Walk & Train Programme

Is your dog in need of some extra training?

Do you find it hard to fit in training time around work commitments?

Do you need a little extra support?

Let Potter Paws ease the pressure!

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!

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

What can we help with?
  • pulling on the lead
  • not coming when called
  • over-excitement
  • pulling through the door
  • focus and attention
  • jumping at people
  • wanting to greet other dogs and people
  • barking
  • confidence building
  • social skills
  • 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.

Can anyone do these?
