About Walking Dog Training

Hey! I’m Bethany Johnson, calm dog enthusiast… I am the head trainer at Walking Dog Training. I train in my home located in the cutest little neighborhood called Audubon Park in Orlando, Florida. I work with dogs that are a bit bratty (pulling on the walk, reactive on leash, ignoring recall, jumping on people, etc.) and help them learn manners while guiding the owners along the way.

Bethany was awesome to work with and I’m sure Jasper enjoyed himself over there as well. Bethany had great communication and answered any question I had (if I had any) as well as gave me the confidence to do more with my dog. After having my dog back for less than 24 hours I already see a night and day difference with his behaviors. Jasper was always a good dog but he just needed an extra push with an e-collar to bring it out more. Seeing Bethany work with Jasper opened the door to many opportunities and gave the ideas to take Jasper out to more public places. Overall, will definitely look forward to working with Bethany again in the future and Jasper and I will always be grateful.

I had such an incredible experience working with Bethany! My dog, Rocky, was incredibly reactive prior to the training. I had such a hard time walking him always having to avoid other dogs and people. I could never take him to public places and it was difficult leaving him with other people because he was almost uncontrollable. After picking him up there is still work to be done, but he is so much more manageable. I am no longer embarrassed to bring my dog around with my friends or family. Or worried about an uncontrollable situation. I could not recommend anyone better than Bethany as well. She had incredible communication and obviously has a passion for working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds!

Bethany continuously makes me feel like I’m not alone on my dog training journey. (Other owners struggle with the same issues AND she’s here to help!) She demystifies everything about balanced dog training by showing you that you too can do it! With her guides and instagram content, I feel empowered, supported and motivated. Additionally, when I’m out on walks, I feel like she’s right there with me. She has taught me these little mantras that I repeat to myself at key points of my walk. It’s revolutionized my doggie outings! It’s so empowering and liberating! She is always positive and encouraging. Her teaching style is a breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend her enough! 5⭐️ 12 out of 10

Bethany is AMAZING! My dog Reese, a reactive German Shepherd who is now in recovery thanks to Bethany. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their dog. Bethany is wonderful to work with - she takes the time and truly listens to understand what you are struggling with and what your goals are for you and your dog. Then she gets to work. During the board and train she is very communicative with training updates, what she’s doing with your dog and how your dog is responding. She’s always responsive to any questions you may have. As a dog owner who LOVES her dog, it was hard leaving her, but with the daily updates from Bethany it made the time away so much easier. I had 100% confidence my dog was in excellent hands. You can truly see how much Bethany loves dogs and she pours that into each dog she is training. What she’s has done for Reese and me as her owner is life changing. Once a very reactive dog that I would have to think very carefully about the places and situations she could be in, we now have the tools to enjoy all the things with confidence. Reese can enjoy the world around her without feeling the need to react to everything and I have so much more confidence as her handler. I am so grateful we had this opportunity and so thankful to have met Bethany. I highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Bethany and her resources enough!!!! I have 3 dogs that I wanted to introduce to the e-collar, but it was too overwhelming for me to learn a new tool and train all 3 of them at the same time (not saying it can't be done, it was just too much for me at that time in my life). Anyway, I got Bethany's video course so I could train my boy and sent his sisters off to board with her. All this to say, I have experience with both options and they both rock! 1. The courses. The e-collar video course was super clear and included multiple examples with different dogs. This was very helpful because it gave me a wider range (i.e. more realistic) expectation to how this experience would go - dogs are so unique! The course has step by step instructions to ease both you and your pooch into this new tool. 2. Board and Train. Boarding with Bethany was such an amazing experience. The girls instantly fell in love with her and were very eager to please. Bethany kept me in the loop during the whole process and I was able to see their journey on Instagram, too! The e-collar (& Bethany, of course!) gave me the ability to communicate more clearly with my pups, which led to them knowing my expectations, which led to my highly wound up/ anxious dog FINALLY being able to settle. All of this hard work has allowed me to enjoy a fuller life with my dogs. We are now about 5 months post B&T/ video courses and the change has been amazing. They've always been good dogs, but this tool and Bethany have allowed them to be GREAT dogs! TLDR; You can't go wrong. The courses and B&T are both fabulous options. Plus, you have an amazing person who will cheer you on the whole way!!
