About Who’s Walking Who (Northern Nevada)

What they offer

Who's Walking Who Northern Nevada runs a training facility in Gardnerville and serves Minden, Carson City, South Lake Tahoe, Sparks and Reno. Owners join lifetime training in a class setting, with ongoing sessions to reinforce obedience and socialization around real-world distractions, and the company also emphasizes one-on-one in-home training.

Programs

Obedience training covers sit, down, come, heel, stay and a release command, greetings with people and other dogs, waiting at the door, leave it, impulse control and perimeter training. The puppy program covers socialization, developmental stages, potty and crate training, mouthing and chewing. Behavior work addresses aggression, fearfulness, barking, jumping, possessiveness, food aggression and separation anxiety, and off-leash control and distance commands are part of the training menu.

Service dogs

Service dog teams usually start with an immersion program followed by private lessons, working on real tasks such as retrievals, deep pressure therapy, alerting, doors and switches, and mobility assistance.
