Hillary's Hounds

 Daily Dog Walks

Our Daily Dog Walks incorporate the Art of the Walk into every walk, providing optimal fun, exercise and psychological challenge.  Every walk builds on your dog's newfound skills and understanding.  Some clients use daily walks as periodic tuneups when they have to be away or would like our help with specific behavioral problems. 

No matter what your dog's age or level of physical ability, these Dog Walks are designed to meet every dog's needs for exercise and mental challenge - all for the price of a dog walk!

RATES

•  $25 for one dog

• $10 for 2nd dog

Art of the walk Training Sessions

Art of the Walk training sessions take place throughout the day and some evenings.  These individual sessions with you and your dog will teach you the Art of the Walk, handling skills and address issues such as dog aggression, uncontrollable prey drive and even aggression toward other dogs.

 Maggie, age 7 was uncontrollable for six years.  She'd lunge out the door and was dog aggressive.  She is pictured here in her 4th session.  She now listens to "No" when other dogs approach and sits quietly as they pass.

In training sessions dogs learn to focus on their handler, self-correct themselves to maintain their balance and sit when the handler stops.  Eash session is conducted quietly with minimal talking. This allows the dog to learn how to "read" his handler. 

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

There is no "average" dog, however most dogs learn the Art of the Walk quickly and may only require a few sessions of instruction.  Other dogs with issues such as dog aggression or a strong prey drive may require more. Likewise, there are owners with minimal time to devote to the initial stages of this training.  In either case, we work with every owner to meet your goals and to give you the skills and tools you need to continue on your own.

Training Sessions:

• $95 per session

Handling Sessions with Owners:

• $50 per session
