About Walk N’ Roll

Walk N' Roll LLC operates from 217 Eastern Pkwy in Prospect Heights and describes itself as a bonded and insured provider of full-service private pet training and care. Its stated specialism is fear, anxiety, stress and aggression cases.

Who runs it

Founder Joshua Latour lists more than fifteen years in the pet-care industry and a long credential list: Certified Training Partner with the Karen Pryor Academy, certified Service Dog Coach, Puppy Start Right Instructor, and a certificate of completion of the Aggression in Dogs Master Course developed by Michael Shikashio, CDBC. He is also a Certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. His stated specialism is applied behavior analysis, the methodology underlying clicker training.

What is on offer

One-on-one training, the Puppy Start Right curriculum, board and train bookings, behavior consulting and modification, classes, retreats in upstate New York, boarding and pet sits. Puppy and rescue-adoption preparation is called out as its own service, which fits a borough where a large share of dogs arrive as adult rescues.

Method, stated as a commitment

The site is explicit that as a KPA CTP the trainer has pledged to use positive reinforcement, and it names what it avoids: shock, choke and prong collars, spray bottles, air horns and similar products. It also warns against trainers offering gadgets or promising overnight results. The framing throughout is that pets are emotional beings whose behavioral challenges sometimes need a qualified professional rather than a device.

How it works in practice

Each case is assessed as its own situation and a plan is built to suit it; the site notes limited availability for one-on-one training and asks for a free screening before pet stays and boardings.
