The TRUNNER Program

Transforming Relationships, One Dog at a Time

What is the TRUNNER Program?

The TRUNNER Program is our signature Train & Runner service designed to combine hands-on training with active physical engagement. Unlike traditional dog walkers or sitters, TRUNNER ensures that your dog receives intentional, structured training and mental/physical exercise—all while reinforcing the techniques you learn in your private sessions.

Key Benefits of TRUNNER

  • Consistent obedience training in and outside of the home

  • Increased mental and physical stimulation

  • Improved impulse control and focus

  • Reduced behavioral issues

  • Personalized follow-up videos and feedback

  • Strengthened communication between dog and owner
