Dog Walking & Dog Training in West Bloomfield, MI

We walk and train throughout West Bloomfield Township, plus the surrounding Oakland County communities. If you are unsure whether your street is in our walk zone, contact us with your address.

A backyard lets a dog out. It does not exercise them, expose them to new sights and smells, or reinforce leash manners. A midday walk is 30 or 45 minutes of private, leashed movement with a trained walker who reads your dog and reinforces what your trainer is teaching.

It means we teach a dog what to do instead of punishing what we do not want, using rewards, patience, and consistency instead of prong collars, shock collars, choke chains, or alpha rollovers. Every training session and every walk from our West Bloomfield team follows this same method, so your dog gets a consistent approach whether they are in a lesson with Becky or Megan or out on a midday walk with their regular walker.

Training sessions teach the skill; walks are where it gets practiced enough to stick. A puppy who only works on loose-leash manners once a week in a lesson relearns the old habit almost as fast as they learn it. Add a walker trained on the same force-free, positive reinforcement method, and that practice happens on every visit, not just once a week.

Yes. We provide in-home force-free, positive reinforcement dog training in West Bloomfield, MI, including loose-leash walking for puppies. No prong collars, no shock collars, no choke chains, no alpha rollovers. Becky Lea, our founder, is CPDT-KA and a Certified Shelter Dog Trainer; Megan, our trainer, is also CPDT-KA. Most cases see real progress in four to six sessions.

Yes. Every walker on our team is trained on force-free handling. The loose-leash cues, body-language reading, and reward-based reinforcement Becky and Megan teach in training sessions are the same protocols your walker uses on every walk. That continuity is what makes a puppy's training stick.

Yes. We assign three walkers to your household, a primary, a secondary, and a backup so your dog is never left without care if someone's out. The primary and secondary are the two faces your dog will see most often; the backup stays familiar with your dog and their routine so they can step in seamlessly if needed. Your dog learns three faces, not a rotating cast. We tell you all names at the meet-and-greet.

Yes. Our whole team is Pet Care certified, and that training includes medication. Because every pet takes medication differently, we add one more safety step: you show us exactly how your dog takes theirs, whether it's a pill, a topical, or an injection like insulin, and we follow that same routine at every visit.

Yes, with judgment. We walk in light rain, snow, and cold with weather-appropriate gear. In severe heat, severe cold, or active thunderstorms, we shorten the visit to a quick #1 and #2 break and indoor enrichment time so your dog still gets relief without the safety risk.
