Ready to fast forward to the part when you can do more with your dog?
Our 2-week Board and Train program is all about helping YOU. And if you’re wondering - how will this help me if my dog is with the trainer for two weeks?? You’re not the only one! Over the years I’ve tweaked our program so you feel a part of the process the whole time. From sharing everything over on Instagram, to the one-on-one sessions included in our program, AND continued support after the two weeks is up - our program is designed to help YOU feel confident doing everything on your own.
Does this sound like you?
Walks are no fun. Their dogs pull them everywhere and it’s exhausting.
Having guests over is a mess. Their dog jumps on everyone and it’s embarrassing.
They want to be able to enjoy more with their dog, but it feels like such a mess when they try to go anywhere.
They got a dog that challenges them much more than their previous dogs.
They struggle with reactivity on walks - their dogs bark and growl at other dogs/people/cars and they aren’t sure how to work through it.
They want to enjoy off-leash adventures and feel confident that their dog will come when called.
They tried training with food & treats - now their dog has the obedience stuff down, but will only listen when they have food.

Say hello to your new hype woman! It’s me - Bethany <3
Our board and train program gives you the head start you need to enjoy life (the way you always imagined) with your dog and our program will help get you there. I work through the issues you’re struggling with, teach your dog what to do instead, and then I show you how to continue everything at home. With the additional one-on-one sessions during the two weeks and continued support when the two weeks is up, you’ll feel ready to do all the things back at home. I’m not going anywhere. Working with you is my favorite part!

Owner Support
My favorite part about our program is supporting YOU when your dog gets back home. I offer follow-up visits for as long as you need them and I’m just a text away to help you celebrate wins and offer reassurance when needed.

The Walk
We are going to help you enjoy walks again! When using tools like the E Collar and prong collar (check out this blog for more details on the tools we use), we can be more precise about expectations on the walk - no more pulling you all over the place. We are going to help you look forward to walking your dog!

Place Command
Does your dog have difficulty settling in your home or when guests come over? Enter the place command! Think of it like an “off switch.” Eating dinner and don’t want your dog begging for your food? Place command. Want your dog to be more relaxed before a walk? Place command. We will teach your dog all about this command and help you continue it back at home.

Off-Leash Fun
Do you want to enjoy off-leash adventures with your dog? We've got you covered! During your dog's stay with us, we will be teaching the language of the E Collar, which helps us teach a non-negotiable recall - no more yelling at your dog to come back when called. We have all been there, which is so frustrating - and dangerous! Using tools like the E Collar gives us a safety net to enjoy those off-leash adventures!

Polite at thresholds
We will teach your dog how to slow down at thresholds (front door, kennel, getting in and out of the car, etc.) - this is a small thing that will make a big difference on walks and at other times throughout your day.

Outings
We love taking dogs on outings! It’s a great way to work on all the skills your dog will learn and practice them in the real world.
The best investment you will ever make
for your dog AND your piece of mind. If you are on the fence, or struggling to make a decision, do yourself a favor and put your trust in Bethany - your dog will thank you!
- Cindy, owner of Riggs
Bethany is so great at understanding you and your dog’s needs and goals.
Doing the board and train has helped give them such a great head start and I can’t wait to continue working with them. Bethany has been amazing to work with! She provided so many photos, videos and updates during the board and train and answered any questions I had. I now have the confidence to continue the work and practice for success AND I have a much more peaceful mindset going forward. - Brooke, owner of Maggie & Ivie
Bethany is a magician. Period.
Bethany transformed our lives. I started following her on IG before I even brought Nairobi home. In addition to the knowledge she presented, her energy told me that I definitely wanted to send my puppy to her when she was of age. I just had no idea how badly we would need her.
I drove 10hrs round trip to get Nairobi to Walking Dog Training. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. Bethany's services are worth every cent. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and the results speak for themselves. Sometimes I wonder if I brought home a new dog. Her communication is amazing and as a bonus, she's a fabulous pet photographer. If you are on the fence about utilizing her services, this is your sign to hop off the fence. - Brittany Sampson
Where do I even begin? Investing in Bethany’s board and train program has been the best decision I have made for my pup, Enzo, and I!
We were dealing with some reactivity stemming from nervousness and excitement and some overall pushy/sassy behavior. By the midway session I instantly noticed massive improvements in Enzo’s leash walking skills, less reactivity and fearfulness to the world, and he was overall more engaged and confident, and in a calmer state of mind. I was able to ask copious amount of questions and she was always really warm and receptive.
It’s since been 4 months since Enzo’s pick-up and I am completely over the moon about his progress! I am now able to take him on multiple outings in a day and we have received so many compliments on how well-behaved he is. My biggest goal with my dog is to have a strong relationship in which he fully trusts in me and we get to enjoy and do life together - Bethany has given us a wonderful head start and I’m so grateful for her! Our bond is stronger and better for it.
If you’re an owner who is looking to build and strengthen your relationship with your dog, need guidance with the messy moments most of us deal with, and are committed to learning on how you can support your dog so you can both succeed - she’s the trainer for you! - Karen, Enzo’s owner
& there’s more
On drop-off day I will send you off with printed copies of our trainings guides - The E Collar Starter Guide, Reactive Dog Handbook and our Go Home Guide. Our books and Go-Home Videos will help you feel confident when using the tools, and prepared to continue everything when your dog gets home.
She truly is "the dog whisperer."
Bethany is incredible at what she does. We left our 6 month old Dogo Argentino, Gin, with her for a two week board and train. Gin had issues with reactivity while on walks, to people, to other dogs, had a very hard time traveling in the car, whined a lot, and wouldn't let us touch her nails. In only two weeks, she has completely transformed into the most calm and easygoing puppy.
I can't imagine what our lives would have been like if we hadn't taken her to Bethany and she continued to grow into an 80lb dog. Regardless of what your puppy or dog is dealing with, Bethany will figure it out, correct it, and make sure you have the training and tools you need for continued success. She also posts the most amazing photos and stories on Instagram while she has your dog, so you can check in every day of the two weeks, and she's fabulous with communication. Thank you Bethany for completely transforming our puppy and our lives!

I love sharing this process with you. From start to finish you will be able to follow along with your dog’s progress and see what we are up to each day. You’ll feel like you are right there with us!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Bethany at Walking Dog Training is! I was really nervous to let her go for 2 weeks, but it was by far the best decision I made with her. Bethany worked wonders with my crazy puppy! She made it a point to take her places that are full of distractions to work towards our specific goals, and kept me in the loop with her progress the whole time!
Since being home, we have done a lot of off-leash walking around distractions, and she has been amazing in public. Bethany has also been really communicative, checking in on us and always reminding me that I have her as a resource if I have any questions or run into any issues. Also, THE PICTURES!! I can’t get over how perfectly Bethany captured her personality and now I have then framed everywhere!
