Learn to Speak “Dog” in No Time
Does your dog walk you? bwd Petcare’s Signature Walk Training Method applies the cornerstones of behavioural psychology to your dog's behaviour and we teach you how to do it too.
Enjoy your dog walks again.
This is not dog training.
It’s better.
We provide the awareness to modify your own actions and behaviours. We teach you what your existing behaviours are saying to your dog and how you can make adjustments to convey what you actually want!
When and what behaviours should you reinforce? Unlike the majority of dog training services that focus on obedience and treat usage, bwd Petcare teaches you how to control your own responses in order to communicate in a way your dog will understand.
This process, called conditioning is happening all the time already in your everyday interactions whether you are aware of it or not.
Knowledge is power!

The Dog Training Zone
bwd Petcare’s Complete Dog Training Program includes:
Indoor Games, Walk Training Session, and as many follow-up appointments as you need.
Does your dog…
1) Lose focus on walks?
2) Bark and/or growl and/or stare at other dogs on leashed walks?
3) Embarrass you?
Do you…
1) Avoid walking altogether or during certain hours?
2) Find yourself apologising to other dog owners?
3) Get super stressed at walk time?
There are simple small (and some big) changes that you could make in your walking or living routine that will make a of difference.
Book your walk training with bwd; save time & money.
Human reactive dogs in need of rehabilitation are not suitable for our services. That requires a certified veterinary dog behaviourist.
Walk Training Session
75 Minutes
Good for dogs showing signs of leash reactivity
Barking at doors, out windows, at people
For dogs with difficulties staying focused
Learn how to clearly reinforce your boundaries
Customized appointment based on your dog's specific needs
Most of the time it ultimately boils down to how humans respond to dog behaviour versus how the dog interprets our responses. Those often don’t line up.
We show you how to adjust your body language in a way that your dog can understand clearly. This encourages the dog behaviour you want and teaches you how to praise the dog behaviour in sustainable ways.
Create your account and request your appointment. It’s as easy as that.

Indoor Games
Enrich your dog’s day!
This will help both adults and children learn how to set boundaries with your dog and also establish and cultivate leadership.
This fun and focused dog training teaches you how to communicate with body language and how to increase or decrease the difficulty of the game to suit your dog's learning level.
The games we teach are mentally engaging bonding exercises that will increase attention, focus, self-soothing, all while being fun enrichment activity.
This training is great for everybody!

Walk Training Follow-up
60 minutes
Have you already had a session but want to learn more? Has your dog started showing new behaviours as you’ve implemented new boundaries and taken more of a leadership role (in their eyes)? We can help with that!
You create an account to book the initial session, then you are already set up to book any of our other services. This includes as many Walk Training Follow-ups as you require.
It’s an affordable way to validate and continue learning.

We never use force. We wait for your dog to make a choice and then we reinforce a good choice. Our method is based in the concept of Operant Conditioning. Force is not a part of that theory.
