What Is Holistic Dog Walk Train?
They are 2-in-1 result-driven programs.
A dog training program + Weekly dog walk training sessions with me (2 Hour each).
Everything included in holistic dog training programs will also be included here.
We will address both indoor and outdoor issues as well but with a focus on fear and reactivity on walks.
The goal is to build your dog’s self-confidence on walks. And to strengthen their ability to navigate the external environment without any fear or reactivity.
The two main root causes of our dog’s reactivity outside are a fear of something, or a strong desire to do something. And we should respond accordingly.
We will cover:
– How to freely and comfortably walk your dog on a leash without pulling.
– Identifying your dog’s external triggers, and desensitizing them to each one. Those triggers could be particular strangers, dogs, objects, noises, or movements.
– Meeting your dog’s needs & wants on walks, so the walk itself is a fulfilling experience. Dogs can’t un-need what they need.
– Effective socialization with strangers and other dogs on-leash. Dogs are social butterflies. The more social your dog is, the less reactive they will be.
– Increasing their self-confidence outside. There’s nothing that they can’t handle.
– Increasing their joy, happiness and fulfillment on walks. Plus making the walks a solid exercise to burn some energy in the process.
– How to effectively communicate with and respond to your dogs on walks. We are walking WITH our dogs; not just walking our dog.
– Strengthening the bond between the two of you.
– Implementing the best daily routine that meets your dog’s needs and works with your schedule.
– Food is medicine. We will cover healthy nutrition, and meal plan that meets your dog’s needs, and improve their mode.
My Dog Walk Train Approach
This is a transformative result-focused training.
This is entirly a dog-centered approach. Your pup will guide us to figure out what to do and how we do it.
I only walk dogs on a comfortable body harness with a back clip. Dogs are meant to feel comfortable, free, and enjoy their walks.
I walk WITH dogs; not walk dogs. It’s a date.
Dogs lead the walk as long as it’s safe to do so . This alone will skyrocket their self-confidence.
I respect dogs, and I always respond to their needs and wants. It’s a relationship based on connection, communication, mutual love and respect; not control!
I acknowledge, guide and support to help them see negative triggers differently. It’s NOT about commands to stop reacting, distractions, or forcing them to ignore a trigger that’s already there!!
Training is fun & play. Seriousness only stresses them out!
Dogs are highly influenced by our energy and body language; not by our emotionless verbal cues!
Is Holistic Dog Walk Train Right For You?
Dog walk train programs are right for you if:
– You have an urgent problem, face a dilemma, and seek radical improvements.
– You value your time, and seek transformation; not information.
– You love & respect your dogs, truly want to solve their problems, and make them happy.
– You are ready to commit to a training program.
– You are willing to actively participate, implement the training, and provide updates.
– You are too busy to take your dogs on frequent long walks by yourself.
This is NOT for you if you are just looking for information or quick fixes.
If you have the time to take your dogs on long walks on your own, then a holistic dog training program will be more suited to you.
If you are not sure, we can start with an online coaching session.

How Dog Walk Training Works
If you have more than one dog, please include that in your booking request so I can provide a custom quote.
Each dog will be walked and trained individually to focus on their unique needs and challenges. For this reason, sessions will be split between the two dogs to ensure each one receives the attention and support they deserve.
My programs are designed to create deep, lasting transformation — not quick fixes.
Dog Walk & Train sessions are in-person with me, within my service area (see map below).
These programs can be repeated as needed to support your ongoing practice and progress. They’re designed to help you build confidence, reinforce your dog’s skills, and speed up results — until you feel fully ready to take over.
Where & How We Meet
I’ll come to your home for the initial consult, our sessions together, and to pick up your dog for walk & train sessions.
Please make sure you’re located within my service area (see map below) before applying.
The Initial Consult Session
Every Walk & Train program begins with a 2-hour in-home consultation, where we dive deep into your dog’s behavior, lifestyle, and training needs. This session helps me get to know your dog and understand the root causes of what you’re seeing on walks.
Based on what we uncover, I’ll plan our Walk & Train sessions accordingly — focusing on the areas that need the most attention to set you and your dog up for real progress.
Walk & Train Sessions
Each Walk & Train session is 2 hours long and takes place with me and your dog only.
I’ll do my best to schedule sessions on your busiest days and times, so your pup gets their walk — and their training — while you take care of life.
After each session, you’ll receive a detailed recap via WhatsApp, including videos, photos, and progress notes, so you can follow along with what we’re practicing and how your dog is responding.
You’ll join us for some sessions, ideally in the second half of the program, to see the progress firsthand, receive a demonstration, and practice the training together so you feel confident continuing on your own.
To build momentum and connection quickly, I recommend starting with 2 Walk & Train sessions per week during the first few weeks. This helps establish trust and speeds up your dog’s learning curve.
Exclusive Text Support
I’ll be with you every step of the way through exclusive WhatsApp support — a rare and valuable feature in this industry.
We’ll stay connected through weekly or biweekly check-ins, where you’re invited to share photos, videos, updates, and questions — including anything that comes up during your walks. This helps us sort through challenges together and make adjustments as needed.
Response time: Within 24–48 hours, Wednesday through Sunday (often sooner).
This ensures you get the support you need while honoring a sustainable rhythm for both of us.
Personalized Report:
At the end of our program, you’ll receive a comprehensive email report that includes:
-
-
Your dog’s personality assessment
-
Behavior diagnosis
-
Customized training plan
-
Current progress overview
-
Focus areas moving forward
-
This email is yours as a reference — so when it’s time for you to take over, you’ll feel supported, prepared, and clear on what to do next.
Guarantee:
Your results are my priority — and I stand fully behind the process.
As long as you actively participate, implement the recommended changes, take your pup on consistent, quality walks, and maintain open, ongoing communication, you can expect meaningful progress.
If you’re in the right program, showing up, and doing the work — and your dog’s progress is simply slower than expected — I’ll gladly extend my support at no additional cost until we reach the results we’re working toward, together.
If you’d like continued hands-on help, you’re also welcome to repeat any Walk & Train program so I can step in for additional practice and guidance where needed.
I can’t do the work for you, but I’ll never leave you behind if you’re truly all in.
Payment
Payment is accepted via e-transfer or credit card, and is due in full upfront to confirm your booking.
Payment plans are not available for Walk & Train programs, as these are short-term, high-contact services. Thank you for understanding!
Refunds & Commitment
– Consultation fees are fully refundable only if cancellation is requested at least 72 hours in advance of your scheduled initial consult.
– Once the initial consult has taken place, all payments are non-refundable.
– Commitment is required for the full program duration once the program begins.
Limited Availability
Walk & Train programs are available seasonally from March to November — I take a break during the winter months for a little well-deserved hibernation ❄️🐾
I also pour a great deal of time, energy, and care into every client and their unique training journey. Because of this, I only take on a limited number of clients at a time.
I work exclusively with dog parents who are serious, committed, and ready to show up fully for the process.
If you’re still exploring your options or not quite ready to commit, I invite you to start with a single online coaching session instead — it’s a great way to gain clarity before diving into a full program.
How to Apply
Please submit your application for the program that feels right for you.
I’ll personally review your request and follow up with a payment link if I believe we’re a good fit and I can genuinely support you.
I’m so looking forward to working with you and your exquisite pups 🙂
Dog Walk Train Service Areas
★★★★★
Doaa is so wonderful with our pup! She’s helped us with training, and walks since he was a puppy.
She was a great help when our pup was in a cast after surgery and during rehab.
★★★★★
I’m so glad we happened to meet Doaa while she was walk-training another dog.
Since then, she’s been walk training our rescue pup and helping her unlock her full potential on walks while getting comfortable during car rides.
★★★★★
I’m so grateful for Doaa. My corgi can be very reactive, and finding someone with some unique ideas, patience, and skills to handle his reactivity was such a challenge. He has improved a lot on walks.
