Training Field Trips
For dogs who are comfortable riding in the car and do not experience frequent carsickness. (Dog must ride in a crate)
60 minutes: $60
90 minutes: $90
2 hours: $120
What is it?
Training Field Trips are designed for owners who know their dog needs more structured exercise, real-world exposure, and guidance; but don’t always have the time to provide it consistently.
I will pick up your dog (you do not need to be home), transport them to a safe local park or public walking area, and guide them through a structured outing.
This is not just a walk; Every moment is intentional.
Dogs are always learning; either practicing good habits or reinforcing unwanted ones. During these outings, I focus on building calm behavior, improving leash manners, and helping your dog move through the world in a more balanced, controlled way.
Each trip is tailored to your dog’s needs and designed to return them home more fulfilled, more relaxed, and easier to live with.
