Hire dog walkers who reinforce - and don't reinforce - the same behaviors you do.

​

As your dog's behaviors evolve, we fine tune our walking to ensure your dog's behaviors are being addressed and they are enjoying the time spent with our walkers.​​

​

What this might look like:

We start walking your dog when he is a 4 month old puppy. At that time, we work on leash biting and good leash skills. Then, at about six months, he starts to get really excited when he sees other dogs so we practice walking by distractions.

Make sure your dog flexes its muscles, including its brain, while you are away. ​

​

At TheTreat, we care about mental and physical stimulation. They are both great ways to tire your dog out and we always include training in our walks.

​

What this might look like: It's a rainy day and your dog doesn't want to get his little paws wet. We make sure we get a potty break and then we play with your dog inside with snuffle mats and puzzle toys.

Dog walkers are trained using TheTreat principles to understand general obedience.

 

Jennifer, our trainer, creates a training plan to address unwanted behaviors with training and management techniques.

​What this might look like:

Your dog jumps out of excitement when we arrive. A training plan may consist of training the behavior with a stay and management of the behavior by ignoring them and immediately letting them outside.
