Train & Walks

More Than Just a Walk. Real-Life Training, Every Step of the Way

Looking for a service that does more than tire your dog out? Our Train & Walk sessions are designed to meet your dog’s physical, mental and behavioural needs in one structured visit. Ideal for busy households or dogs currently in training, these sessions provide focused practice in real-world environments, giving your dog the consistency they need to make lasting progress.

What Are Train & Walks?

Train & Walks blend the care of a professional dog walker with the knowledge and intent of a trainer. During each session, your dog receives one-on-one attention while we reinforce their training foundations, work through distractions, and build calm engagement on the move.

This service is perfect for:

  • Dogs currently enrolled in 1:1 training

  • Busy owners who need reliable, purposeful enrichment

  • Working breeds and high-drive dogs needing structure

  • Maintaining progress between private sessions

What’s Included

Each session is tailored to your dog’s current training goals and behaviour profile. Activities may include:

  • Loose-leash walking and engagement in varied environments

  • Exposure to common distractions such as other dogs, people, vehicles or loud noises

  • Reinforcement of known commands and household rules

  • Focus work, impulse control and calmness exercises

  • Settling and neutral behaviour around triggers

Our aim is not only to exercise your dog, but to reinforce the kind of behaviour that makes them easier to live with and more enjoyable to take out into the world.

How It Works

  1. Initial Consultation/Meet & Greet
    Before starting any dog walking service, we require an in-home Meet and Greet session to ensure we are the right fit for you and your dog. This 30-45 minute appointment allows us to discuss your dog's needs, walking routines, and expectations, as well as review Summit Canine's structure and policies. These Meet and Greets are $30

  2. Custom Plan for Your Dog
    Sessions are structured around your dog’s temperament, training history and environment. We’ll keep you updated through session notes and photos when appropriate.
    Clients do not need to be home for pickup if prior arrangements have been made.

  3. Ongoing Progress Support
    Train & Walks can be used alongside your 1:1 training or as part of a long-term maintenance plan for well-established behaviours.

NOTE: Train & Walks are not a substitution for training or our Private 1:1 Training Sessions. These sessions are to help reinforce desired behaviours and work on existing skills. If you feel your dog does not have the foundations already in place, please reach out to discuss 1:1 training before commencing Train & Walks to ensure you and your dog are set up for success.
