Private In-Person Training with Kate Walker

My training programs significantly improve and resolve behavioral problems that others deem "unsolvable!" I specialize in working with dog owners who have already tried other training methods (including other trainers' group classes, private lesson programs, and Board and Train programs) and who are STILL having problems with their dog's behavior. If everything else that you've tried has failed, I promise you, my approach to dog training will be different than the rest.
My behavior modification programs are great for dogs that have one or more behavioral concerns, which could include: high energy, hyperactivity, anxiety, aggression, an inability to settle and relax inside or outside, reactivity toward dogs, people, noises, or objects, and/or poor social skills. My training programs are also excellent for dogs who are fearful or anxious, and who may be overwhelmed, adrenalized, or intimidated by stimuli in the world. I regularly work with dogs who may bark out the window, "get into trouble", who have difficulty with handling or grooming, who may do poorly at the veterinarian’s office, who want to chase moving objects, kids, or animals, who may have difficulty with guest arrival, who won’t stop jumping on or mouthing owners or guests, who pull hard on the leash, who pant, tremble, whine, or bark in the car or crate, and/or have gotten into a dog fight, etc. The list could go on and on! I work with any combination of behavioral challenges! That said, I also have on-leash and off-leash programs for the happy-go-lucky, yet excitable and stubborn dogs, too!
Together, we will develop your dog’s ability to remain calm when seeing stimulating or stressful things, to greet guests politely, and to relax inside and outside of the house around people, animals, noises, objects, movement, and more!

Loose-Leash Walking Program

Does your dog haul on the leash? Is your dog weaving back and forth and pulling you around? This program is most popular for the excitable leash-pulling dog! This program is great for dogs who get too excited, rude, or impulsive while out on a walk, but it is not intensive enough for dogs who get aggressive and severely leash reactive while out on a walk (if your dog becomes aggressive and severely leash reactive while out on a walk, please see our Behavior Modification Program!) During this Loose-Leash Walking Program, we'll teach your excitable, leash-pulling dog to settle nicely beside you, to stop when you stop, and to walk forward on a loose leash! This program includes:

  • 3 in-person lessons with me, completed within a 4-week timeline ​

    • Each lesson typically lasts 1-2 hours!​​

    • Lessons are scheduled at your home (within a 30-minute drive) or another public location as your dog improves and is ready to be training in public.

    • Lessons are available on Sunday afternoons, weekday mornings, and weekday evenings.

  • One training collar and one leash ($45 value) ​

    • Multi-dog homes incur no additional training cost, but may require an additional training collar and leash​.

Off-Leash Recall Program

This program is most popular for off-leash training! Do you dream of a dog who behaves off-leash? Who returns every time that you call? A 100% reliable off-leash recall is invaluable! This program is ideal for a well-behaved dog (6 months or older) who just has selective hearing! Off-leash training is also valuable to address chasing wildlife, eating undesired objects (like socks and feces), counter surfing, digging, etc… which can now be addressed from a far greater distance than what is otherwise possible. For one dog, this program includes:

  • 5 in-person lessons with me, completed within a 7-week timeline

    • Each lesson typically lasts 1-2 hours!​

    • Lessons are scheduled at your home (within a 30-minute drive) or another public location as your dog improves and is ready to be training in public.
