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. : )

We have a 6 year old pitbull/hound mix named Chief who needed some help with basic commands, as well as reactivity and resource guarding. My husband and i decided it was time to take care of this as we were expecting our first baby in Sept. We did the 4 week board and train with Lawren and Chief came back a different dog! Not only did he gain the confidence he needed but he learned how to be a good dog and be happy while doing it. Lawren also taught us how to help Chief be the best doggy he can be! Highly recommend

Lawren has been absolutely God sent to our family. I called him one day after finding him on Google. I was so desperate (to the point of tears) to find answers for our pittie, who has severe allergies, and behavior issues that stem from her agony from that, and from being attacked as a 2 year old dog, years back. Lawren was so kind and he answered all the questions and concerns I had, over the phone, without me even booking an appt. Which ultimately won my business, hands down. We booked a consult with him right away after that, and he has continued to amaze us with his experience, skill, and all around natural ability to work with dogs. My jaw has dropped (okay maybe just in my head) several times during training, because he has been able to get our dog to do things that I never imagined she would be able to. Including, but not limited to, her being in the same vicinity as another dog. Something I thought would be impossible. We can’t thank you enough Lawren! And we will definitely be customers for life. 🙏🏻

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Lawren! When we first started training our dog was pulling us on the leash constantly, got away from us once, and had an extremely high prey drive. She also struggled with some reactivity with towards other dogs and people. After working with Lawren, she is able to go out to eat with us and sit nicely under the table, be off leash and reliably recalled, and be around people and other dogs. If you are looking for a trainer, reach out to him!!

I can’t say enough good things about Lawren! I have a Doberman who has been a challenge! My biggest battle was leash walking and managing leash reactivity to other dogs. Lawren’s calm nature and confidence not only transferred to the Doberman but also to me! Lawren provided us with skills to approach walks with confidence and has made our daily walks enjoyable! It has truly been a remarkable to watch our success working as team! I can't recommend Lawren enough!

I was referred to Walking with Walter Dog Training a year ago and wow what a difference I have seen in my Doberman! Not only did my dog get a lot of valuable training during his 2 week boarding stay, I was also taught throughout this process the correct way to mitigate/redirect “bad behavior”. I truly believe with exceptional guidance from a qualified trainer (cough-cough*Lawren) and using the right tools, you will see a huge change in your dogs behavior. My dog Banx, no longer pulls on leash, barks at his triggers such as (squirrels ,bikes ,rabbits) and most importantly I feel safe when him and I are out and about going on walks, or at the dog park or hanging out at a Brewery! Huge thanks to Walking with Walter, 10000% recommend from one dog mom to another:)
