Walk With Wilson (FAQ)
Walk With Wilson is a specialised dog training/outing service where Wilson incorporate training exercises during your dog's walks. It's a holistic approach that combines both exercise, training & socialisation.
1.
How long is each walk & train session?
Walk With Wilson typically lasts for 2 hours (excluding travel time to/from the activity location), ensuring that your dog receives adequate exercise, training, and attention.
2.
What are the activity timings?
Outing windows are on weekdays between 9 am - 11 am and 3 pm - 5 pm. If you are not at home during these times, please contact Wilson for alternative arrangements.
3.
Why is it the session only 2 hours long?
Two hours might seem short, but with a low dog-to-handler ratio (2 dogs to 1 handler), it involves continuous training/activity and can be very tiring for the dog. Including travel time, the total activity duration adds up to almost 3 hours.
4.
Who is this program suitable for?
Our walk & train services are suitable for both puppies and adult dogs. We customise the training approach based on the age, development stage, and specific requirements of each dog. It is also suitable for owners who work long hours, and require help to reinforce certain behaviour repertoires.
5.
Can I customise the training based on my dog's specific needs?
Absolutely! We understand that every dog is unique. Each dog is only paired with suitable dogs, or worked alone if needed. Each outing is tailored to address specific needs and goals.
6.
How often should my dog participate in walk & train sessions?
The frequency of sessions depends on your dog's individual needs and your training goals. Please contact us for further discussion.
7.
What if my dog has special needs or specific behavioural issues?
Include your objectives when filling out the sign-up form. It can contain specific training goals such as working on reactivity, fearfulness, or even just a day of fun! If your dog has a bite history, contact us for private home training initially.
8.
What happens during inclement weather?
We understand the importance of your dog's well-being. In case of inclement weather, we may modify the activities or, if necessary, reschedule the session. Your dog's safety is our priority.
