Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

I have a 7 yr old bulldog who started growling at me when I get near his food. We've never had aggression issues before this started. He has never bitten me, but I am worried he will. What can I do?

If not addressed it can get worse. For the time being I’d recommend making your dog wait patiently while the food is put out. Do not allow him to “rush” the bowl. He needs to understand that protecting his food is an unwanted and unnecessary behavior. However, if you are not comfortable with that, contact me ASAP so we can get to work on changing his behavior.

Question on Google
Why does my 2 year old Black Lab bark every time the doorbell rings?

It boils down to your relationship with your dog and what you allow and don’t allow. If the dog barks and you tell it to stop barking and it does not stop then you’ve got some relationship building to do with the dog. Dogs must understand what good behavior is.

Question on Google
How old does my dog need to be before I start training?

You can start training basic obedience as early as 8 weeks old. In addition to obedience, this is the best time to start introducing your dog to as many sights, sounds and smells as possible. Call me or schedule an evaluation and I am happy to provide some guidance.

Question on Google
My 4 yr old German Shepherd pulls me down the street when we walk. I love my dog, but can’t stand taking him for a walk anymore. Can you help with a dog who has a mind of his own when on leash?

I am sorry to hear that walks have become such a chore. Yes, I can help. I teach owners how to train their dogs to walk nicely on a loose leash. If you are interested in a training session, the best place to start is with an evaluation.

Question on Google
My puppy is eating/chewing everything in the house. How do I stop her?

Chewing is very common with puppies. It is important to have chew toys handy as an alternative to a household item. Show her what is an acceptable item to chew on. The ol’ “this instead of that” technique. : )

I left my 10 month old Sheepadoodle Watson with Lawren for a two week board and train program and have been absolutely amazed with his progress even months past his training! Lawren is extremely knowledgeable in his training experience and has the ability to pass the knowledge on to the owners as well. I will continue to use Lawren for years to come for guidance and continued training for all of my dogs/puppies!

I called Lawren back in the fall of 2018, as I was interested in having my then-2 year old lab trained. Actually, I was wanting a board-and-train situation, as I had recently broken my foot and I felt it was the perfect time to have her trained while I recuperated from surgery. Lawren agreed to do this, and had my girl for 2 weeks, and, wow-- what an improvement in her behavior I saw after those 2 weeks! He taught her how to calm down, and had her responding well to his commands. I work from home, and my clients were also very impressed with the huge difference in her behavior. Many commented on how much calmer she seemed, and how well she was behaving. It's also much easier walking her now than it was prior to her stay with Lawren. I have happily given Lawren's name to others who are interested in finding a high-quality dog (and owner!) trainer. I am definitely pleased that I chose Lawren Bennett and his business, Walking with Walter, to shape my lab into a well-behaved, happy member of the family.

We left our 1 year old Bordoodle with Lawren for a week of board and train. Our Millie is sweet but crazy as puppies are prone to be. Walking and barking were our biggest challenges. Lawren had Millie walking sanely both on and off leash within a few days. She has learned command words and even better - responds quickly to them. We can take her anywhere and know that she is controlled and under command. People stop us regularly to tell us what a great dog she is and how did we achieve it. She is a happy playful dog. I can not speak highly enough of Lawren (and Doug) and what they have achieved with our dog. -Kris

Lawren was so incredible to work with. His knowledge about dog behavior and how he teaches you the dog owner to better train your dog was incredible experience. I reached out to Walking with Walter after I adopted a dog from the pound, and not knowing what I was getting into I wanted to arm myself with techniques to better train my new friend. Lawren did that and more. Now walks are so enjoyable, no more pulling, no more barking, my guy is becoming the perfect dog and for that I cannot thank Lawren enough.
