Every dog deserves to thrive, regardless of age, breed, or background. Here at Dog Sit Walk, we understand that creating a well-behaved and happy canine companion starts with effective training.
Whether you’re welcoming a brand new puppy, adopting a deserving rescue, or simply looking to strengthen the bond with your furry friend, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Building Basic Foundations:
1. Essential Commands for All Dogs: Every dog, young or old, should grasp basic commands like sit, stay, come, leave it, and heel. These commands ensure safety, communication, and a smoother walking experience.
In partnership with one of our sponsors, we offer a free downloadable dog training guide covering these essentials, complete with easy-to-follow instructions and helpful tips.
2. Tailored Guidance for Different Breeds: From the energetic Labrador Retriever to the gentle Giant Schnauzer, specific training approaches cater to individual breed traits and needs.
Our blog features insights into training different breeds, helping you understand your dog’s unique characteristics.
3. Special Considerations for Rescue Dogs: Shelter dogs come with varied experiences and potential anxieties. Our resources offer guidance on helping your rescue adjust to their new home, build trust, and overcome past fears through positive reinforcement training techniques.
DIY Dog Training vs. Professional Trainer:
The Benefits of DIY Training:

The Advantages of Professional Training:
