Thoughtful support for dogs who benefit from individualized care
Our Philosophy
Training isn’t just about cues, it’s about communication, understanding, and relationship.
At Farley’s Friends, we believe that the strongest training starts with helping you understand your dog. Their body language, their emotions, their needs, and the way they move through the world.
When we learn to read our dogs clearly, we can support them better, advocate for them confidently, and build a relationship rooted in trust.
And while structure may sound strict, it’s actually the opposite... Structure is support.
It helps dogs feel safe, seen, and guided.
Because:
Structure now = more freedom later.
A dog who understands the world, trusts their handler, and knows what to expect, gets to experience more. More walks, more adventure, more confidence, more joy.
Our training focuses on:
-
helping you understand what your dog is communicating
-
reading early signs of stress, excitement, overwhelm, or curiosity
-
creating routines that support emotional regulation
-
building calmness and clarity
-
fostering a deeper, more connected relationship
-
supporting dogs with big feelings in a gentle, empowering way
Training isn’t something we do to dogs, it’s something we do with them, every day, in every interaction.
OUR SERVICES
Canine Curated Walks (from $36) please see below for full price breakdown
Because no two dogs walk the world the same way.
Our Curated Canine Walks are all about fulfilling your dog and meeting them exactly where they’re at in the moment. Some days they need a quick potty break and a peaceful stroll. Other days they’re ready to run, explore, follow their nose, or simply stand and observe the world moving around them.
These walks are not a one-size-fits-all service, they are designed for your dog’s emotional, physical, and sensory needs each day.
What’s Included:
-
Fully private, individualized walk
-
Safety & threshold practice (doorways, sidewalks, gates, cars)
-
Natural enrichment: sniffing, exploring, processing
-
Neutrality around people, dogs, sounds, and real-world distractions
-
Relationship building & gentle structure
-
Support for dogs with big feelings (anxiety, reactivity, fear)
-
Play & movement when it supports your dog's confidence and fulfillment
-
Optional light training reinforcement (basics & manners)
-
Clear communication and consistent handling
-
Post-walk updates & photos
These walks are about helping your dog feel fulfilled, regulated, confident, and understood.
Not rushed. Not forced. Just supported.
Who these walks are ideal for:
Curated Canine Walks are wonderful for any dog who thrives with personalized, thoughtful care, especially:
-
dogs with big feelings
-
anxious, shy, or overwhelmed dogs
-
dogs who need gentle exposure to the world
-
reactive dogs who do best on private walks
-
puppies learning their environment
-
seniors needing a slower, sensory-based pace
-
high-energy dogs needing the right kind of fulfillment
If your dog needs a handler who truly understands them, these walks are for them.
