Puppy Training

Every puppy needs to learn the ropes, so to speak, when it comes to good habits, where to go to the bathroom, and how to interact with other dogs. At Train Walk Poop, we can handle all of this and more. We even have boot camps designed just for puppies.

We know how frustrating it is to have a dog who:
  • Pulls you down the street
  • Doesn't greet politely
  • Runs the other way when called
  • Won't stop barking
  • Steals food

Here's how we fix it:

We train your dog

Bring your dog in for one of our boarding school programs or for private sessions.

We train you

Each week you'll have a private lesson with your trainer, so you get hands on practice. We want you to know exactly what to do so the training sticks!

enjoy your dog

Enjoy a well behaved dog who understands what you need, and your dog will have an owner who understands their needs too! Your trainer is always available for follow up calls and in person sessions.

we are kind of weird

Here’s what makes us so different:

  • Acceptance of all dogs, even if other facilities have refused them.

  • No interruptions during our social classes because our drop-off and pick-up times are very strict – interruptions and delays can stress out your dog and decrease the potential for fun.

  • Small dog to trainer ratio – our trainers have a max of 5 dogs to train per day! And in our daycare we give a staff member only 5-12 dogs rather than the industry standard of 20-40.

  • We focus on polite and safe behaviors (such as no excessive barking and not swarming a door or gate) to ensure that every dog has a safer experience than with other trainers.

  • Dogs learn at their own pace without any peer pressure.

What we believe:

  • No dog owner should have to choose between their dog’s well-being and their own.
  • Your dog is not broken, too old, too young or beyond help. We’ve seen it all and we’ve helped them all.
  • You are the perfect trainer for your dog, you just hadn’t found the right mentor yet. But now you’ve found us, and we’ll reach your dog training goals together!

"I have received dozens of compliments from strangers about how Oso is so well behaved. That behavior is a direct result of the training Oso and I have done with Ryan. Ryan has helped form Oso into a socialized, well-rounded, polite, and obedient companion that any human would be lucky to own."

Love everything about Train Walk Poop! I've had my pup Ash in the puppy scholar program and it's been the best investment and training opportunity for both me and my pup. Our trainer Hali is incredibly kind, patient and awesome to work with. She's helped both Ash and I learn so much and is highly knowledgeable. I know working with Hali at Train Walk Poop has helped me set proper rules and boundaries for Ash and I along with many more tools. It's been great working with Hali and all of the wonderful staff at Train Walk Poop. I would definitely recommend Train Walk Poop for any training, day care needs or boarding needs. I'll be a customer for life.

My puppy Stitch went through a 4 week board-train program and I still currently actively go there for all my boarding/day care and training needs. They really do an amazing job in helping your dog reach their full potential! I had Lauran as one of the main trainers working with Stitch! She’s very genuine and intelligent, answering any questions that came up! Definitely recommend her for dog training! Stitch always had trouble during walks and would constantly pull me in all directions. Now she happily walks and chills with me outside. The whole staff is also amazing, very homey vibe to them and I feel like that actually listen to you.

We were so grateful to find Train Walk Poop through a recommendation! We have two grown pups and were hesitant to board them for the eleven days while we were gone. However, this amazing and wonderful Staff helped us with the process of preparing our pups (and us)through daycare time and then an overnite before the long stay. The Staff members answered all of our questions, calmed our concerns, and proved their expertise in dog care! We received emailed pictures and report cards on their activities and how they were doing. We are very happy with our pups' stay and look forward to having them stay again. Thank you Train Walk Poop for all you do!

Our 1-year-old rottweiler Lenny needed to have better manners before we took him out of the country. We are so glad we chose Train Walk Poop to help us out. Lenny spent 3 weeks with Hali and her staff. Hali is an amazing trainer. She is very kind and patient, and you can tell she truly enjoys what she does. Every week she would train us as well, sharing her techniques so we could practice with him. Lenny has improved greatly! We are happier dog owners and I think Lenny is happier as well. If you are looking for a place to get your dog trained, this is it!!! I would definitely use their services again

We took our 10 week old puppy here for a 4-week daycare/training program and it was such a wonderful experience! Remy absolutely loved coming in each day and we noticed an improvement in general obedience and biting behaviors within the first week. We also loved that she got to socialize with other dogs her age every day. The staff were all so friendly and we could tell they really cared about each dog individually. We will definitely use their services again!

I have been bringing my puppy Gus to TWP for close to 8 months. I was a lost new dog owner and was nearing my wits end. I was able to enroll him in their puppy scholar program and it was a lifesaver! Hali has been so patient and helpful. We’ve transitioned now to daycare and he loves being able to come in and play with his friends. He loves his adventure days. I know he’s in good hands with Lauren, Jayna, and Raechel and everyone else!

We love Walk Train Poop! Our dog, Ella, a rescue Shepard mix, just spent 4 weeks there and came back in great shape: happy and healthy with a few new good behaviors like not pulling on leash walks and dropping the ball when I asked. As a nervous dog owner I loved the report cards that came with boarding service. This place came recommended to us and I’d highly recommend it to others. We also did a training class and learned so much. I feel like the staff is amazing! Thank you!

I landed my very first paid dog training customer from an ad on craigslist (remember that website?). I was amazed that anyone took me up on my offer for a 2 hour in-home training session because I had very little experience.

The first family I helped had a hyper English Mastiff named Aiden. He was terrorizing the entire house with all 200 lbs of enthusiasm he could muster. I remember leaving that session with my fingers crossed hoping they wouldn’t ask for their money back…

What’s your favorite part about working with dogs? I like seeing dogs make new friends with each other and build their social confidence. 

 

What inspired you to work with dogs? When I was growing up one of my favorite activities was going to dog shows and watching the agility courses.
