About Walking With Walter Dog Training

What they offer

Walking With Walter Dog Training is run by owner and head trainer Lawren Bennett and focuses on family dogs that pull on the leash, ignore commands, jump on guests or struggle around children. The goal it describes is reliable obedience at home, on walks and in public, not just in a quiet room.

Programs

New clients start with a 30-minute Discovery evaluation at the facility or a 60-minute private evaluation at home. The facility training package builds sit, stay, recall, calm behavior around distractions and controlled greetings, with the owner coached along the way; the in-home package follows the same curriculum in the dog's own environment. Board and train programs run four weeks ($4,925) or six weeks ($6,650), with daily structured training, public proofing and owner coaching when the dog comes home; the six-week program adds advanced collar communication and off-leash reliability. A 45-minute video consultation and a day-long shadowing option are also offered.
