Day Walk and Train

Keep the Progress Going and Build On It So Good Behaviour Can Last

You’ve already invested in your dog through my behaviour modification programme. Now, let’s take it to the next level with Walk & Train sessions — the perfect way to reinforce behaviour in the real world. I come to your home collect your dog and walk them from your home. We will work on and reinforce the training that you have completed with me.

How It Works

During a Walk & Train session I will

• Have made a pre-behaviour modification plan after discussing the behaviour you are experiencing with your dog and what you want instead. If you have gone through one to one sessions with me we will talk through sticking points and go through  the priorities to give you relief
• Walk your dog in St Albans or Harpenden
• Reinforce cues and behaviors learned in previous programmes so that it is being reinforced
• Address real-world distractions like other dogs, wildlife, and people
• Provide hands-on guidance about triggers and hot spots so you can continue practicing at home
• I will arrange lots of real life trials so behaviour is proofed
• Some dogs may be nervous with me coming in the house - we will discuss the options for this

Who It’s For

• Dogs who have finished behaviour modification programmes with me and for people who would like extra support and guidance
• Caregivers who want to ensure that dog walkers are also using these cue's - consistency in behaviour change is key.. just ask my Mum about my Granny who used to give me sweets!

Benefits of Walk & Train

• Maintain and reinforce your dog’s training in everyday environments
• Know that the training you have invested in is being reinforced for times when you don't have time for a training walk
• Receive expert tips for hot spots and triggers
• I ran a pet care company as a solo walker for 6 years so I am used to setting home alarms and handling keys
• I communicate any challenges that we've had (as you'll know walks can be unpredictable) and let you know how to manage this
• You will be able to maintain the behaviour that I have established and transfered
• You will learn skills in the transfer session
  
  

Options

Worked with me  on a behaviour modification plan before? ➡️If you have completed an initial programme with me (just a consultation) then please note that most behaviour cases require 6 weeks. If you have had private sessions with me (core and intensive programme) then it's more likely you will need the 3 week session. Please contact me to if you have any questions.
