A WalkSMART™ Program
Urban Pup Academy™
Urban Pup Academy™ is my Socialization & Enrichment program designed specifically for puppies ages 4–8 months.
Delivered through 4 or 8 structured, 60-minute sessions, this program focuses on helping puppies learn how to move through the city with calm confidence, curiosity, and emotional balance.
I work directly with your pup using gentle leash leadership, age-appropriate enrichment, and carefully guided exposure to the sounds, sights, and pace of real urban environments — including sidewalks, parks, patios, and busy streets.
Each session is intentionally paced to avoid overstimulation while building calmer focus on leash, healthy social neutrality with people and dogs and better recovery after excitement
You’ll also receive clear feedback and simple, practical strategies you can apply at home, so progress continues between sessions and beyond the program.
Urban Pup Academy™ gives puppies the structured start they need to grow into confident, adaptable urban dogs — without rushing development or overwhelming their nervous systems.
