Training Walks
Is your dog or puppy struggling to take their skills from home to the real world? Do they seem to ‘forget’ known cues or get distracted by every little thing on walks? Whether it's other dogs, playful kids, squirrels darting around, or unexpected noises, navigating the neighborhood can be overwhelming.
​
Our training walks are designed to help your dog stay focused, work through distractions, and move past "scary" things calmly. We'll practice essential skills like sitting, waiting, loose leash walking, polite greetings, ignoring distractions, and even tackling mild to moderate leash reactivity.
​
For dogs with more intense fear or reactivity, starting with a behavior modification plan is the best approach. If that sounds like your dog, click here to schedule a consultation.

Decompression Walks
What are decompression walks?
Decompression walks are a much-needed break from the typical neighborhood stroll. Unlike regular walks where dogs are confined to a short leash and surrounded by overwhelming sights, sounds, and smells, decompression walks are designed to let dogs unwind and truly be themselves. These walks take place in low-stress environments, such as fields, greenways, or wooded areas, where your dog can freely explore, sniff, forage, roll in the grass, and just be a dog. Depending on your dog’s needs, these walks can be off-leash, on a long line, or with a leash kept as loose as possible, allowing them the freedom to move at their own pace.
Why are decompression walks important?
For many dogs, the hustle and bustle of city life can be overwhelming. Walks through busy neighborhoods, with cars whizzing by, kids playing, and other dogs barking, can be stressful—especially when done on a 6-foot leash without the opportunity to sniff or engage in natural behaviors. These conventional walks often don't meet the physical and mental enrichment needs of most dogs and can even contribute to anxiety, over-arousal, or reactivity.
​
Decompression walks, on the other hand, offer dogs a chance to unwind in nature, away from the stressors of the urban environment. This freedom helps lower their stress levels, encourages natural behaviors, and provides physical and mental stimulation.
Where Can Decompression Walks Happen?
These walks can take place in various locations, depending on what's accessible and suitable near your home. Options include pocket parks, open fields, wooded areas, sports fields (when not in use), and cemeteries. Seattle has many great spots for decompression walks. I'll take your dog to a local area where they can enjoy this kind of freedom. Each walk will be tailored to your dog's specific needs and comfort level.
