Walk A Pup 41 Mason Street, Salem, MA 01970

"Highly recommend! Dan & Yana were great from beginning to end, and helped our puppy in so many different ways. She went from a stubborn pup on the leash to enjoying walks in a few weeks."

"Really great company. Very professional and great programs for pups (highly recommend Play N Train). They are responsive to scheduling requests and questions via their easy-to-use messaging system and provide a short report at the end of each session."

"We adopted a three year old chi mix from a southern rescue and as first time dog owners, we really wanted to make sure we not only trained her well, but that we learned skills for helping her be happy and healthy. Walk A Pup is local to us and came highly recommended by our vet (All Creatures, also in Salem.) We did 1-on-1 sessions with Dan to start and it's amazing the progress both we and our dog have made! She's come out of her shell to be a smart, sassy little dog who loves socializing with other dogs, even big ones! Dan is a fantastic instructor and clearly loves all the pets he comes across. Every week he asked how she was doing, and adjusted our training lessons based on our feedback and observations. The training process felt organic and zero pressure. Dan would bring out various dogs of different temperaments to get her interacting with all kinds, and it's really upped her confidence level. As soon as she realizes we're on our way to the facility, she gets so excited! Now that we are done with the 1-on-1 sessions, we are starting on small group walks and will be following up with a group training class hopefully soon. I can't recommend them enough!"

"I first reached out to Walk A Pup before my first dog even came home and they were so supportive from the first communication. When she came home and was a little bit of a challenge, Dan and Yana were so great working with us 1x1, in classes, on her walks, etc. With their support, she has grown into the sweetest dog. When my second dog came home they were there from the beginning, helping introduce the two and helping through an adjustment period. They are so kind and positive, and clearly love the dogs they work with, and that’s consistent with every member of their team. I trust them daily with my pups and can’t recommend them highly enough!"

"I have had such a positive experience with Dan and Yana! I called them after adopting a 4-month-old Labrador who was smart as a whip but very headstrong - I wanted to ensure I was getting him into a good routine and addressing leash pulling and also continuing his basic training. From the initial communication with Yana and evaluation with Dan, I felt so at ease and knew they were going to be amazing. This week was our 5th session with Dan and everyone is so impressed with how far my pup has come in just one month! We have both learned so much and I really like Dan's approach and demeanor. He is a magician and the way he explains the behavioral aspect of everything really gives you a great foundation of understandingwhst motivates your dog. We have yet to use their other services (walking and play group) but I can't wait to try them. Ned loves Dan (can't stop wiggling when he sees him) and I like how rigorously they train their team. I trust them completely and they have really helped ease the transition of a new puppy in the house. Absolutely check them out!!"
