Social Walks 

Build confidence, connection, and calm in the real world.

​

Our Social Walks are more than just a stroll - they’re a supportive, trainer-led experience designed to help dogs and their humans navigate the world together with confidence and calm.

​

What to Expect:

​

• Structured, trainer-guided walks with clear boundaries and goals

• No off-lead play or forced interaction - we focus on calm coexistence, not chaos

• Support for reactive, nervous, or excitable dogs - everyone is welcome, and every dog is respected

• Opportunities to practise real-life skills like loose lead walking, disengagement, calmness around distractions, and handler focus

• Discussion, guidance, and tips throughout the walk to help you feel more confident handling your dog in public

​

Who are these walks for?

• Dogs who struggle to remain calm around other dogs or people

• Puppies needing safe, positive exposure to the outside world

• Rescue dogs learning to feel safe and settled in new environments

• Owners looking to reinforce training in a real-world setting with professional support

Must have had 1:1 training or Group Training Classes with Rian’s Dog Training.
