Trainer Walks

45-minute walks – providing reliable and caring dog walking services. One of our certified trainers will come to your home or office and walk your dog. These walks are a great addition to your dogs overall training program and health. This service is available Monday-Friday 9am to 4pm (limited late afternoon spots available).

Please note:

This is not a training session – this is an opportunity for our trainers to help support your training growth or maintain skills already established through any obedience program.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where do sessions happen?

    We train where learning is easiest and safest for your dog:

    • an easily accessible local park (most common)
    • your home, if the behaviour happens there
    • your neighbourhood or walking routes
    • Travel fees may apply for certain locations.

  • What if my dog is too anxious or reactive to train in public?

    No problem. We start at a distance, in quiet spaces, or at home.

    For very sensitive dogs, we can mix video sessions + in-person sessions to reduce pressure and keep training moving forward.

  • Do I need to buy any special tools or equipment?

    Nope – nothing fancy.

    We stick to positive reinforcement, so you’ll mainly need:

    • treats your dog loves
    • a harness or collar
    • a standard leash (no retractables)

    If something specific would help, Aviva will recommend it – but you won’t be asked to buy unnecessary gear.

  • How long before I see results?

    Most families notice changes in the first 1–2 sessions – calmer walks, fewer explosions, easier routines.

    Bigger behaviour changes (anxiety, reactivity, aggression) can take longer, but progress starts quickly once the dog feels safe and understood.
