Canine Wellness Walks
Wellness Walks are for dogs with all behavior issues
and is all about meeting your dog’s needs
- the no.1 priority to focus on to avoid, prevent, or resolve behavior problems.
Our Wellness Walks are all about helping dogs destress, become more confident, helping them navigate difficult situations and triggers
- and engaging their nose.
Our Wellness Walks can help to significantly IMPROVE your dog’s overall behavior!
This service differs from traditional Dog Training or Dog Walking. We are working with patterns, REAL communication, and changing the PURPOSE of the walk to help prevent, reduce, or resolve reactivity, anxiety, aggression, etc.
The importance of sniffing is to activate the ‘seeking system’ in the brain - with the wonderful ‘side effect’ of energy expenditure and release of ‘feel-good’ chemicals in the brain like dopamine and endorphins..
Dopamine release from sniffing can significantly help a dog calm down and reduce stress. It’s also about changing the PURPOSE of the walk for both the dog and the human and understanding how human behavior on walks directly affects the dog’s behavior.
You can read much more about this in our ebook. Click on the product image below to learn more.
Wellness walks are about the human walking the dog being 100% present and ACTIVELY helping the dog navigate life better on walks.
It’s about TALKING to your dog on walks
It’s about understanding how YOUR behavior, body language, and emotional state directly impacts your dog’s behavior 24/7
It’s about giving the dog a sense of PURPOSE
It’s about recognizing what is part of the individual dog’s DNA
It’s about giving the dog time to destress and exercise FREE CHOICE AND FREE WILL.
It’s NOT about TRAINING
It’s NOT about the dog walking in a HEEL position
It’s NOT about correcting the dog, yanking, or pulling at the dog
Tools used:
We use a long leash, which we provide for all walks
Your dog needs to wear a proper fitted body harness with a handle (one he cannot escape out of!)
We do NOT use tools like prong/shock/choke collars, e-collars, or bark collars and these are not accepted, nor recommended in your private use
For optimal success for both YOU & your dog, we highly recommend purchasing our ebook
‘How to navigate life better with your leash reactive dog’ + our Reactivity Checklist Pdf download,
which will help you understand what we are trying to achieve, and what you, as a dog parent can learn to achieve when walking your dog.
