Are you a dog owner who loves the great outdoors? Do you dream of exploring hiking trails with your furry friend by your side, off-leash and in perfect harmony with nature? If so, then our newest workshop, “Trail Walking for High Expectations Dog Training,” is tailor-made for you and your canine companion.

Hiking with your dog has the potential to be one of the most fulfilling activities you can share together. The sights, sounds, and scents of the wilderness provide an enriching experience for both human and dog alike. However, without proper training and preparation, this adventure can quickly turn into a stressful ordeal.
At our workshop, set amidst the picturesque beauty of Round Lake Park in Camas, we’ll equip you and your dog with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate trails confidently and responsibly. Led by experienced trainers, this workshop is designed to elevate your dog’s trail etiquette to new heights.

So, what can you expect to learn at Trail Walking for High Expectations Dog Training?

 

Comfortable Encounters: Passing by fellow hikers and their dogs should be a breeze, not a source of anxiety. We’ll teach you strategies to ensure smooth interactions on the trail, fostering positive encounters for all involved.

Managing Excitement: Birds chirping, squirrels scurrying—nature is full of fascinating distractions. But how do you keep your dog from becoming over-excited? We’ll show you techniques to help your dog maintain focus and composure amidst the temptations of the wilderness.

Essential Cues: Effective communication is key to off-leash hiking success. Learn how to teach your dog crucial cues such as “slow/easy,” “side,” “back,” and “go ahead.” These commands empower your dog to navigate trails safely and responsively, enhancing your hiking experience.

By mastering these skills, you’ll pave the way for leash-free adventures with your canine companion, forging a deeper bond built on trust and mutual understanding.

It’s important to note that participation in this workshop requires prior completion of either a Manners Class or Private training package and be comfortable around other dogs. This prerequisite ensures that all participants possess a foundational understanding of canine behavior and training principles, setting the stage for success in our trail walking workshop.

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker looking to elevate your outdoor excursions or a dog owner eager to explore new adventures with your furry friend, Trail Walking for High Expectations Dog Training offers a unique opportunity to embark on trails with confidence and joy.
Join us at Round Lake Park in Camas and unleash the full potential of your hiking adventures with your dog. Together, let’s explore the great outdoors in harmony, one paw print at a time.
