Questions & answers

What 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.

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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. : )

I've only had two sessions with Lawren but already my two dogs are walking calmly on their leashes and I finally understand how to make this happen! I am once again looking forward to our multi daily walks without the fear of being pulled a mile when they see a bunny. HIghly recommend Lawren!!

Lawren was a huge help with our transition from one to two dogs. We started with chaos and the dogs running our house, and ended our time with very well behaved dogs that are oft complimented in public. He is very patient, easy to understand, and practical. Not only did he do wonders with our standard poodles (off leash recall, place, good manners), he trained my husband and I to be more assertive and understand the way a dog thinks. We would highly recommend WWW !

Lawren was amazing to work with. He helped us understand how our dog thinks and how to communicate with him. I loved that he focused on positive reinforcement which worked very well for our dog.

Lawren of Walking with Walter Dog Training is a remarkable trainer. He has a deep understanding of the behaviors and psychology of dogs; and how to get the best behavior out of each of them with a positive and fun approach to the training. His training methods are full of easy-to-understand strategies for changing behaviors, along with good humored examples of how "we the owners" can improve the way we interact with and command our dogs. I highly recommend Walking with Walter Dog Training.

Lawren is by far the best, most efficient, caring, and capable dog (and owner!) trainer we’ve ever worked with. He helped transform our young puppy into a reliably obedient dog with good house manners, easy leash walking, simple commands, and follow-through tactics for us to use everyday. Training is an ongoing process and Lawren has guided us every step of the way. If you have a new puppy, or a dog who needs a training tuneup, this is your place!
