More Than A Walk!

Do you have a hyper dog? Is he home alone during the day? We all wish we could do more for our dogs. More running, walking, playing, training, cuddling. Most of us don't have enough hours in the day to achieve everything we need to do for ourselves, let alone our canine companions.

Those of us with high-energy, bouncy, bright, clever dogs need to do more, more, more with our dogs! For most dogs, a walk down the block is just a taste of what they need for exercise. When dogs are not getting quite enough physical and/or mental exercise, they will start to show some signs:

• Inappropriate chewing
• General hyper-activity
• Barking
• Digging
• Excessive licking/grooming
• Stress/anxiety
• And many other subtle signs...

Some dogs need more...

Yellow Brick Dogs is now offering a new solution to this growing problem. Just like the traditional "dog walker", I will come to your house in the middle of the day and walk your dog. However, beyond that, your dog is in for a solid hour of training, playing, games, running, socializing, and yes, maybe a walk as well. Each dog is different! Some want to run full tilt in an open field! Others crave mental exercise and want to learn new things. Most are an interesting mix of both.

I will teach your dog to walk nicely on leash, work on training skills such as sit and down stay, recall (come when called!), and waiting at doors. More advanced dogs might learn new tricks such as roll over, backing up, spin, high five, jump (over), and more. Dogs who need even more attention will go with me to a nearby park or places like Petsmart, Stony Point Fashion Park, and Bass Pro Shops.

Sessions last an hour and usually take place Monday-Friday between 11AM and 3PM (the middle of the workday), but you may request specific times. You can have me come once a week as a special treat for your dog, twice a week, or even 5 days a week for those out of control hyper dogs! Your dog will get high quality, positive, reward based professional training, burn energy, and have fun at the same time. I will give you protocols for maintaining the training so that it carries over to you as well. If I am the only one training the dog, sure, his skills will improve, but the key is for everyone to be involved.

Sessions are purchased as follows:

First time "trial" session: $15
Single session: $25
Package of 5 sessions (pre-payed): $100
