Reactivity on Leash
- Fear
- Counter Surfing
- Crate training
- Food and/or resource guarding
We teach and utilize basic obedience commands in order to help build a solid relationship. Your dog will learn the basics of walking on the leash, sit/stay, down/stay, place and come/recall. We utilize each of these commands in our general day-to-day activities in order to add a more clear structure to their lifestyle.
Combine all of these things with the E-Collar, and your commands will be very reliable off-leash up to a half mile away! Our eCollar program is state-of-the-art and unlike anything you may have heard of before. It’s not like the E-Collar training of late, where dogs are literally shocked into submission; everything is done on a low level – so low that most humans can’t even feel it. It is truly one of the most humane methods of communication with a dog that is available.
