How Running Paws Supports Dogs in Training and With Behavioral Needs:
January 24th is National Train Your Dog Day—a day to celebrate the importance of training for creating a happier, healthier life for you and your furry companion. Training builds trust, strengthens the bond between pet and owner, and ensures a safe, positive experience for everyone.
At Running Paws, we understand that training isn’t always a straightforward journey. Some dogs may face behavioral challenges or need extra guidance to learn and grow. That’s why we proudly support dogs in training or with unique behavioral needs, offering compassionate care that aligns with their progress.
Understanding Unique Needs
No two dogs are alike, especially when it comes to training or behavior. Some may be working on overcoming reactivity, while others are learning basic commands or leash manners. At Running Paws, we take the time to understand each dog’s personality, challenges, and training goals.
From the moment we meet your dog, our priority is to make them feel comfortable, secure, and understood. We tailor our care to meet their individual needs, ensuring every interaction supports their growth.
Consistency Is Key
Training works best when it’s reinforced consistently. Whether it’s practicing loose-leash walking, responding to cues, or simply maintaining calm behavior during walks or drop-in visits, we’re committed to sticking with your training plan. By using the same commands and positive reinforcement techniques, we help create a seamless experience for your dog—reinforcing good habits while keeping stress at bay.
Patience and Care
Dogs with behavioral needs require an extra dose of patience, and that’s something we’re proud to provide. We’ve worked with dogs who may feel anxious, reactive, or uncertain in new environments, and we know how to create a calm and supportive atmosphere. At Running Paws, every dog is treated with the kindness and respect they deserve, regardless of where they are in their training journey.
Why This Matters
Every dog deserves loving care and attention, no matter their challenges. We believe that behavioral issues or training progress shouldn’t prevent your pet from receiving the care they need while you’re away. Our holistic, client-centered approach ensures that your dog’s well-being comes first, every step of the way.
