Walk & Train Programme

Is your dog in need of some extra training?

Our Walk & Train service will support your training efforts, tick something off your to-do-list and create a happier dog.

It can be hard to fit in regular training practise in day to day life... it's dark when you get home from work, the kids need taking to clubs, dinner needs cooking, it's easier to take your dog for a quick walk so they've had some exercise rather worry about training. Let us help ease that pressure! During our Walk and Train session we can work on whatever areas you'd like to improve, whilst providing essential physical and mental exercise during the day whilst you are busy. Regular short training sessions will help to provide consistency and improve unwanted behaviours.
 

You and your dog will love our Walk & Train sessions as they make your dog parenting role easier.....

• Sessions in the day means less need to walk before/after work
• Your training will be reinforced during our time with your dog
• Being well exercised (mentally and physically) will create a more content dog
• You can relax knowing your dog's training is ticked off the to-do-list!

• Individual attention
• 121 training practise at home and in real-life situations
• Experienced handling from our training team supporting methods you learn in class

• not coming when called
• over-excitement
• pulling through the door
• focus and attention
• jumping at people
• wanting to greet other dogs and people

• and much more...

Be assured your dog is in the best care with Potter Paws. Our Walk & Train sessions are facilitated by qualified and experienced members of our training team, who are Canine First Aid trained, DBS Checked and trained in understanding Canine Body Language. All training methods used and interaction with your dog will be in line with the training covered in our group classes and 121 sessions.

Our Walk & Train service is NOT designed to replace the need for YOU to train YOUR dog but it will provide support to help you achieve your goals. We require a minimum of one Walk & Train session per week and advise owners to continue with their own ongoing training/learning alongside these sessions.

Our services are available to those living in south Aylesbury and surrouding villages. Other areas may be available on request, please contact us to discuss.

Before my Walk & Train sessions started there was a really detailed questionnaire which helped focus my goals for the sessions. Leaf has been making great progress with Darcy’s confidence with being handled by others. After each session Leaf sends a voice message on what they have worked on. I feel confident Darcy is in good hands and all training lined up with my values. excellent service.

We tried Walk & Train because Hoshi was reluctant to go in the car and so made it difficult to attend training. I have seen such a difference - We practise all the exercises outside of our sessions too and loose lead walking, reactivity and confidence has improved so much! Through our weekly Walk & Trains, voice note follow ups and on hands support our walks are far more enjoyable

Crumble started Walk & Train as a very excitable 5 month old Labrador – pulling on the lead and convinced everyone should be her friend.

Crumble is now able to loose lead walk and while she still gets excited we are able to use the techniques which Leaf has implemented to help Crumble navigate situations.
