Private Training

Regular Dog Walk - $25
Do you find it challenging to walk your dog due to your busy schedule or physical limitations? Let me take care of it for you! When I take your dog for a "regular dog walk", it simply means that I will walk your dog for 30 minutes without any specific training or guidance. My aim during this walk is to ensure that your dog gets enough exercise and has the opportunity to relieve itself and sniff around. Your dog's leash skills will improve with consistent walking, but I cannot guarantee that they will become a perfect walker. If you would like me to provide training to your dog and teach it how to walk with a loose leash, then you should opt for a training walk.
