Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I have a 7 yr old bulldog who started growling at me when I get near his food. We've never had aggression issues before this started. He has never bitten me, but I am worried he will. What can I do?
If not addressed it can get worse. For the time being I’d recommend making your dog wait patiently while the food is put out. Do not allow him to “rush” the bowl. He needs to understand that protecting his food is an unwanted and unnecessary behavior. However, if you are not comfortable with that, contact me ASAP so we can get to work on changing his behavior.

Why does my 2 year old Black Lab bark every time the doorbell rings?
It boils down to your relationship with your dog and what you allow and don’t allow. If the dog barks and you tell it to stop barking and it does not stop then you’ve got some relationship building to do with the dog. Dogs must understand what good behavior is.

How old does my dog need to be before I start training?
You can start training basic obedience as early as 8 weeks old. In addition to obedience, this is the best time to start introducing your dog to as many sights, sounds and smells as possible. Call me or schedule an evaluation and I am happy to provide some guidance.

My 4 yr old German Shepherd pulls me down the street when we walk. I love my dog, but can’t stand taking him for a walk anymore. Can you help with a dog who has a mind of his own when on leash?
I am sorry to hear that walks have become such a chore. Yes, I can help. I teach owners how to train their dogs to walk nicely on a loose leash. If you are interested in a training session, the best place to start is with an evaluation.

My puppy is eating/chewing everything in the house. How do I stop her?
Chewing is very common with puppies. It is important to have chew toys handy as an alternative to a household item. Show her what is an acceptable item to chew on. The ol’ “this instead of that” technique. : )

Lawren has been absolutely amazing and so helpful with training our dog. It's amazing how quickly he can teach our dog something new, along with teaching us how to keep that behavior moving forward. We are excited to keep working with him!
Lawren, owner of Walking with Walter, is a wonderful trainer. My dog Benny and I learned so much. Benny had fear issues and he is now walking well on a leash and off. He comes when called, obeys and has more confidence. He's so happy. It was a miracle. I am happy to recommend Walking with Walter to dog owners. It changed our world. Lawren is the best.
Lawren is amazing! We have a 5 month old lab mix puppy from the rescue and though we love her a ton, she was driving us crazy. After a few sessions of puppy training, we realized that we were not doing everything right. Lawren taught us how to be good puppy trainers! After 5 sessions, we now have the tools to train our puppy and gain back our sanity! Thank you Lawren, you are a life saver!
After our double doodle, Bliz returned from board & train, it was like having a completely new dog. Calm, relaxed, attentive to commands and reliable on and off leash. We as owners definitely need to be consistent with training afterwords but the ground work was laid for a happy family dog that everyone can love. So thankful for Walking with Walter. Would highly recommend!
