What Are Dog Training Programs?​

dog and trainer 5

Dog training programs such as ours at Train Walk Poop in Salt Lake City, UT, focus on teaching your dog the skills he needs for more trust and confidence in himself and with you. With such skills, your dog will be ready to handle any situation proudly and responsibly.

The training programs we offer at Train Walk Poop are intensive but fun. Dogs get to learn the appropriate behavior that all owners want and expect, all this while socializing with other dogs and playing fun games. Our programs also include the pet owners as a part of the training so that the dog can continue to practice these behaviors outside of our training facility.
