Our Services

We offer a variety of services to help you care for and train your pets. Our obedience training services are designed to teach dogs of all ages and breeds basic obedience commands and improve their overall behavior. We also offer behavior modification services for dogs with more severe behavior problems, as well as puppy training services to help new puppy owners teach their puppies basic obedience skills and proper socialization.

If you’re short on time, our dog walking services can provide your dog with exercise and mental stimulation while you’re away at work or busy with other activities. And if you’re going out of town, our pet sitting services can provide your pets with the care and attention they need while you’re away.

Obedience Training

Obedience training services are designed to help dog owners teach their dogs basic obedience commands and improve their overall behavior. Drew can provide guidance on a variety of topics, including leash walking, recall, sit, stay, down, and more. Obedience training can also provide dogs with mental stimulation and a sense of purpose, which can improve their overall well-being and reduce the risk of developing behavioral issues related to boredom or anxiety. Investing in obedience training is a wise choice for any dog owner looking to improve their dog's behavior and strengthen the bond between them.

Behavior Modification

Replacing learned, undesirable behaviors (aggression, anxiety, destructive chewing, excessive barking, peeing/pooping indoors, leash reactivity, etc.), with more desirable behaviors.

Puppy Training

Puppy training services help new puppy owners teach their furry friends basic obedience skills and proper socialization. Drew can provide guidance on a variety of topics, including housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, and more. By investing in training your puppy, you'll avoid common behavioral problems such as destructive chewing, excessive barking, and aggression towards people or other animals.

Client Testimonials

Drew and his team are THE BEST! Drew trained our puppy and over 10 visits he became the most obedient dog. The improvements were evident from the very first visit. Drew also trained me on how to continue to train my dog which is extremely important I have learned. All of my clients and friends who have used his company have been thrilled! Such a friendly group of animal lovers! You will be thrilled to use them! Thank you Drew!

Drew is fantastic. I have an 8 month old husky puppy and he can be a handful because he’s super-smart and super-stubborn (if you have a husky, you know exactly what I mean!). Drew immediately understood what we needed and we plunged right into training on the first visit. We’re still using the teaching collar but Suka is respondent and usually obedient. This is my third husky, so I knew generally what to expect, but Drew has made training time fun for me and my pup!

I have a 7 yr. old PWD that has been jumping and nipping people. I was very impressed with Drew’s knowledge of canine behavior. He was able to immediately take charge of my dog and taught us how to make corrections to unwanted behavior. He can truly give you a stress free "Walk in the Park"!

Drew’s training guidance and recommendations were immensely helpful. In just one hour, Drew armed me with knowledge on essential commands and tips for walking my 12-week-old Labrador puppy. I’m an avid researcher and have read countless articles on puppy training and Just A Walk In The Park’s 1:1 training session taught me more than I’ve learned from research in months.

We had a one hour session with Drew yesterday to help our 14 week old Vizsla walk on a leash without nipping at us, tugging or chewing the leash. We woke up this morning, took her for a long, enjoyable walk. My husband’s reaction, “That was the best money we have ever spent.” Drew’s hands-on lesson and easy to use tips gave us the immediate skills we needed to have a happier puppy (and husband)!! Highly recommend!!

This is the best trainer you could get! My puppy, Sammy, had severe leash aggression. I couldn’t walk him near a dog without him barking and lunging aggressively until it passed. I had tried everything possible to fix the issue but nothing worked. Drew was able to fix this in only one session! He also showed me what to do so that I could continue to work with him at home. I haven’t had any problems since. Drew was so kind to Sammy and explained all of his training methods to me in detail. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer in the area.

Just a walk in the park gave us great insight to the needs of our dog. She was very challenging (after previous training) to walk on a leash. We had resigned ourselves to think we just had a strong willed dog and there was nothing we could do. After one session with Drew, we now have a completely different dog. We now enjoy our walks with her, and she enjoys it too! We highly recommend them.

Drew's training techniques are a game changer! Our beach walks are forever changed with our miniature goldendoodle. Our dog responded immediately and understood what he was being taught. Wish we had used Drew's service years ago. Highly recommend A Walk in the Park!
