Dog Walking & Training FAQs

Serving Innaloo, Doubleview, Gwelup, Stirling, Dianella, Tuart Hill, Osborne Park & Wembley Downs

 

How do your group dog walks work?

​

My group walks are carefully structured to be safe, calm, and enriching.
We start with a meet and greet to assess your dog’s temperament, energy level, and walking skills. From there, your dog is matched with a compatible group.

I pick your dog up from your home, take them to a suitable local park, and provide a full one-hour walk focused on social skills & calm behaviour. After the walk, your dog is dropped home happy and tired.

 

How many dogs are in each group walk?

​

I keep group sizes small (4-6) and balanced to ensure safety and quality attention. Dogs are grouped based on size, energy, and personality, not just availability.

 

Is my dog suitable for group walks?

​

Most dogs are, but that’s exactly why I do a meet and greet first.
Group walks are best for dogs that are:

  • Comfortable around other dogs

  • Not aggressive or highly reactive

  • Able to walk off the leash, or lead trained

If group walks aren’t the right fit, I often recommend 1:1 walk and train sessions instead.

 

What is a Walk & Train session?

​

A Walk & Train is a one-on-one training session done during a real walk in the outside world. 

I pick your dog up from your home and work on practical skills such as:

  • Loose leash walking

  • Calm behaviour around dogs and people

  • Engagement and focus

  • Confidence building

It’s ideal for dogs who need training but struggle in group classes or busy settings.

 

Why choose Walk & Train instead of traditional training classes?

​

Walk & Train sessions are:

  • Less stressful for dogs

  • Done in real-life environments

  • Perfect for busy owners

  • Great for dogs that shut down in group classes

Because the training happens during a walk, dogs learn skills in the exact situations they need them most.

 

What behaviours can you help with during Walk & Train?

​

Walk & Train sessions are especially effective for:

  • Pulling on the leash

  • Overexcitement on walks

  • Recall training

  • Poor focus around distractions

  • Basic obedience while walking

They’re practical, realistic, and tailored to your dog.

 

Will I be involved in the training?

​

Yes, I always give you feedback and guidance so you can maintain the training between sessions.

 

Do you offer loose leash walking training?

​

Yes. Loose leash walking is one of my most popular training focuses.
I teach dogs how to walk calmly without pulling, using clear communication and consistency during real walks.

 

Do you offer puppy training?

​

Absolutely. Puppy training focuses on:

  • Confidence building

  • Good walking habits early

  • Basic manners

  • Calm behaviour around people and dogs

Starting early makes a huge difference long-term.

 

What areas do you service?

​

I provide dog walking and training services in:
Innaloo, Doubleview, Gwelup, Stirling, Dianella, Tuart Hill, Osborne Park, and Wembley Downs and Surrounds.

 

How do I get started?

​

Simply get in touch to book a meet and greet. From there, we’ll decide whether group walks, walk and train sessions, or puppy training is the best fit for your dog.
