Walk & Train | Dog Walking in East Kent
For dogs with big feelings who need a little more than the average dog walk.
At Kent Canine Behaviour, we understand that not every dog finds the world easy to navigate. Some dogs struggle with reactivity, anxiety, frustration, over-arousal or confidence, making traditional dog walking services unsuitable for their needs.
Our walks are designed for dogs who need that extra understanding, patience and specialist support.
Led by a qualified Canine Behaviourist, our Walk & Train sessions combine behaviour modification, practical training, exercise and breed-specific enrichment, tailored to each dog's individual needs.
Whether your dog needs help managing their emotions, building confidence or developing everyday skills, we provide supportive, structured experiences at a pace they can cope with.
🐾 Walk & Train
£30 – 1 hour | £45 – 2 hours
More than exercise, our Walk & Train sessions provide dedicated behaviour support for dogs who need additional guidance in everyday situations.
Sessions can incorporate:
Behaviour modification and confidence building
Reactivity training and carefully managed exposure
Desensitisation and counterconditioning
Impulse control and arousal regulation
Engagement, disengagement and loose lead walking
Breed-specific enrichment and natural outlets
Building confidence in different environments
Why choose a 2-hour session?
Our extended sessions allow time to travel to new locations, providing opportunities for carefully managed exposure to different environments, dogs, people and everyday situations.
Rather than spending two hours continuously training, we balance practical behaviour work with exploration, sniffing, breed-specific activities, rest and decompression.
The aim isn't simply to change what your dog does, but to help change how they feel about the situations they find difficult.
No owner attendance required. Sessions are delivered by a qualified Canine Behaviourist and adapted to your dog's needs, emotional wellbeing and ability to cope.
For dogs with more complex behavioural needs, an initial assessment may be required.
🐕 Dog Walking
£18 – 1 hour
£25 – 2 dogs from the same household (1 hour)
Even our standard dog walks are more than just exercise!
All our dog walking services include ongoing training and reinforcement of everyday skills, such as loose lead walking, engagement, disengagement from distractions and managing arousal levels.
We also provide opportunities for sniffing, exploration and enrichment, supporting your dog's physical and emotional wellbeing.
Whether your dog is confident and sociable or needs a little extra patience and understanding, each walk is tailored to their individual needs.
A Different Approach to Dog Walking
We believe dogs with big feelings deserve the same opportunities to explore, exercise and enjoy the world as any other dog.
For some, that means quieter locations, additional space, carefully managed exposure or simply having someone who understands their behaviour and knows when to adjust expectations.
Whether you choose a standard walk or a dedicated Walk & Train session, your dog benefits from an individual, welfare-focused approach that prioritises their emotional wellbeing as much as their physical exercise.
