EXCLUSIVE TO GOAT CAMP GRADUATES!
Loving Leaders Pack Walk Program
This monthly program gives GOAT Camp graduates the opportunity to refine social skills, maintain training, and practice real-world application of learned behaviors—all in a supportive, guided environment.
Led by Bill, each hour-long walk takes place in local parks and focuses on reinforcing handler engagement, calm leadership, neutrality, and precise leash communication amidst the natural distractions of other dogs, people, and the environment.
Spots are limited to 10 dogs per walk to ensure personalized attention and hands-on guidance.
Program Goals:
Community Building: Connect with other dedicated dog owners and cultivate a network of like-minded individuals who are committed to positive, results-driven training.
Handler Engagement & Skills: Strengthen your ability to remain neutral, maintain focus, and communicate effectively with your dog in dynamic, real-world scenarios.
Dog Socialization & Pack Drive: Enhance your dog’s cooperative behaviors, reinforce pack-oriented play and work drive, and cultivate harmonious interactions within a group setting.
Training Maintenance & Generalization: Apply and generalize skills learned in GOAT Camp to new environments and situations, helping your dog stay reliable and responsive outside of the home.
Real-Time Feedback: Receive individualized guidance and corrections from Bill and Krista throughout the walk, ensuring practical application and continuous improvement.
