About Our Dog Walking and Dog Training Programs
Our Goal: A Happy, Fulfilled Dog
We’re here to meet your dog’s needs through our customized walking and training programs. After an energizing walk or hike with their pack friends, your dog will come home happy, calm, and ready to relax.
Your dog’s happiness is our top priority — we deliver the same level of care and attention we’d want for our own pets. In fact, our own dogs often join us on walks, hikes, and even some training sessions.
We know that dogs need both mental and physical stimulation to thrive. Since they experience the world through smell, sound, and sight (in that order), our approach is designed to engage all their senses. By understanding canine behavior and truly honoring what dogs need, we set ourselves apart from the rest. Verona dog walking dog training dog walker
15 Years of Trust, Care, and Results
For 15 years, we have been serving the pets and of our local area with dog walking and dog training. We are passionate about dogs, their individual needs, and creating the bond based on trust, love and respect. We believe that by teaching humans how to effectively communicate with dogs, understand dog behavior and apply behavior principles, the results are beyond that of your dog following directions. The results are a greater bond and understanding and a fulfilled dog, all of these contribute to happiness, and efficient problem solving behavior and generalized good dog behavior in all environments.
Personalized Dog Training — Right in Your Home
Every dog is unique, and so is our approach. Our private training sessions are tailored 100% to your dog’s needs — and yours. We come to your home because the environment your dog lives in is key to success.
We’ll start by discussing your specific concerns and goals, then work together using proven principles of behavior and canine psychology. Along the way, you’ll learn how to clearly and confidently communicate with your furry companion.
We’ll create simple, effective routines for you to practice each day so you can see lasting results and enjoy a stronger bond with your dog.

Drain & Train Program
A tired dog is a focused dog! Our Drain & Train program combines physical exercise with targeted training for maximum results.
We start by giving your dog the activity they need to burn off excess energy, then follow up with a focused training session. This approach is especially effective for leash-related issues such as pulling, lunging, or reactivity — but it can be customized to address any behavior you’d like to improve.
By meeting your dog’s physical and mental needs in one session, we help you achieve faster progress and a calmer, more responsive companion.

Pack Hikes
Our Pack Hikes are more than just a walk — they’re an adventure. This specialty service offers off-leash group hikes designed to provide both physical exercise and healthy socialization. We handle pick-up and drop-off, so all you have to do is look forward to a happy, tired dog.
Before joining a pack, every dog goes through a friendly evaluation. We look at how they interact with new dogs, new people, and new environments, as well as any signs of insecurity.
Dogs who pass the evaluation begin a gradual training and integration process, working toward the ultimate goal: becoming a trusted, confident off-leash pack member who thrives on the trail.

Neighborhood Walks
We believe every walk should strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Our neighborhood walks take place right in your local area, giving your dog a familiar yet enriching experience.
Each walk is more than just exercise — it’s about building trust, respect, and a healthy walking rhythm. We match your dog’s pace and energy level, ensuring they’re engaged, satisfied, and ready to relax when they get home.
