Done For You

Walk + Train

When it comes to 'walkies', untrained dogs have zero chill. They get overly excited - bless them - but we can teach them how to stroll side by side with their humans.

How we can help

How we can help

Balancing work, life and dog care? The juggle is real. Our Walk and Train service takes the pressure off by ensuring your dog enjoys regular exercise while learning new skills.

Typical behaviours we help with:

  • Zig-zagging
  • Pulling on the lead
  • Frequent pauses for sniffing
  • Heightened excitability
  • Jumping on people or dogs
  • Recalling your dog to you

The team at Pet Professor came to our rescue when our puppy was about 11 months old and hit “adolescents”!

I loved him but honestly was questioning my decision to bring him into the family… We sought a combination of Walk and Trains for Squishy and 4 x education sessions (Mind Your Manners course) for me to be a better, more consistent fur-mum.

Amy (who did the walk and trains) is a dog whisperer and honestly Squishy became calm and so well behaved. We loved the results and Squishy enjoyed his time with Amy so much.

We still call on Pet Professor for walk and trains when I’m travelling with work because the team are reliable, trustworthy and so great with Squishy. Very frequently people comment on what a calm and lovely dog our Squishy is - and a large dose of credit we owe to Marianne and her team!

How walk and train sessions can benefit you

Your dog will love exercising with a walker that takes the time to understand their quirks. They’ll be rewarded with bucketloads of mental stimulation and work on training that will unlock their full potential.
The process

The process

01 Complete your walk subscription

To book simply go to Contact Us and complete our form, selecting 'walk & train'. You will receive an email and pick your subscription - from 1 to 5 walks a week. You will be given a dedicated walker who will work on building the skills your dog needs.

02 Confirm your booking

Once you've locked in your program we arrange our first Meet and Greet for you to meet with our walker and for them to meet your dog and discuss your training needs.

03 Begin your training walks

You will receive weekly updates by your walker and can also book private sessions or attend group classes to further strengthen the new skills your dog has learned.

04 Cancel anytime

As your dog continues to work with our walkers, they will gain the necessary skills to be able to walk nicely with you and come when called. You can also choose to cancel or pause your subscription at any time.

The process

I’d met someone from Pet Professor in the park who was working with a dog we knew and I was amazed at the dog’s focus! He (Squishy) was totally mesmerised by the trainer and barely said hello to us - usually he would immediately run to my dog to play!

Merlin is an adolescent dog and we felt we needed guidance on a bit more training. He was also pulling a lot on walks.

Marianne helped and guided us on how to get Merlin to be more focused on us when walking and he is now much easier to manage.

Merlin is much better trained and it’s more fun to walk him. He is super intelligent and loves learning new games. His recall is better and we feel much more confident knowing it is up to us to train him further as Marianne and her team have given us the tools.
