Walk-Ci's Training Services
Tailored reward-based training adapted to your pets emotional and behavioural needs
Walk-Ci's training
Walk-Ci's offer a range of training options to match dogs' individual needs and owners' preferences.
Training walks
Individualised walks designed to support your dog's emotional and behavioural needs.
Behavioural walks are designed for dogs who may find everyday walks challenging, including dogs who are nervous, easily overwhelmed, reactive, frustrated or struggling with particular situations.
We work at a pace that your dog can cope with, using reward-based techniques to encourage positive behaviours and help them develop confidence and appropriate coping strategies.
Every dog is different, so walks are adapted according to their individual temperament, triggers, environment and current level of confidence.
Behavioural walks are not a quick fix or a replacement for a full behaviour consultation where one is needed. Instead, they provide an opportunity to practise and reinforce appropriate skills in real-life environments, while giving your dog a positive and supportive walking experience.
Helping dogs feel more confident, cope with the world around them and enjoy their walks.
Behavioural support
Behavioural advice and support for less complex needs
Paired walks are offered to dogs that are compatible in size, energy and social style. Routes tend to include wider pavements, neighbourhood green spaces and short off-lead park areas where safe and permitted. Walk-Ci's pairs are matched following a temperament assessment and a meet-and-greet; handlers carry slip leads, long leads for graded recall, water and waste bags. Interaction style focuses on parallel walking, supervised social exchanges and shared enrichment such as short scent games. This option suits sociable dogs that enjoy a companion but do not require the structure of a larger group.
Obedience training
Tailored, reward-based training to build a strong relationship with your dog
Practical, reward-based training designed to help your dog develop reliable everyday skills.
From recall and loose-lead walking to focus, impulse control and polite greetings, sessions are tailored to your dog's individual needs and your goals.
Helping you build communication, confidence and a stronger relationship with your dog — not simply teaching them to obey....
Puppy training
Give your puppy the best possible start with positive, reward-based training tailored to their individual needs.
Puppyhood is an important time for learning, exploring and developing confidence. Our training focuses on building the foundations your puppy will need throughout their life, while helping you understand their behaviour and communicate effectively with them.
We don't believe puppy training is about expecting a young dog to be perfectly behaved. Puppies are learning about the world around them, and our aim is to help them develop confidence, resilience and positive habits from the beginning.
Sessions are tailored to your puppy's age, temperament, experiences and individual needs, giving you practical skills that you can continue to use at home.
